History

Lore

Ancient

Around 4,000 B.C, the Taigs had a civilization that lived in the area that is now Cattington, or Cattingtonia as historians call the geographic region that now contains Cattington and surrounding towns. They lived in settlements with the buildings carved into the numerous hills. They had both plant and animal agriculture. Also they had bronze age technology and traded with the people as far as what is now the NE Circle Line. We don't know much else about these people except that in 1,000 B.C, some people called the Irasiras came and colonized Taigia. All that we know is that they were deeply religious, built a mission near several key Taig settlements to convert them to an unknown religion, brought new technology like the wheel and iron tools, came from past The Northern Ocean, and were minor raiders. The two cultures merged with the Irasiras ruling the Taigs. All we know what happened next was that together, the Irasaigs as we have called this merged people established mission settlements as far as present-day Miasto. Eventually the Irasaig Empire fell because of some unknown reason.

The Establishment of the Kingdom of Cattington

In the late 1500s to the early 1600s, only a few explorers had passed through Cattingtonia, about four of these explorers decided to live in the land of Cattingtonia. By 1690, the mixed-blood descendants of the native Cattingtonians and the these explorers that settled the area founded a kingdom ruled by the Mycoflor Dynasty.

So begins a list of past monarchs of the Kingdom of Cattington.

Historian's note: I would like to give credit to kiwirainbow, the former owner of the Mason City Wiki page, as my own lore monarch list's format is slightly based off his own.

Mycoflor Dynasty

In 1690, the then-paramount chief of the native people in Cattingtonia became a king in what is known as the Proclamation of 1690, which also created the Kingdom of Cattington. This king was called Bolet Mushet the Warrior, mainly because he rapidly conquered other kingdoms and rapidly expanded the Kingdom of Cattington, often it was he who led the attacks on neighboring kingdoms himself. It was during an attack on what is now Whitechapel that he died in battle. This custom would be repeated by his descendent, Amanit Mushet III.

Reigned:1798-1819

Ore Dynasty

The last ruler of the Mycoflor Dynasty, Queen Lepiot Mushet IV, learned of the tensions between the Kingdom of Cattington and early Vegeta, it's neighbor. Therefore, she divorced her husband and remarried a prince from Vegeta to attempt to make peace. This was in vain, soon Vegata fought Cattington and defeated Cattington, Queen Lepiot then resigned from power and fled Cattington. The new Ore Dynasty monarchs from Vegeta married Cattington nobles to show that they were on good terms with their new vassal (subject state). Due to wars and kind of resigned nature of the Ore Dynasty, the Kingdom of Cattington lost all but it's closest colonies. Given the previous factors, this dynasty also heard the Cattingtonian Enlightenment’s call for more rights, equality under the law, and the abolition of the quasi-feudal system that previously governed the country since it’s founding a little over 100 years prior.

Cat Dynasty

Although the Vegetan Ore Dynasty tried it's best to stay on good terms with it's Cattingtonian subjects, and did introduce the concept of rights to the people of Cattington, many did not appreciate being controlled by a royal family that didn't even originate in Cattington. So through tense, yet overall peaceful negotiations, the Vegetans gave Cattington it's independence back. The Cat Dynasty then came to power, being distantly related to the Mycoflor Dynasty of old. The Cat Dynasty brought a higher regard to the rights of it's people, making the Kingdom of Cattington more free. However, Cattington gave up it's remaining colonies save for the Lanayru Isles (colonized in 1740s, with a gradual installation of an autonomous and democratic government being fully completed by the 1970s), which became the kingdom’s only overseas territory to attain this happy state. The Cat Dynasty is the currently ruling dynasty of the Kingdom of Cattington.

Real

Cattington has its roots with Purrcat2010 claiming T44 in mid-October on the same day the MRT Taiga Line Extension opened to claiming. The first build in Cattington was the town hall. Soon, Cattington became Councillor, with that came Purrcat2010's towns declaring independence from the MRT as the Lordom of Cattington. LithiuMirnuriX was soon chosen as Deputy Mayor, a role that they would also obtain in Miasto. In short order, Cattington got Mayor. It is currently going for [Senator] and has submitted two promotion requests that were horribly rejected, Cattington is currently almost done following the feedback given by the staff in the City Rank Feedback Sheets before it will submit a third promotion request.

Districts

This section lists and describes all the current and planned districts in Cattington in order they were thought of. In the streets list, two hyphens represent B-roads and (though there aren't and most likely never will be in Cattington) three hyphens A-roads.

Central

Central district is the district closest to T44 in Cattington. It contains some of the oldest builds in Cattington, such as the old town hall. This district also contains the main headquarters of Malachite Group. It goes all the way to just past the Ignos Crater Geological Research Center and Camp Cat Peak Cattington Armed Forces installation. Streets Include:

--Main Street (B813) (extends into Demeter, Wolf Peak, and Diamond Ravine)

-Curie Street

-Darwin Road (extends into Wolf Peak)

-Einstein Street

-Newton Avenue (extends into Demeter)

-Station Way

Wolf Peak

Wolf Peak was merged with Cattington in the November 2017 GSM. It is now a district of Cattington. The B813 was built a while ago to connect this district with the rest of Cattington. The CTA Moon Line and the CTA Sun Line serve the district. There was a time that Toth_1, then known as Purrcat2010, was planning an A-road called A10 to connect the A1 to Epsilon. It would've been easily one of the longest highways and one of the first to be built to the at the time new Epsilon world expansion. He then cut it down to an A90 Extenstion, even contacting the road's owner about perms for it. However, Purrcat/Toth never got around to, so after a while, the extension was canceled just like the A10 after the A92 was approved and built, rendering both ideas redundant. It will also be home to a spleef arena (yes, we have one now, but not in Wolf Peak), an airfield (no, there is already a major airport in the area), and when Purrcat2010 gets Governor, an airport (no, same reasoning as not wanting an airfield), which will be an upgrade of the airfield. It is home to one of the two state parks in Cattington, Klymene Pond State Park, centered around the pond of the same name.

--Main Street (B813) (extends into Demeter, Central, and Diamond Ravine)

-Darwin Road (extends into Central)

-Lake Circle

-Ninja Avenue (extends into Northson)

Northson

Originally, Northson was going to be much larger and more planned, but this isn't the case due to the hilly terrain that is fairly common in Cattington (still pretty large, though). It is a mixed district, containing both residential and commercial developments. It is where the spleef arena and the observatory are located, to name the two notable locations in said district. Streets include:

-Asminah Street

-Celestial Road (extends into Diamond Ravine)

-Ninja Avenue (extends into Wolf Peak)

Demeter

This is Cattington's agricultural district, with farms as the main kind of development in the area obviously. In fact, all but one build (excluding infrastructure) in this district are farms. This build is a farmhouse. Streets Include:

-Demeter Road (extends into Wolf Peak)

--Main Street (B813) (extends into Central, Wolf Peak, and Diamond Ravine)

-Newton Avenue (extends into Central)

Diamond Ravine

It is designed to recreate the feel of a rural village but still will be integrated into Cattington. This is where the Pablo Picasso Elytraport is located, making it pretty noteworthy in terms of transport. In other words, it will be a suburb town of Cattington, similar to Wolf Peak both in role and lore terms.

-Celestial Road (extends into Northson)

--Main Street (B813)(extends into Demeter, Central, and Wolf Peak)

The Wilds

Although this isn't an official district (officially, it is part of Northson and Demeter). This completely undeveloped save for Goron Hills State Park and the Kingdom of Cattington/Larkspur border crossing, however, is so vast that it warrants a sub-section in it's own right. it is located in the northeastern part of Cattington.

Travel Directions

All directions are the shortest route to Cattington and all start at the New World’s Spawnpoint.

Rail

Estimated Travel Time: 40 minutes

This is the least complicated directions in this list. From Spawn, ride the Zephyr Line northbound one stop to Central City NW. Transfer to the Taiga Line, ride it outbound 44 stations to Cattington (For reference, the station code is T44). That is it. If you get to Willow, then you have gone too far.

Road

Estimated Travel Time: 11 minutes

From Spawn, drive in a general westerly direction and follow signs and/or look at the Dynmap for A8. Once you found A8, follow it until you get to A89. Take A89 to it’s end. Once you get to this point, you will find A92, take it westbound and follow signs for B846, take the appropriate exit or just drive around Larkspur until you find it (it should not be hard to find since it is well signed). Either way, take the B846 south into Cattington. If you see a wooden border control station, the orange marker line of said border, and/or the sudden road material change, you are on the right track. Next, go onto B813, which should not be hard to find because you just continue straight in order to go onto said road. Eventually, the skyscrapers and soon enough, other buildings will come into view. You have arrived at your destination, for your mass transit needs, the CTA Cattington Monorail is fairly extensive, the closest station to where you should be at the end of this set of directions is the station near Newton Square.

Air

Estimated Travel Time: 8 minutes

Just fly with an elytra Northwest following the Taiga Line until you come to Cattington, where you can land at the elytra port. Alternatively, come into Larkspur on one of the numerous flights that serve said airport.
