The League is an organized clan co-founded by Porkington, ostrich1414, and Master_Xybot in October of 2017. Conceived shortly after the War of Monarchia and the fall of the United Alliance, the League was founded on ideals of wealth, power, and influence. Containing a number of bases both close to and far from spawn, the League is set upon expanding its grasp on the server by forming intimate connections with players and bases, as well as growing its own personal interests for the good of the organization itself.

History
The Fall of the United Alliance and the War of Monarchia
The beginnings of the League can be traced as far back as late September of 2017, before the War of Monarchia and the fall of the United Alliance. Ostrich1414, who was the leader of the UA at the time, was simultaneously in talks with his close ally and fellow UA member Porkington about forming a new clan, one of their own. Ostrich1414 was also slowing becoming weary of the UA, and secretly wanted to withdraw. During this time, tensions between the UA and clipchip were thickening, so ostrich1414 and Porkington devised a plan to use an imminent war as a scapegoat to withdraw and focus on their potential idea.
On September 27th, 2017, the ostrich1414, on behalf of the United Alliance, declared war on clipchip's "Clipiiii's Gang" over land disputes in the UA's capital city of Monarchia; during the length of the war, however, ostrich1414 planned to surrender quickly and resign from his position.
The aptly-named "War of Monarchia" ended on October 6th, 2017 as the UA officially surrendered to Clipiiii's Gang, and ostrich1414 formally resigned from his position as Leader of the United Alliance. The end of the war saw clipchip's inheritance of the UA, which he later discontinued to found The Royal Allegiance, and his acquisition of all former UA bases. Clipchip also appointed ostrich1414 as his so-called "Indentured Servant", while Porkington became the Lord of Tamarisk. Nevertheless, ostrich1414 and Porkington were free from the UA's grasp, and their new membership in the RA proved to be no issue either as clipchip frequently neglected his new clan, allowing it to fall into a state of inactivity and questioning.
A World Underground
Almost instantly after the end of the War of Monarchia, in early October of 2017, ostrich1414 and Porkington found a spot for their newest base: "Estevez", or "Vez" for short. The first base of the League, Estevez began with the creation of a massive underground dome, decorated with diorite, stone brick, and red nether brick. From this dome, the pair expanded the base, connecting lengths of tunnels and other underground rooms into what would become a massive underground complex. During Vez's early days of construction, the two recruited former UA member and fellow ally Master_Xybot, bringing him to Estevez to assist them with their construction; Master_Xybot worked feverishly, creating many new rooms and tunnels within the complex.
Over time, Estevez grew massive in size and magnitude, and new rooms and wings were being added weekly. To them, Estevez was seen as an aesthetic utility base: one that would contain every form of self-sufficiency possible whilst keeping up a dignified sense of aesthetics and grandiosity. In the midst of creating Estevez, the three began to talk more seriously about their clan; at this time, the clan did not have a name, nor did it have any true sense of purpose or goal. Simply put, they wanted to grow and expand, and would only announce themselves to the public when they felt ready to do so.
Struthio and Spawn-Related Endeavors
While working on Estevez, ostrich1414 located a new spot for another team base: Struthio. Located at the mouth of a river in a savannah biome, Struthio was a small town made exclusively out of acacia wood and stone brick. Wanting to create a town out of the little-used material, ostrich1414 took up the challenge, and began the project in October of 2017. Struthio was partially modeled after his own creation, Quinsigamond, due to its congestion and soaring towers, this time with a vibrant orange hue. Simultaneously, ostrich1414 and Porkington began to work on an assortment of villager farms nearby downtown Struthio: these included breeding farms, iron farms, and modes of villager transportation.
In late October - early November of 2017, the League began to focus on spawn-related projects to tighten their grasp on the spawn area and to connect with new players. Their first major spawn project was an ever-expanding city known as "Oberstein": located on an extreme hills biome, Oberstein consisted of stone brick structures using Imperial Architecture as a guideline. Porkington, using his alt The_Fulgurator, and ostrich1414, using his alt OstrichsGayAlt, along with Master_Xybot, worked quickly on Oberstein, constructing as many as five buildings per hour. This base was created in the aftermath of the annual spawn map, released in mid November, in the hopes that it would stand out on the next released map.
