Niuhai

Niuhai (Chinese: 牛海) was one of the first bases established on the Fvonny's 5 server. It would go on join the People's Union and play an integral role during The Cow War.

History

Niuhai was established by Cflip_ on the first day of the server after he went on an extended expedition to find a remote location to live in. Initially, the location was kept secret and Cflip_ was the sole inhabitant of Niuhai.

Eventually, the location of Niuhai was made public and newcomers began to settle there. jusipat and Kjolt947 both built houses in Niuhai, both of which would be removed later on. Kjolt947's home in particular was one day demolished without his knowledge and all materials were packed away in a chest. Wikaros then used the newly freed up land to construct the great legendary Casa d'Starwarsfan, which served as a villager apartment complex.

Artwork made during the Niuhai-Kjolibope War illustrates the dire situation Niuhai had found itself in.

It was events like these that caused Kjolt947 to move away from Niuhai and establish his own base in a hidden cave, known as Kjolibope. He exacted revenge on Niuhai, which began the long and grueling Niuhai-Kjolibope War that left the nation in a devastated state for an extended period of time. The great Sea of Cows, after which Niuhai was named after, was reduced to a single cow, cutting off the nation's most valuable resource. The vulnerability of the cow pit was revealed, which prompted Cflip_ to move it underground beneath the town square following the war. The trying times caused the people living in Niuhai and beyond to unify into the People's Union, which was able to persevere through the war and emerge victorious. Kjolt947 changed his ways and joined the People's Union.

The newly built People's Union down the hill from Niuhai

Throughout the peacetime following the Niuhai-Kjolibope War, the focus of development shifted to the capital of the People's Union, just down the hill from the original location of Niuhai. Both Niuhai and the People's Union as a whole prospered during this time.

Geography

Niuhai is located within a forest which is surrounded by a river and a nearby jungle.

Structures

Sea of Cows

The Sea of Cows is the namesake of Niuhai and its major attraction. It was made to provide a source of leather for Cflip_'s enchanting bookshelves, and would continue to provide food. The cow pit was later relocated under Casa D'Starwarsfan, and during the late days of the server it was expanded back to its original location.

Due to fear of incoming attacks in Niuhai and nearby regions during the volatile period of the Niuhai-Kjolibope War, all of Niuhai's resources were either destroyed or relocated into the fort in Collinebourg. The cow pit was left with two cows, minimizing the chance of a plunderer getting free food while still leaving enough cows to repopulate the pit. After the raid in Casa D'Starwarsfan, Cflip_ discovered that only one cow remained in the pit.

The Cabin

After Niuhai had persevered through the ongoing wars with Kjolt and tundra_lord, Cflip_ decided to built a new cabin in an empty space next to the river. Although it was originally meant to just be an extra building, Cflip_ eventually moved in to the cabin.

Casa D'Starwarsfan

Casa D'Starwarsfan is a villager resort built in the centre of Niuhai during the days before the war with Kjolt. Casa D'Starwarsfan became the official name of Kjolt's home, but was originally dubbed as Town Hall (Level 9) by him, a reference to the popular mobile game Clash of Clans. The house was demolished and erased from Niuhai completely, leaving space for a new building.

Moving villagers into the complex was one of the most grueling tasks done on Fvonny's 5. Cflip_ put lots of effort into relocating villagers through the Nether to populate the building. At some point, a raid was started near the village and all of the doors were left open, leading to the death of all of Casa D'Starwarsfan's inhabitants.
