The Gragelplace was a nation established on the Overlords 2 server by Cflip_. It was the first of the forest nations, and served as the industrial center of the forest.

History

Establishment and Construction of the Old Town

On the first day of the server, Cflip_ took shelter in a silverfish-infested tower near spawn. Due to an ever growing swarm of silverfish, he abandoned the tower in the middle of the night and sought after a safe new location. Cflip_ eventually settled on a location on the edge of the oak forest near an open plain, and set up a small wooden cabin. This cabin was expanded upon over time, and eventually a large outer wall was constructed to keep out the deadly monsters of the night. Part of the cave in front of the cabin was built upwards and became the main central tower of the Gragelplace.

Creation of the Great Forest Alliance

Wikaros joined the server soon after and briefly set up in the wizard tower near the river. The Gragelplace and Wikaros maintained good relations during this time, since they both were inhabitants of the forest. Soon after Wikaros moved out of the wizard tower and created the nation of Fionnbryn, a conflict emerged between Karaz Wyr and The Family, so the Great Forest Alliance was created between The Gragelplace and Fionnbryn to protect against future conflicts.

The Space Program

Cflip_ decided the next goal for the Gragelplace should be to land on the Moon. A new iron factory was constructed in the Gragelplace to provide resources for both the space program and the Great Forest Alliance as a whole. The first moon launch occurred on the 30th year, but Cflip_ crashed on the surface of the moon and lost the rocket and space suit. The next lunar mission went much better with Cflip_ successfully landing on the lunar surface, establishing a very simple base, and obtaining desh and cheese from the caves on the moon.

The space program continued to make progress, with Wikaros and Kjolt947 also visiting the moon and expanding the base, and with Cflip_ visiting Mars.

Subjugation of The Gragelplace

Main article: Siege of Fionnbryn

At one point the Empire of Karaz Wyr decided it would conquer the nations of the forest, and attacked Fionnbryn in the Siege of Fionnbryn. Since Fionnbryn and the Gragelplace were allied, the Gragelplace was also attacked, however there was confusion between flufyking and Cflip_ on whether the Gragelplace was involved in the conflict or not. bcfoss arrived at the undefended Gragelplace and burned all of the wooden floors out of the buildings, with no resistance since Cflip_ was absent during this siege. After Fionnbryn and the empire made peace, Cflip_ refused to join the empire and had plans to attack from a hidden base, but decided against it and the next day the Gragelplace officially joined the empire.
