Épinette-sur-quès was a French settlement from Minecraft Attack inhabited by jusipat, Kjolt947 and bcfoss. It was located on the shore of a taiga biome after whose trees it was named. Its slow yet steady expansion was brought to a halt when it was burnt and ransacked during The Calamity, and no attempt was made to resettle. The former province of Sableterre, which emerged from the war largely unscathed went on to succeed Épinette following the Calamity.
Foundation of Épinette-sur-quès
Épinette-sur-quès was founded by players jusipat and Kjolt947 on the first day of the server. bcfoss joined soon after, eventually establishing the province of Sableterre. The first settlement would be a hovel dug into a small hill, with farms and a small motte-and-bailey fort built in medieval fashion by jusipat added later.
Épinette-sur-quès Expansion
Following the contstruction of the motte-and-bailey by jusipat, Kjolt947 began to build a home nearby. jusipat would go on to create numerous other buildings, such as an innhouse and smithy. The town was surrounded by an unlit radius of dense trees and berry bushes, rendering the approach inhospitable. This defense was further augmented by a small wall built along a naturally occuring valley dip outside of the town limits.
Diplomacy
Épinette-sur-quès was one of the first established nations in the server, and it engaged in diplomacy middlingly with other powers at the time of its early formation. Épinette-sur-quès at this time entered in diplomacy with most nations of the world, including the growing power of Shanbao as well as engaging in economic negotiations over coal acquisition with Old Japan. Épinette-sur-quès was not militarily renowed at this time, nor was it economically significant. Mainland Épinette under the direction of jusipat would grow to become an insular state before the growth of Sableterre and the events of The Calamity.
Language of Épinette-sur-quès at-home and abroad
In diplomacy, Épinette-sur-quès' envoys communicated in French towards the Chinese and Japanese nations, with no residents of Épinette-sur-quès commanding a sufficient level of Chinese nor Japanese to properly communicate. The three eventual residents of Épinette-sur-quès would all speak French until the lifting of the English ban with varying degrees of success.
Geography
Épinette-sur-quès received its name from the surrounding dense spruce forest; "Épinette" in French. It was founded on the banks of the Quès Sea (La mer quès). Its English translation is "Spruce-on-quess".
