Melondeau

Melondeau is a location from Minecraft Attack initiated by Kjolt947. It was named after melons because they were the first crop to be grown in the settlement, later followed by wheat and potato. It is currently under rule of L'Empire de la Citroye, despite an offer to separate the two nations once again being made just before server activity slowed to a stop.

History

Formation

Following The Calamity, Melondeau was formed north of the ruins of Old Japan after the fall of Épinette-sur-quès. Kjolt947 took several melons from his previous home and they had served as his main food source until the nation expanded, hence the name.

Expansion

Slowly but surely, the nation was expanded with the construction of several buildings. These include a cactus farm, the melon factory, an underground sheep barn and a temple to Melondia. As it grew, however, its independence was brought to a close. Under threat of war, Melondeau reluctantly became a vassal of the larger nation L'Empire de la Citroye.

Relations

Overall, relations fluctuated with southern nations, but never to much of an extent compared to that of L'Empire. Despite mostly being beneficial, Kjolt947's opinion of its greater nation and its members was certainly shaky. Even during the Siege of the Gouffre, he had made negotiations in secrecy with enemy nations to fully ignore one another. Melondeau was a player of all sides and ultimately was able to avoid any significant conflict.

War was threatened numerous times by L'Empire when Melondeau began to erase its French culture and replace it with Chugga speek twice removed. While this never happened, it would have escalated into a disaster for Melondeau due to being outnumbered. When bcfoss ascended to godhood, he offered Kjolt947 hoglin spawn eggs and an enchanted stick with unfathomable knockback. This was to wage war against and take over L'Empire once and for all. This came at a great cost; a shrine of coal was to be built in Melondeau, which proved to be a monumental task. However, even as the shrine was complete, this potential conclusion to Season II would not come true before the server was shutdown.
