Stonehelm

Stonehelm is a fort/town that was the first location to be built on Gladcraft II. It was abandoned by its original owners, the Quatturvirate, and has now fallen under the protection of the Royal Ender State.

History
The town started out as a small village, which Gladrian, Kiben, Bio, and Lumber took over and made their base of operations. The four built up a large stock of resources, namely coal. Soon afterward, Kiben and Lumber became mostly inactive, leaving Gladrian and Bio to run the place. A set of walls and towers was partially constructed and the town expanded.

Stonehelm had a neighbor: the player ItsBilly. Soon after Billy joined the server, tensions grew between Stonehelm and its new neighboring settlement. Actual conflict started when Billy stole various resources from Gladrian and Bio as well as Gladrian's horse, named Flame of the West. In the horse's pen was left a note demanding a diamond block for the return of the horse. Irked, Gladrian instead searched Billy's house; unable to find his own horse, he stole Billy's horse and demanded a trade. Billy at first objected and attempted to chase Gladrian, but without a horse, the effort was futile. Having retrieved his horse, Gladrian made tentative peace with Billy. Billy also returned part of what he had stolen from Bio and Gladrian to them, claiming it was everything he had taken.

Bamdome, who was living nearby, had also been stolen from by Billy and asked Gladrian to build a war airship to take down their hostile neighbor. Gladrian agreed, wanting to help bring Billy into submission. The airship was planned to be built the next day, leaving time for the attack to be planned. However, Gladrian and Bio, in an effort to reclaim the stolen items that had still not been returned, spontaneously decided to jump straight to raiding Billy's settlement. They charged in, eliminating Billy and reclaiming the stolen items as well as some extra loot.

After these events, Billy returned once again a day later, all out destroying much of Stonehelm and stealing back resources. Realizing Stonehelm was lost, Bio and Gladrian returned to Billy's settlement one last time, raiding the chests and burning the place to the ground. After this, they abandoned Stonehelm and traveled through Gladrian's secret underground rail system to Dol Ardor, an outpost castle a fourth of a kilometer to the north.

Restoration
Some time in September, 2015, the Royal Ender State reclaimed the town of Stonehelm, which had been abandoned for several months. The town and walls were restored, although the location itself still remains uninhabited. Stonehelm was officially owned and maintained by Bio, ruler of the RES, until they handed it over to Gladrian. The town is still under RES protection and management until Gladrian begins playing survival, an event that rarely occurs.
