The beginning of a
new world, a new
adventure, new
dangers, and new
challenges for our
explorers. The icy
wind and deep snow
engulf them, will they survive? Time will tell...
6/15/24
-------------------
The first explorers to step foot in their new land were B-01 and AZ-02. Their first expedition as a team showed little promise in the beginning, seeing as the region they were placed in was miles of snow and ice. However, the team managed to scrounge
up enough food and resources to build a camp suitable for the explorers left to arrive. The rest slowly followed, forming The Charters:
> B-01
> AZ-02
> S-03
> SB-04
> GN-05
6/16/24 > 6/22/24
-------------------
The Charters made quick progress in building their new home. Many ventured out into the frosty fields to gather animals and plants. The spoils of their travels aided those who could not yet brave the journey. Many casualties were
occuring, namely due to the staggered terrain and vicious monsters, but the explorers stood strong for each other when danger came close.
B-01 had a plan in mind for this new land. A grand library full of knowledge and entertainment...
This goal was difficult to achieve; the lack of any other fauna besides rabbits meant the process of obtaining the leather needed for book making was significantly hindered. Eventually, when other animals were retrieved from nearby regions, this task became easier.
SB-04 became a top resource gatherer: Exploring the depths of the expansive caverns for ores, researching mystical cages that summon monsters from thin air, even taming the creatures that roam the lands.
There in the deepest pits of the earth lies...The Ancient City.
AZ-02 and GN-05 struggled their way across the new landscape. GN-05 hoped partnering up with AZ-02 to enter into the caves would lead them to materials (or, even perhaps treasure?) needed in this vast empty tundra. Mustering up the courage to enter the eery mines, the
pair split off the path and began their journey down into the caverns, their spirits high and their pickaxes sharp.
S-03 was busy building her first home, utilizing the abundant spruce wood and stone. The fields of snow let loose many fierce monsters,
halting progress on multiple occasions. Slowly but surely the structure was completed. S-03 soon plans to begin a small society of those cast away from other civilizations, giving them a new home. This endeavor will likely be the biggest chore on this explorer's plate...
"A mysterious new face appeared one day...Not a member of The Charters, but an independent traveller. The others have dubbed the figure L-06, noting his location far away from the frosty landscape they have settled in. He seems to prefer the lush plains to the West." - B-01

-------------------
The settlers of the snow, also known as The Charters, have decided to begin a new project together. True to their nature, they have begun filling out maps of their region, even though most of it seems to be more of the same harsh cold.
Previously, it was known that an escape from the cold existed in the west, where the woods and plains lie. Through more expeditions however, more greener areas were soon discovered, offering many new resources. Most importantly, new types of wood were now available to them.
B-01 had decided to host a poll in the settlement to choose a name for their newly established home base. Among the suggestions were:
"Solstice Lands"
"Frostpeak"
and "Shiverville."
Winning the vote was the name "Shiverville", which later merged with "Frostpeak" to be:
❄ Shiverpeak ❄
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
> Biome: Snowy Plains
> Residents: 5
> Flag: White
> Structures: 8
This quaint snowy settlement is located in the world's "center" as The Charters refer to it.
AZ-02 has constructed a new house to live in, donating their former home to the outcast residents who previously lived within B-01's library as assistants. They have chosen new careers as a farmer and cartographer duo, aiding the explorers greatly.
While SN-04's use of the mystical cages was highly effective in bringing experience to the explorers, B-01 felt she could improve upon the idea. As luck would have it, there happened to be another cage of the same type just near her home. With AZ-02's help, the pair got to work to gather the
needed materials. One item in particular would be rather difficult to obtain: cobwebs, and a lot of them at that. There are many locations to check for stray webs, as shown from the explorers' extensive research. One method in particular seemed feasible, but complicated...
This method would involve opening a portal to an entirely different dimension, one that is highly dangerous if not navigated carefully. This dimension dubbed the "Nether" was said to be filled with flames and lava, highly volatile terrain, and terribly hostile monsters. However...
The land is also said to hold a magical "ingredient" used by the ancient people to brew many types of potions for many different situations. One potion recipe would help B-01 achieve her goal:

"Potion of Weaving"

-------------------
The explorer duo B-01 and AZ-02 have begun work on the structure that will use the mystical cage as a power source. the quest to get the Potion of Weaving has brought them to the treacherous Nether dimension to barter with its natives. They
seem to use similar resources to those of the overworld such as leather, and crossbows with arrows. The Nether also appears to be home to a few creatures seen regularly at night, like skeletons and the mysterious enderman.
The natives are quite fond of golden items
and will trade ingots of gold for their own valuables. These fascinating creatures have been called "Piglins" for their pig-like appearance.
The duo soon discovered that the inhabitants were not kind to strangers from the overworld...
Skeletons pelted them with arrows from all sides, the zombified piglins grew furious at the accidental attacking of their own by B-01, and highly dangerous "Ghasts," as they've been dubbed, bombarded the explorers with fireballs. Upon further research,
Ghasts are giant squid-like creatures with the ability to fly like a spectre, most likely where its name originates from. The explorer duo barely escaped with their lives, but eventually got back to their own dimension with a few spoils to show. Sometime after the first Nether expedition, AZ-02 decided to build a protective structure around the portal to ward off the monsters.
Back in the overworld, B-01 got back to work around Shiverpeak; landscaping, farming, and mapping. On impulse, she decided to invite AZ-02 to a mining trip into one of the unexplored caverns in the northwest. Poorly prepared, the two of them made their way to the cavern's entrance, passing an igloo invested with silverfish on the way. The cavern went deep
into the earth, almost too deep to see the end. The never ending darkness made it difficult to navigate the space, but in the end, many valuable resources were gathered and taken home.
The camp outside of the cavern entrance was later marked on the library's map.

-------------------
AZ-02 had much determination to create a more lively settlement for their neighbors. An idea was popped into AZ-02's mind: it's time to create a larger homestead for new upcoming villagers, expanding a bigger trading system onto Shiverpeak.
Countless hours poured into this cozy home, yet trouble arose in the process of this building. One particular day, AZ-02 came back from their expedition of chopping down trees to finish up the walls. AZ-02 came across a group of wayward vandals, known by other settlements as
ruthless thieves and destroyers of homes. They wield crossbows and tend to show up in teams of 3-6, looking to scope out their next target. AZ-02 had to take them out before continuing their endeavors, which proved to be a challenge as they were overpowered at least once. In the end,
AZ-02 had managed to finish their project, providing a new home for more residents to come.
The explorers of The Charters had decided to take a break from travelling for a small time, enjoying the life they had built in the snowy alps.
While it was a mostly peaceful life, B-01 had grown just a bit...restless. She yearned to engage in combat to get stronger. With this newfound vigor, B-01 began to construct a sort of training area within Shiverpeak, complete with sword and archery training sections.
In a few short hours, the construction of the training camp had concluded, with a few rounds of archery in between finishing.
Once the training area was completed, B-01 invited AZ-02 and SB-04 to join her for a sparring match. The three explorers had a good time matching their strengths.
B-01 had experience in treasure hunting, battling through monsters and jagged terrain to reach the rarest items she could carry home. However, something in particular had caught her eye on this day. It was...a musical disc? In a dungeon like this? Many questions, but no answers...
After this find, B-01 began to wonder, are there more discs to be found in other locations? Scouting out dungeons would be a difficult task seeing as the first one was hard enough to find underground. And then, something... peculiar happened. As she was jaunting about the snowscapes
of her home, a odd situation occurred. Just as a skeleton had fired its arrow at her, it hit a lowly creeper by accident, ending its life. The strangest part was, upon death, the creeper had dropped another musical disc! What a strange and yet mystical anomaly! She had to know more!
Recreating the situation produced another disc, a different colored one from the other two. A marvelous discovery, but how many discs could B-01 obtain from this method? That's when an idea sparked into her mind: gather as many creepers as possible for a skeleton to slay.
B-01 got to work, creating a structure in the same place as the mystical cage contraption. A trap for the creepers, a holding chamber for a single skeleton, and the structure was complete. Now, all B-01 had to do was lure was unsuspecting creepers into the trap, with the help of- AZ-02 as well. Soon enough, the two were collecting disc after disc, and finally, fully completing their collection...
...right?

===================
"Hello, I am Sa-, I mean, SB-04. B-01 told me I should write a passage on this book. I am not a writer, I am a researcher, so I will not dramatise my adventures or lack thereof.
For the past few weeks I have been busy with my own per-
sonal affairs, I've started a horse breeding program and intend to settle a research facility a little further from town in the future. But that's in the future, right now I do have an adventure to talk about. You see, I went on an exploration mission in the Nether today. Such inhospita-
ble hellscape must have something of value, last week I did venture upon a curious area, it was covered in a thick blue mycelium and the fruiting bodies were tall and rigid, kinda like the trunk of trees. Upon analysis I realized they're a type of fungi that grow in that place. Very cu-
rious, some type of overworld fungi also grow there. Anyways, today I've decided to venture further along into that warped forest. Walking past it I found myself in another desolate waste, to my right I did see another biome we had close to our portal, the ash filled basalt delta, but right
ahead of me, past a lava river, I saw what seemed like a forest but in red. Making my way over I noticed the organisms that made those forests are not too dissimilar to the blue warped forest, I named them the crimson bodies. I also found another animal wandering those areas. Similar to the
overworld pigs and the piglins, I dubbed them the hoglins. They are much more aggressive and dangerous than pigs, they got huge tusks and they will throw you into the air. However, slaying such beat yields tasty pork and their skin is thick enough to be able to extract leather from.
I couldn't extract much of the crimson because it was dangerous and i was aching to go back home... maybe one day I'll return there. meanwhile I have more tinkering and resource gathering to do. Hope this is good enough for a chapter. See you then!"
