Fort Gillamore

Fort Gillamore is an abandoned settlement off the southern coast of the northwestern continent, about a thousand blocks directly south of Duskenspur. It is unknown by whom and for what the fort was built. It is rumoured that the fort was once inhabited by the gods of Alathra, although these claims are unsubstantiated.

Fort Gillamore has been claimed (and abandoned) by several nations, including the former nation of Mausia and the Free Cities of Alathra. On June 8, 2021, the fort was subject to a small dispute between the Alathran Independent Press and the FCA. Zaktoslph of the AIP had claimed the fort as its HQ and founded a town, unaware of the FCA's claims. After a round of negotiations with Prime Minister spiceymonkey1349, the AIP unclaimed the fort and relocated.

NoTown and the Age of the Gods
On November 19th, 2020, ThePit_ founded the city of NoTown, creating Fort Gillamore. Around this time, it is believed that one of the gods of Alathra, Zedd, assisted with the construction of the fort using a human guise. Regardless, Fort Gillamore soon expanded into a bustling city-center, complete with a blacksmith, armory, bookstore, church, and town hall. ThePit_ and Zedd are responsible for much of the current buildings as they are seen today.

Between March and April 2021, ThePit_ abandoned Fort Gillamore, leaving NoTown to go bankrupt and thus become dissolved.

Abandonment
From April to May 2021, Fort Gillamore remained abandoned, falling prey to looters. During this time, many of the buildings deteriorated from the ransacking as well as from the passage of time.

Mausia
On May 21, 2021, TNT_Shooter42 founded the town of Mausia, taking up residence on a nearby iceburg and claiming Fort Gillamore as a potential expansion area. However, on May 31, Mausia failed to pay its upkeep, and thus was also dissolved.

The FCA and the AIP
After Mausia's downfall, the Free Cities of Alathra tentatively considered annexing Fort Gillamore as a southern outpost. However, these plans were complicated when the Alathran Independent Press, also noting Mausia's downfall, decided to set up their headquarters there. After tense negotiations between Head Scribe Zaktoslph and Prime Minister spiceymonkey1349, the AIP decided to move their headquarters elsewhere, leaving Fort Gillamore abandoned once again.
