Maximus_Terragon (aka Maxy) is a member of the staff team and server admin. He is most known for hosting the server ship battles, his shipbuilding, and being Godsdead's secretary. He received the rank of housewright, moderator, and admin in 2017 in quick succession. In 2018 he was symbolically 'promoted' to be Godsy's secretary, requiring him to wear a short skirt during his duty. After Godsdead and Iamthereaper89 (upon his return), he is essentially third in command.

Server wise, he is the founder of the Xenon Empire, The Xanthian Order, and later Xenia - all reasonably established crews. Since becoming admin, he has retired from participating in server drama to focus more on moderation and development.

Overview

An avid builder, some of his most known structures are the Port of Xenia; one of the largest ports on the server, the Grand Ballroom; host of the Royal Elven Ball, and the Xenon Tower; one of the tallest towers on the server (was demolished in January 2018). He also has a large collection of ships, which can be visited at any time.

He is credited with the design and building of spawn, many of the server's ships at warps, rebuilding cove, hosting the server ship battles and building of the arena, designing and testing of the crates and their drops, creation of over half of the server's brews, creation of several new cannons and projectiles, hosting of the two BoTMs in 2018, the organisation of the staff team, as well as creating/developing the configs for many of the server's plugins including cannons, crates, xmas and halloween events, brewing, and chat messages.

History

Early Days

Maximus joined the server in early 2015, and soon after founded Port Terragon. Lego helped him out early on, lending resources and helping rid his port of pirates. He joined Red Lotus alongside Lego, before briefly joining the 0utlaws.

Maximus eventually settled in the newly founded Ottoman Empire, with Lego as its leader. His port was named the Ottoman capital. In July 2015, the annual Elven ball was held at the port, but turned into a bloodbath after the 0utlaws attacked.

Xenon Empire

He left the Ottoman Empire after a couple of months, before joining the Luteus Republic briefly, and eventually founding his own empire; the Xenon Empire. Once again he proclaimed his port the capital, and all nearby land under his control.

In late July 2015, the Verussian Empire annexed nearby Elven land, and subsequently became a neighbour to the Xenon Empire. Friction started when Verussian officials threatened to annex Xenon land, and turn Port Terragon into a colony. The Verussian Empire at the time also had issues with other nations in the League of Nations (back then named 'The Allied'). Maximus appeal to the League of Nations for help, and his empire was invited to join. Within a week, war was declared and the First Verussian War began.

The war ended after a couple of weeks with the surrender of the Verussians. The Xenon Empire gained a large amount of land, and Maximus saw to populate that land with new members. During this period the Xenon Empire grew rapidly reaching over 60 members. He hired Lord_Akley_VII as a butler and personal adviser, and renamed Port Terragon to the Port of Xenia.

Renewed troubles with the Verussian Empire led to the Cold War and subsequent arms race between many nations. The Xenon Tower was constructed during this period, as were more defences and walls around the port, hugely increasing its size. In early March 2016, war broke out once more and the Second Verussian War began. The war ended after a week.

The Xanthian Order

The Xenon Empire had become very inactive by mid 2016, with only Maximus and Lord Akley remaining. The decision was made in late 2016 to merge the Xenon Empire with the Templars, and later the Iborian Empire and Luteus Republic, thus creating The Xanthian Order. Maximus remained emperor of his original crew, but also declared himself Supreme Master of the new crew.

The crew later merged with the Elven Empire after Maximus 'married' Reptaria of the Elves. A low point in his career as he recounted. The merger was short lived, and the Elves became independent once more. By mid 2017, the crew had once more become inactive, and Maximus left in October 2017.

Xenia

Maximus, now a server admin, largely retired from server on-goings, focusing more on building a new port, moderation, event hosting, and configs. The old Port of Xenia was regened, and a new larger port was founded in the nearby bay aiming to be the largest port on the server. It is estimated to be completed by early 2020.

Additional Notes

Ship Battles

Although not the first to host a server-wide ship battle (that credit goes to Browe), he has popularised them and still hosts them. As of July 2018, he has hosted 15 battles, with overall large numbers of players participating. A new arena was constructed for the revival of ship battles, which was finished in August. Main page: Server Ship Battles.

Ships

Maximus is credited with designing the majority of ships the server sells at various warps. He has built over during his time on the server, selling most of his ships privately. Some of his latest ships are on display at his port, or can be seen in his plot on /hub. Ping him a message in-game if you want to visit.

Among his most prized possessions is the Phantom Sovereign; a historic pirate ship, The Raven; flagship of Raven Pirates, and XNS Centaurus; a historically accurate 74-gun ship of the line that can be sailed. All of his ships are denoted 'XNS', meaning 'Xenian Navy Ship'.

Server building projects

He joined the building team in secrecy in mid 2015, only revealing to be one of the main builders when he received the rank of housewright in early 2017. During his time as builder and eventually the build team leader, he has rebuilt cove, designed and built both spawn and the new ship battle arena, and is credited with designing many of the server's ships.

Previous Titles

Although he has retired from taking part in server conundrums and only builds and staffs, he has nevertheless acquired several titles over the years. These include:

Emperor of the Xenon Empire
Supreme Master of the Xanthian Order
Port Master of the Ottoman Empire
King of the Elves
Port Master of Xenia (current title)

+== Overview ==
-== Background (Lore) ==
+An avid builder, some of his most known structures are the [[Port of Xenia]]; one of the largest ports on the server, the [[Grand Ballroom]]; host of the Royal Elven Ball, and the [[Xenon Tower]]; one of the tallest towers on the server (was demolished in January 2018). He also has a large collection of ships, which can be visited at any time.
-'''Origins'''
-Maximus_Terragon was born as the only son of a poor family. His father was a librarian, while his mother was a maid, both working for Lord Akley VI, father of [[Lord_Akley_VII]]. Maximus' mother died soon after his birth, so he was raised by his father. When Maximus was young, his father went on a trip to the [[Elven Empire]] capital, [[Evermoor]]. The ship his father was on was attacked by pirates, and presumably captured. His father never returned home.
+He is credited with the design and building of spawn, many of the server's ships at warps, rebuilding cove, hosting the server ship battles and building of the arena, designing and testing of the crates and their drops, creation of over half of the server's brews, creation of several new cannons and projectiles, hosting of the two BoTMs in 2018, the organisation of the staff team, as well as creating/developing the configs for many of the server's plugins including cannons, crates, xmas and halloween events, brewing, and chat messages.
-Maximus was hired by a rich family, the Terragons, as a servant. The Terragons had made a fortune investing into the new mining industry in the Mesa biome, after [[Palmerageddon]]'s discovery of the riches located there. The Terragon's only son had recently been killed in a bar shooting at [[Port Hope]]. Maximus became like a second son to the Terragons, and adopted their name, to finally be known as Maximus_Terragon. They made him the heir to their fortune and their lands, and taught him how to wield a sword, even giving him their son's sword as a gift.
+== History ==
+'''Early Days'''
-However, the Terragons had been charged with tax evasion, and treason by the Lord for unknown reasons. They were both imprisoned for treason, and both eventually died due to poor treatment. Maximus_Terragon managed to avoid being imprisoned, but was nevertheless sent into exile, and his fortune was confiscated.
+Maximus joined the server in early 2015, and soon after founded [[Port Terragon]]. [[Lego]] helped him out early on, lending resources and helping rid his port of pirates. He joined [[Red Lotus]] alongside Lego, before briefly joining the [[0utlaws]].
-After his fortune was confiscated by Lord Akley VI, he made money by hunting various people for bounties including Icebear89, [[WilsonManzer]], and SirHayden. Whilst in a [[British Empire]] pub, he heard news that Lord Akley VI had died of an illness, and that his son, [[Lord_Akley_VII]] had taken his place.
+Maximus eventually settled in the newly founded [[Ottoman Empire]], with Lego as its leader. His port was named the Ottoman capital. In July 2015, the annual Elven ball was held at the port, but turned into a bloodbath after the [[0utlaws]] attacked.
-He returned to the land the Terragons once owned, and immediately went to meet the new Lord. Akley apologised for his father's deeds, and returned all money and possessions that rightfully belonged to Maximus. However, this also made the new Lord bankrupt as his late father had relied on the confiscated fortune from rich families to survive. Akley, now a broken man left the land in a ship in search of a new start.
+'''Xenon Empire'''
-'''The start of the Port of Xenia'''
+He left the [[Ottoman Empire]] after a couple of months, before joining the [[Luteus Republic]] briefly, and eventually founding his own empire; the [[Xenon Empire]]. Once again he proclaimed his port the capital, and all nearby land under his control.
-On the ruins of the Terragon family mansion along the coast, Maximus founded Port Terragon (now the [[Port of Xenia]]). Starting with just a few houses, Port Terragon grew quickly. It caught the interest of [[Lego]], then a member of [[Red Lotus]]. Lego became friends with Maximus, and he too joined Red Lotus for a brief period of time before joining the [[0utlaws]], until Lego created his own crew; the [[Ottoman Empire]].
+In late July 2015, the [[Verussian Empire]] annexed nearby Elven land, and subsequently became a neighbour to the [[Xenon Empire]]. Friction started when Verussian officials threatened to annex Xenon land, and turn Port Terragon into a colony. The Verussian Empire at the time also had issues with other nations in the [[League of Nations]] (back then named 'The Allied'). Maximus appeal to the League of Nations for help, and his empire was invited to join. Within a week, war was declared and the [[First Verussian War]] began.
-Maximus_Terragon left Red Lotus, and joined the Ottoman Empire, with  Port Terragon becoming the capital. It was during this period where the construction of the first  [[Grand Ballroom]] began and was completed in time for the July Elven Ball. Members of the Elven Empire, British Empire, and Ottoman Empire were invited to the ball, however it soon turned into a bloodbath after the [[0utlaws]] turned up.
+The war ended after a couple of weeks with the surrender of the Verussians. The Xenon Empire gained a large amount of land, and Maximus saw to populate that land with new members. During this period the Xenon Empire grew rapidly reaching over 60 members. He hired Lord_Akley_VII as a butler and personal adviser, and renamed Port Terragon to the Port of Xenia.
-In early August 2015, Maximus left the crumbling remains of the Ottoman Empire, and joined the [[Luteus Republic]]. Port Terragon was once again made the capital, and the Luteus Republic experienced a boom in economic growth.
-'''The start of the Xenon Empire'''
+Renewed troubles with the Verussian Empire led to the [[Cold War]] and subsequent arms race between many nations. The [[Xenon Tower]] was constructed during this period, as were more defences and walls around the port, hugely increasing its size. In early March 2016, war broke out once more and the [[Second Verussian War]] began. The war ended after a week.
-Eager to create his own empire, he finally created his own crew; the [[Xenon Empire]], and made Port Terragon the capital. A few weeks later, Maximus was on an expedition along the shores of his Empire, and found [[Thymen]] along with 6 other Dutch sailors washed up. Maximus took them in, cared for them, gave them land. A few weeks later, a small cargo ship arrived in Port Terragon selling much needed stone. Maximus went to buy some, and stumbled across the owner of the ship; [[Lord_Akley_VII]]. Grateful to see him again, Maximus offered Akley a place by his side, as his personal assistant. Akley accepted, and Maximus reinstated his Lordship, and giving him some land to build. Both Akley and Thymen became loyal friends of Maximus.
+'''The Xanthian Order'''
-In December 2016, the Grand Ballroom burnt down due to unknown causes, and a newer, larger version was planned. Both Maximus and Thymen started building their vaults, creating more armour, and forging their personal swords.
+The Xenon Empire had become very inactive by mid 2016, with only Maximus and Lord Akley remaining. The decision was made in late 2016 to merge the Xenon Empire with the [[Templars]], and later the [[Iborian Empire]] and [[Luteus Republic]], thus creating [[The Xanthian Order]]. Maximus remained emperor of his original crew, but also declared himself Supreme Master of the new crew.
-The Xenon Empire was allowed to join the [[League of Nations]], and soon a war broke out between the [[Verussian Empire]] and the rest of the LoN. The LoN triumphed and the war was over. In January 2016 Maximus was allowed to join the [[Federated Nations Alliance]], considered a sort of 'rival' to the LoN. Rumours of new superweapons being built by the FNA worried the LoN, and Maximus started construction of the [[Xenon Tower]]. A few weeks later, the [[Second Verussian War]] broke out. After a week of fighting, Maximus killed the Verussian Emperor; [[KingRS]] and subsequently VE surrendered.
+The crew later merged with the [[Elven Empire]] after Maximus 'married' [[Reptaria]] of the Elves. A low point in his career as he recounted. The merger was short lived, and the Elves became independent once more. By mid 2017, the crew had once more become inactive, and Maximus left in October 2017.
-After the wars, things slowed down in the Xenon Empire and Maximus focused solely on building his port. Port Terragon was entered into the [[April 2016 BOTM]], whereby it reached 4th place. In August 2016, he renamed Port Terragon to the [[Port of Xenia]]. Eventually, the port grew to a tremendous size becoming one of the largest and grandest ports on the server. However, by then the Xenon Empire had become a two-man crew. Only its emperor, Maximus, and his loyal assistant Lord_Akley_VII remained.
+'''Xenia'''
-'''The start of The Xanthian Order'''
+Maximus, now a server admin, largely retired from server on-goings, focusing more on building a new port, moderation, event hosting, and configs. The old [[Port of Xenia]] was regened, and a new larger port was founded in the nearby bay aiming to be the largest port on the server. It is estimated to be completed by early 2020.
-In September 2016, Maximus abdicated as emperor. In October, he started negotiations with the [[Templars]] leader [[Chailey]] about a possible merging of their two crews. The two agreed to merge, and [[The Xanthian Order]] was created. The [[Iborian Empire]] and [[Luteus Republic]] both joined the new Order. Maximus made Thymen the new King of Xenia, while Maximus was now the Supreme Master of the Xanthian Order. In December, The Xanthian Order joined the [[Commonwealth of Nations]].
+== Additional Notes ==
+'''Ship Battles'''
-In March of 2017, Maximus married Queen Reptaria of the Elves, becoming the 7th and last king of the old Elven Empire. The diplomatic marriage enabled the Elven Empire to merge into TXO; becoming the largest crew on the server. The Elven Empire was disbanded in the process. After some disagreements on leadership, it was agreed that the [[Elven Empire]] was to be recreated as a kingdom under TXO, and the two crews de-merged.
+Although not the first to host a server-wide ship battle (that credit goes to [[Browe]]), he has popularised them and still hosts them. As of July 2018, he has hosted 15 battles, with overall large numbers of players participating. A new arena was constructed for the revival of ship battles, which was finished in August. Main page: [[Server Ship Battles]].
-By July of 2018, TXO had become an increasingly inactive crew, and plans were drawn up to dissolve it into its kingdoms. The remaining kings of the respective kingdoms had largely vanished, and even the commonwealth of nations was falling apart. In october that year, plans were finalized and TXO dissolved into its 4, kingdoms; Xenon (renamed Xenia), Templar, Iboria, and Luteus. Following the demerger the kingdom of Luteus fell into disarray and its king, Icanra, abdicated. Templars fell apart soon after. Only Iboria and Xenia currently remain.
+'''Ships'''
-To commemorate this fresh start, Maximus planned to entirely rebuild his port, and transform the continent into one huge port. The neighbouring [[Verussian Empire]] had since been reorganized into a republic, and moved away; leaving many of their old towns in ruins - including their capital Pallivadia. Maximus took the opportunity and controversially annexed large parts of the old Verussian Empire, including the ruin of their capital.
+Maximus is credited with designing the majority of ships the server sells at various warps. He has built over during his time on the server, selling most of his ships privately. Some of his latest ships are on display at his port, or can be seen in his plot on /hub. Ping him a message in-game if you want to visit.
-Pallivadia, having been damaged by fire, war, and neglect, was torn down to make way for a new port. The old port of Xenia also fell victim to the same fate, and currently only 30% of the original port remain. A few smaller ex-Verussian and Xenon forts and villages were also torn down. Construction of the new city Xenia started on 30th October. As of July 2018, the city is 65% complete.
-Nowadays, Maximus is usually found building his city, or designing ships. After becoming admin, Maximus retired from active 'playing' on the server, and only builds or does staffing.
-== Additional Notes ==
-'''Shipwright'''
-Maximus is credited with designing most of the server's ships it sells at cove and other places. Among these are several larger ships including an indiaman that is frequently bought by Empires seeking to grow their navies. This has lead to most empires and crews owning ships designed and built by him. Of the roughly 15 ships currently docked at the British Empire's naval base, at least 12 of them were of his design.
+Among his most prized possessions is the [[Phantom Sovereign]]; a historic pirate ship, The Raven; flagship of [[Raven Pirates]], and XNS Centaurus; a historically accurate 74-gun ship of the line that can be sailed. All of his ships are denoted 'XNS', meaning 'Xenian Navy Ship'.
-'''A fresh start'''
+'''Server building projects'''
-Despite its massive size, the old [[Port of Xenia]] is largely regened now. After TXO and XE fell apart, the port turned into a ruin and was reclaimed by nature. However plans for a new port were drawn up nearby, simply known as Xenia. This port is currently under construction, and is estimated to be completed by late 2018. Once completed, it will be 4 times the size of the original port.
+He joined the building team in secrecy in mid 2015, only revealing to be one of the main builders when he received the rank of housewright in early 2017. During his time as builder and eventually the build team leader, he has rebuilt cove, designed and built both spawn and the new ship battle arena, and is credited with designing many of the server's ships.
