New Ishtar is a city founded by AtacFauxpas in the Spring of 2022. Originating as a villager trading hall, the former outpost has now grown into what can be considered an entire city. With several farms and many large, intricate buildings, the city has sought to, and continues to successfully outdo its predecessor in terms of both physical size and wealth.
History
Founding
There was no exact date that New Ishtar was founded, instead the city grew organically. After regaining access to his account in February, AtacFauxpas returned to the server after a 1–2-year hiatus. Seeking to regear, he set out to create a villager trading hall which his previous solo base lacked and built a villager breeder at the first village he could find. He also set up a pen of cows and sheep. While building these, AtacFauxpas realized that this location would actually serve as a good location for a base due to the natural materials found near it, including a large stone mountain and a spruce forest.
As time went on, AtacFauxpas set up multiple utilities, such as a raid farm and /portals linking to other dimensions and spawn.
Growth
The city grew rapidly under the sole administration of AtacFauxpas, and served as a place for him to refine his architectural skills as well as learning the intricacies of redstone. Though this sated him for a while, he realized that soon the task of constructing an entire functional city would simply be too large an undertaking for one person. As a result, AtacFauxpas invited several players he deemed trustworthy, and gave them the permission to build, modify, and invite others to the city as they saw appropriate. This marked the first boom in New Ishtar's growth, and the inhabitants quickly worked together to construct farms as well as mere aesthetic buildings. This rapid phase of construction all occurred without any sort of urban planning involved, though typically the newly constructed buildings did not interfere with any other projects being built.
Modern New Ishtar
Throughout the city, there are a conglomerate of districts built typically by separate players. There is the Old District, built by AtacFauxpas, naturally consisting of the villager breeder from which the city has its origins. Here also is the sugarcane farm, and an old storage building. This district has a distinct, slightly esoteric architectural style which resembles the old city of Ishtar. Directly adjacent to the Old District lies the Canal District. Pertinent to the name, this area is distinguished by several canals, primarily built out of stone brick. On the earth between the canals, there are several buildings built by ChuckFuk, which utilize a monolithic, but elegant style. Also adjacent to the Old District, dacegod863 has constructed a dense series of buildings that all possess a variety of buildings blocks. This coalesces into one beautiful, cozy district, a fine addition to the city. Dacegod863 has also constructed a stone farm and an auto-sorting machine.
Brick Brotherhood
New Ishtar became the home of the Brick Brotherhood, with all members of the group being invited by Atacfauxpas shortly after the group's formation. This has led to many of the structures being built primarily out of brick variants(mostly stone bricks), although there are other structures that are built from other materials.
