Slavongrad

Overview
Slavongrad was a city-state founded on an island to the south of New Ashina City. Although it was initially independent as an ally of the Ashina Empire, it fell into disgrace and was ultimately absorbed into the Ashina Empire after the actions of OnlySolid and LordMonkey1 tarnished its reputation.

Founding and the Lothridge-Ashina War
In early May 2021, OnlySolid (also known as Pope Septon OnlySolid), a devout follower of slavon_500, founded the town of Slavongrad on an island which belonged to the Ashina Empire, just south of New Ashina City. Angry at OnlySolid's encroachment, the people of Ashina wished to evict him from their territory, but were already preocupied with the threat of Grandpa_Boob and Lothridge in the days leading up to the Lothridge-Ashina war. Using this situation to his advantage, OnlySolid pledged to provide material support for the then-fledgeling Ashina Empire in exchange for being granted the island. Reluctantly, Emperor KnightOfNotch agreed.

Lothridge-Ashina War
During the war, Slavongrad faithfully provided supplies for the Ashina-led coalition. However, unbeknownst to their allies, OnlySolid and his men were obtaining these supplies in a dark ritual known only as "duping," which his right-hand man, LordMonkey1, had learned from a Senza-Nome aristocrat named RaptorJ6. Duping was well-known to be against the sacred laws of Alathra, for it upset the fundamental balance of nature, but tempted by the prospect of infinite wealth, LordMonkey1 and OnlySolid continued to perform these sacrileges against Alathra. Once Lothridge was defeated, Ashina's amazement at Senza-Nome and Slavongrad's wealth soon turned to suspicion, and the leaders of Ashina and Senza-Nome met in secret to discuss the unusual amount of supplies that RaptorJ6 and LordMonkey1 had provided. Realizing that RaptorJ6 was guilty of performing these rituals, Ahsina quietly moved to banish RaptorJ6 from Alathra. Sensing that Ashina was closing in on him, RaptorJ6 attempted to summon a dark being to defend himself, but in an accident during the ritual, he disappeared for a time from the face of Alathra. Realizing that they would be next, OnlySolid and LordMonkey1 decided to lay low with their ill-gotten wealth, at least until suspicion died down.

The Bandits of the West
Starting on May 18 until May 26, several locations were raided by an anonymous group known only as the Bandits of the West. Slavongrad, WinterHallow, and Senza-Nome were among the targets of these bandits. However, the bandits' identities were soon revealed as Dizze, EmptyCerealBowl, ayencha, and SoyaToya, and by May 26 they were promptly executed and banished from the lands. However, LordMonkey1, a prominent member of Slavongrad, was found to be pretending to be a bandit, likely attempting a sting operation to learn their identities. Unfortunately, most other players viewed this as collaborating with the terrorists, straining relations between Slavongrad and the rest of Alathra.

Rising Suspicions
In the days leading up to Slavongrad's downfall, LordMonkey1 and OnlySolid continued to perform duping rituals, becoming ever more wealthy through their nefarious rituals. No longer fearing repercussions, LordMonkey1 became increasingly reckless with his wealth, lavishing the citizens of Alathra with increasingly outrageous gifts. In one instance, he loaned over $30,000 to the new town of Evergreen and placed End Crystals all around the property. Predictably, this behavior caught the attention of the top leaders of Alathra, and they soon launched an investigation into LordMonkey1's unusual wealth.

Downfall
Around May 29, OnlySolid was found to be guilty of breaking server rules, specifically duplicating, and was banned from the server. Furious, OnlySolid flew into a rage and threatened to dox one of the admins. Once SlavonGrad disbanded and the land rights reverted to their true and rightful owners, all of Alathra gathered to demolish the former town together. A new chapter begins here as San Juacoco is being built.
