Struthio is a small coastal town founded by [[ostrich1414]] in October 2017.  Located at the mouth of a river along the ocean in a savannah biome, Struthio consists heavily of acacia wood and stone brick with two towers gating the mouth of the river; on the outskirts of downtown Struthio, various villager farms dot the nearby desert and the colossal Hall of Vatlos stands as a monolithic team achievement.  Struthio is the second base constructed by [[The League]], and it holds significance as both a base for supplies and utilities and for aesthetics.

Struthio is a large coastal city founded by ostrich1414 in October 2017. Located at the crossroads of a savannah biome and desert biome surrounded by ocean, Struthio began as a small port town heavily consisting of acacia wood and stone brick at the mouth of a river. Over time, the base began to grow rapidly until it barely resembeled its former identity, becoming a completely new, large-scale city rather than a small, simple town. Struthio was the second base constructed by The League, and it holds significance as both a base for supplies and utilities as well as aesthetics and achievement.


History

The Birth of Downtown Struthio

In late October of 2017, while working on Estevez with fellow League members Porkington and Master_Xybot, ostrich1414 decided to scout out a location for a new base; a smaller one, but one still crucial to the team. Eventually, he landed upon a savannah biome with the mouth of a river meeting the ocean beside it. Ostrich1414 had an idea for a small coastal town in a savannah biome made exclusively out of acacia wood; typically a little-used block in regards to building, he wanted the town to stand out. Ostrich1414 began working on Downtown Struthio immediately after settling, clearing massive amounts of land and harvesting multiple chests of acacia wood. Meanwhile, he would frequently head back to Estevez and help out there, working on the two projects simultaneously.

Eventually ostrich1414 invited both Porkington and Master_Xybot to Struthio, and the town itself began to grow significantly. Using his own city Quinsigamond as an influence, due to its congestion in such a small land area, ostrich1414 placed multiple buildings close together and varying structure heights for a unique skyline. In December of 2017, ostrich1414 had officially completed the exterior of Downtown Struthio, and began to focus on other projects nearby with his partners.

The Rush for Villagers

While working on downtown Struthio, as well as after its completion, ostrich1414 and Porkington collaborated on a nearby project: villager breeding and farming. The two transformed a previous village into an expansive district of villager breeding farms, iron farms, crop farms, and more, hoping to boost the League's wealth and self-sufficiency. Starting around November 2017, the two worked feverishly on the farms, collecting dozens of emeralds and other materials, growing Struthio's outskirts and suburbs; this also led to the exploration of a nearby peninsula in which Porkington built his house and a mob grinder, set right in the ocean.

The Hall of Vatlos and Stagnation

In December of 2017, long after Downtown Struthio's completion and the slowing down of Estevez's construction, ostrich1414 and Porkington began to work on a new project, and quite possibly the largest one for the League yet: the Hall of Vatlos. Located on a strip of desert along the ocean, nearby the villager farms, the Hall of Vatlos was a colossal structure modeled after Porkington's own Strawman Temple at Forsta Stad. The Hall featured various large stone brick columns and soaring archways, with an interior hall consisting of quartz arches and dark oak furnishings. Eventually, in the midst of construction, ostrich1414 and Porkington invited Cinnablaw to Struthio, in the hopes that she would be able to contribute her work to the Hall; however, shortly upon her arrival, she declined in server activity and later abandoned the game altogether. Regardless, the Hall of Vatlos remained an ambitious project that stood as a monument to the League's ideals, and, due to its size and resource-heavy consumption, fluctuated between construction and hiatus.

With the Hall in a state of hiatus and much of Struthio's growth slowing to a halt as a result of The Cold War in early 2018, the League began to focus on other projects and efforts, mainly using Struthio as a hub for farming and manufacturing supplied and materials. Struthio remained an important supply base up until the end of the Cold War, and eventually fell into a period of stagnation. However, in July of 2018, ostrich1414 brought Sengorn_Leopard to the base as a temporary residence, where he contributed much of his farming and building methods. Though Sengorn_Leopard only intended to stay at Struthio for a few short weeks, this was later prolonged when he began building more complex structures.
