History

Ascaris was founded in late May 2014 by Pippenger and Cinnabars. It was originally small in population but very large in size, composed of over a hundred dense stonebrick buildings that stretch hundreds of blocks in either direction. The mods who have visited estimate that it is one of the largest bases on the server, if not the largest.

Everything in the city is built in a unique Ascarian style of Post-Imperial Architecture, and every construction required approval from Cinnabars or Pippenger, the Doges of the city and the original inhabitants. The vast majority of the city was constructed by only these two players before any others arrived.

Over the years, work at Ascaris has periodically halted and resumed many times. It ultimately lasted nearly seven years before being being destroyed.

Since its initial founding, many new members have come to Ascaris, some invited and some not. The population is now much larger than it originally was.

On December 8th 2019, Ascaris was annexed by Yittrium and the Bloc for Clans, splitting it across the middle.

Landmarks

The city contained a system of golem spawners with a lava blade harvest in the western section. There were three locations where golems spawn, but they were carefully disguised as regular buildings to blend into the rest of the city. Ascaris was primarily an aesthetic build designed to look akin to an actual city, not simply a Minecraft base.


In the southwestern section of town, built directly into the ocean, was the Rose Cathedral. Farther out, in the sparse frontier of the city, lay the second cathedral, sometimes called the Lilac Cathedral or the House of Doge.


Under the deep ocean that separates the swampy western landmass from the urban eastern island sat a large flooded district, composed of broken stone brick houses without roofs. Part of this district included an underwater replica of the main plaza and city hall of New Caladan, the capital of the Empire, as well as replicas of the surrounding houses. In the present day, this district is no longer more of a ruin than most others.


At the southern end of the island was the Library of Simpvp, a complex of vine-draped buildings roofed with jungle wood planks and stairs. It contained the largest collection of player books ever amassed.

The Library

The library contains dozens of original copies of books written by players on the server, some histories or memoirs, some fiction, and some difficult to describe. Several books are forbidden to protect the economic interests of the authors or because they contain coordinates and other sensitive information, but the majority can be copied for players in exchange for a small fee. Listed below are books that are both publicly available and potentially of interest.


  • Brntrogdor: "Burninating 1-2"
  • Cyborgboy007: "Modal Analysis" and "Spawn !"
  • Dakkadok: "Dakkadok" and "Slaughter"
  • Deflowvesper: "The Hoebitt 1-3" and "The Yggdrasil"
  • Elocphant/Odinfire: Over A Dozen Books
  • FoSchnizzle: "Lysergidi 1-2", and "Winnie the Pooh"
  • Ostrich1414: "The Life of Wilbur"
  • Peppy 42: "The Enderman"
