The Simple Ones

This page has not been checked by a person.

It was drafted from archived sources by an automated pass, and may be incomplete or wrong — particularly on treaties, dates and who was involved. Correct it if you were there, or see everything awaiting review.

Wynncraft guild founded in February 2019 whose defection from Luna to Terra decided the war for the map in September 2019. Later a Horologium co-founder, half of the Empire of Nemract political union, a Valhalla and Vanir guild, and a smtn elf member.

The Simple Ones [ILQ] was created on 5 Feb 2019 by Goatylicious, Saethar, GrandAdmiralAce_ and _Infected_gaming, "as a way to find more people to play and have fun with"[1][2] — nine days before Luna formed. It joined Luna around the alliance's founding, though only its departure was documented.[3]

History

Founding and the Aetherius merger (2019)

Three days after it was founded, on 8 February 2019, the guild merged with XeraAndromeda's [Aeu] The Aetherius[1]. XeraAndromeda held the guild thereafter: the thread's roster of September 2020 gives her as owner under the title "Empress", GrandAdmiralAce_ as "Crown Prince" and chief, and four more officers as a "Parliament" of barons and baronesses[1]. The same roster claims membership of a "Wynnic Union community alliance"[4].

The defection that decided a war (2019)

The Simple Ones signed the Treaty of Ternaves on 6 Jul 2019 with Kingdom Foxes and ThisIsMurica, splitting the territory of the dissolved Celestial Tigers.[3] Two months later came its decisive act in the alliance wars of 2019: on 8 Sep 2019, mid-war, it defected from Luna to Terra — and Terra took control of the map the same day.[5] It then co-founded the Council of Canyon Kingdoms on 15 Sep 2019, staying to its 23 Nov collapse, and co-founded Horologium on 1 Dec 2019, which died with DiamondDeities' disbandment on 8 Jan 2020.[3]

The Empire of Nemract (2020-2021)

On 17 Aug 2020 The Simple Ones formed the Empire of Nemract, a political union with Mystic Woods later branded 'The Empire of Nemract | ILQ + Aeu', whose empress held court titles ('Empress of Nemract, Queen of Aphelion').[6] The union was last mentioned in August 2021; the two guilds never fought each other, and the union may have persisted quietly.[7] On 21 May 2021 ILQ signed the Treaty of Damask, under which Nefarious Ravens declared independence.[3]

The blocs (2021-2023)

The Simple Ones was a founding member of Valhalla on 11 May 2021 and followed it into Vanir.[3] At the start of Season 8 (autumn 2022) it joined the renamed 'Smtn else' — later smtn elf — remaining until the alliance's quiet end in mid-2023.[8]
