== The Spiral Downwards ==

 

 

Resuming where stopped, Dank, stuck in the ways of collectivism, borrowed materials from neighbors in the village to create a house near the Hightide Castle, and began to reach out to people in his community to get to know the area. The first person he came to know was Cody2979, the then-ruler of the [[Free Cities of Alathra]] and mayor of Hightide. Cody introduced him to the local culture, which Dankonia promptly dismissed, and the local storage, which Dankonia promptly took notice of. Then, when Cody then took a leave of absence for nearly a week the next day, Dank used nearly half of all the wood and ore stores which the town had saved up. Upon his return, Cody told Dank of the punishments which would occur if he was to repeatedly steal from neighbors and the treasury, with confiscation being the least of the actions. Cody also told Dank that the materials he wished for building could be found across Arith and purchased with money if collected, and so Dank set off to create money.

 

However that was achieved, Dankonia did not know, but shortly after, he was sure that it could not be found in Hightide, as icebergs did not contain anything at all except food (from personal experience). Traveling across Arith in search of a higher source of money, he stumbled into a tavern where he heard that gold could be found in higher quantities in mesa formations. Conversing with Cody shortly after hearing this, he agreed that he would depart from Arith, Hightide, and the F.C.A., taking all of his possessions, and relocate to the mesa region in [[Acquendavia]] claims. This, he agreed, would disassociate him from the F.C.A., but on a personal note would also force him into a slaving, tireless search for safety in an uncomfortable climate. And, only for the sake of the source of life: money - a cause which he already found ridiculous. Dank departed by nightfall, taking few personal affects with him, and established a settlement on the Southwestern [[Prospit]] Mesa known to locals as Adavvit. Upon returning to vacate the rest of his possessions, however, he found his home to be gone. It was found that the day before, soon after Dank left, Cody had instructed the town to tear down his house, claiming most of its possessions for the treasury of Hightide. Dankonia sank to his knees at the sight of a small crater and wept. How could Cody, a man with everything, rob a man who is so devoid of possession and take what little possessions he had? What was the purpose? What could the materials Dank had used and collected mean to a figurehead? Dankonia, now Begrudged, figured Cody to be a tyrant, a floundering leader with corrupt motives and petty attitude, and silently took his leave, wishing to one day burn down the crown jewel of what was a flatulent ruler.

 

''In between the first begrudging of Dankonia and the second, he began to build his settlement in Prospit slowly but surely. Starting out with a single claim, a chunk, he eventually expanded to a twenty-five by 25 chunk claim. On the edges, wooden platforms were braced with fence posts to the ground, and the platform hovered nearly twenty blocks over the ground, while the center pieces sported stone, a grassy knoll, and rose to a point on which a complex gazebo containing the port sat. This gazebo sprouted limbs, if you will, which led to above ground buildings on the stone, one of which became Dank's home where he distilled beer as a hobby.''

 

''The ruins of Adavvit can still be found today, located two hundred blocks north of the former capital of Acquendavia.''

 

This will be filled out soon.
