<span style="float: left; font-size: 300%; line-height: 0.8; margin-right: 5px;">T</span>he Order of The Sanctum, established as a dominant force on Legendary Hardcore by August 10, 2025, stands as one of the server's largest and most influential factions, albeit a fading superpower. Originally Dedicated to eradicating player killers and maintaining a pristine spawn area, the Order has largely withdrawn from the Spawn Region to pursue different goals. Although OTS knights routinely silence player killers, The Order as a whole is more dedicated to accruement of wealth and preservation of artifacts, lore, and the dead. Renowned for its ambitious large-scale building projects, the faction is extremely selective, usually only recruiting players with little to no outside ties, and ambition within them.
</div>
== History ==
=== Foundation ===
The Order Of The Sanctum was a small, peacekeeping faction created and organized on June 25th, 2025, by [[TheCosmicalKing]] and [[SquirrelMC]]. Cosmical sought SquirrelMC out for their large contributions to spawn, and wished to formulate an organization to preserve [[Spalmipede]]'s Spawn Dome. The players [[ArtemyTheVorakh]], [[Bemf]], and Spalmipede himself would join in the span of one day. The group's composition was largely composed of newerish players, as the oldest among these players was Spalmipede, joining in May of 2025. Cosmical and Squirrel would unknowingly emulate [[The Empire]]'s values regarding killing and trapping player killers, however the idea of a protected spawn was a unique one. Very early on an OTS stash was constructed with all manner of building materials to repair Spalmipede's spawn dome.

=== Early Skirmishes and Building Projects (Burgeoning Faction) ===
[[File:Minecraft Screenshot 2025.06.28 - 18.05.05.87.png|thumb|Artemy in a portal trap 6/28/25]]
The Order received its first test of mettle against the trappers [[Ta7zz]], [[Lightgreypanda]], and [[InternetFound]]. Panda and Internet had trapped and killed [[Th3eternal1]] in a portal trap the day after OTS's founding, giving the rising faction a chance to uphold its principles. Over a period of several days, InternetFound would travel to spawn to observe OTS knights in the region. In one instance, TheCosmicalKing detonated an end crystal in his proximity, popping his totem of undying and forcing him to flee. Small undecisive fights like this would become somewhat common in the Order's early days. As time progressed, the trio's traps would claim the lives of 4 more LHC members, a few of which were regulars, such as [[Purplebaron2]]. Ta7zz, and Lightgreypanda would evidently grow bored of the server and become inactive in early July. TheCosmicalKing similarly departed for 2 weeks around this time, leaving the Knights of OTS and InternetFound in a tense standoffish way. Only ArtemyTheVorakh bridged the gap, constructing a shulker farm with InternetFound at spawn, and seemingly befriending him. This relationship, which was seemingly turning cordial, was flipped upside down when Spalmipede located InternetFound's base. Spalmipede stole a shulker of armor trims, but returned it at Internet's request. InternetFound approached to open the returned box, only to discover it was trapped. The TnT cart trap ended up ending his life. This action by Spalmipede was the cause for a falling out between Artemy and a few OTS members, as he was convinced by this time InternetFound had turned for good. The killing of Internet and raiding of his base left Ta7zz and Lightgreypanda to become inactive (until ta7zz's temporary return for the [[Egg Hunt]]), which marked the end of the trapper trio. Not long after InternetFound's death, ArtemyTheVorakh was slain by a zombie whilst afk, effectively silencing his voice. Whilst the Order's first loss, and a deep one at that, Spalmipede's actions and Artemy's subsequent death would set a precedent for the Order's policies going forward. Mercy would become somewhat of a rarity when dealing with killers, and the faction would not forget.

During this period the Order also pursued various building projects. The biggest of which was [[The Sanctum Yard Cemetery]], a vast graveyard kickstarted by ArtemyTheVorakh's ambitions for a large compound to house the dead. Artemy's wishes would come to fruition, as at the height of its usage, the cemetery housed more than 300 player heads. The Sanctum Yard created a large pool for the Order to sink its material wealth and manpower in to, as well as solidify the moral direction of the group. That of honoring and respecting the dead, and valuing the living. Members imagined that steel would meet those who would not comply. Other OTS build projects include ArtemyTheVorakh's small checkpoint located in a jungle with a skeleton grinder and basic utilities, as well as spawn repair. Repairing and maintaining of spawn would become a large focal point of OTS values, and Order slaves and members alike would contribute greatly to its upkeep.

=== The Longest Day, and the Subsumption of Vortex (Burgeoning Faction) ===
As the server chugged along into August, members of [[Team Vortex]] gradually seemed to become more active after a slight dip in inactivity. TheCosmicalKing and [[PoorGrammar313]] would begin negotiations for a partial merging of the two factions. They agreed upon mutual resource sharing, but that the two factions would remain separate entities. This agreement would dissolve after Poorgrammar313's death at the hands of [[Flagman45]] during the events of [[The Longest Day]]. TLD also saw the death of beloved Co-Grand Warden of the Order, SquirrelMC. SquirrelMC's death would heavily hinder OTS operations and morale, as many members like his co-leader TheCosmicalKing and Knight [[MikoYey]] were deeply affected by his passing. The death of Poorgrammar313 likewise caused a wave of despair, as such an old and influential member of the playerbase dying struck a similar blow to morale. Poorgrammar's passing caused Team Vortex's remaining members, [[Thowan]], [[Zanther76]], and [[Alcred]] to unanimously agree to be absorbed into the Order of The Sanctum, swelling the faction's numbers greatly. The Order took a heavy hit during the events of TLD, even so it remained to uphold its ideals. The Order would receive a boost in morale however, as in a few weeks time, Poorgrammar313 would be revived due to Flagman45's utilization of cheats.

=== The Story of Hammerfall (Golden Era) ===
Even before the alliance between Team Vortex and OTS, Order Grand Warden TheCosmicalKing continuously pushed for the idea of a megabase to be constructed. Hammerfall was an incredibly ambitious project, and was the subject of discussion for months on end. It required vast amounts of planning, resources, and was the first OTS project to involve the use of slave labor. [[Hippieflippy]] was enslaved by the Order of the Sanctum (for crimes against the server) and forced to mine large quantities of deepslate. [[Galxy Cat]], a later member of the Order, was contracted to mine 500,000 blocks of deepslate for a compensation of a stack of netherite ingots. Work on Hammerfall started in late August, and comprised the majority of OTS focuses in September. Late August to early October can be considered the Order's Golden Era, as it upheld an active membership of 15 online players contributing to its goals, police work, and construction. An extremely elaborate cathedral was developed for the project, and perhaps the most terraforming ever seen on the server was initiated. Work on Hammerfall skyrocketed OTS members into statistics categories, such as spruce logs chopped, dirt placed, and other categories. Spalmipede's use of TnT bombers would see entire mountains leveled, and TheCosmicalKing led a division of 5 members in an entire ring around where the base was planned to be constructed, hacking away the circumference of a circle that would be 3,000 blocks in diameter. This was done for the purpose of the Hammerwall, a massive deepslate wall 15 blocks high and 7 blocks wide that dominated the spruce forest scape. The Hammerfall "Hammerfarms" region would also be developed, and [[ShyAlly]] would begin the excruciating process of preparing a "perimeter" for large farms with the help of elaborate and expansive redstone cutters and saws, as well as bombers. Despite countless hours of work and dedication, Hammerfall would remain a distant dream to the Order's members. Work stopped almost entirely when it was discovered that Zanther76 had leaked the coordinates of the base to a regular LHC player, ZMEDUSAZ, who had travelled to the base, into a hidden stash only 5 members knew of, and stole the "Legendary Heads" shulker. This orange shulker contained heads incredibly important to server lore, [[BlueLegionary|BlueLegionary's]], [[R2aye]]'s, [[Yehomere|Yehomere's]], and many others, such as deceased OTS members. This conflict intensified over the course of a week, and contains much more intricacy than will be discussed. In the end, ZMEDUSAZ was banned for entity radar from some old screenshots dredged up by an OTS member, and Zanther76 would escape a stasis trap thanks to the help of his teammate KenoTM. Zanther would become essentially permanently inactive after this development, and Keno would burn the shulker of legendary heads at his request. Members of the Order mostly abandoned Hammerfall due to its newfound danger, and the region became strictly farm only. To this day, many running and working OTS farms in the region contribute to the Order's industrial might, however its planned glory was never fully realized. The hulking Hammerwall lays at a 5th of completion, the Estate Region remains abandoned and collecting dust, and leveled mountains and plain regions remain empty and unused. Hammerfall remains a cautionary tale to its founders, and remains a sour stain on OTS history as a whole. Not long after this debacle, HippieFlippy would be killed in a portal trap on the 14th of October. These events, as well as a couple others, would relinquish firm Order control over the spawn region, and greatly reduce OTS influence on the server as a whole.

=== The Age of HippieFlippy (Golden Era) ===
[[File:HippieJk.png|thumb|Order and Porto Seguro Collaborate]]
Detailed In Hippieflippy's wiki page, Hippie was first accosted by SquirrelMC in the end dimension for the killing a player. SquirrelMC saw an oppurtunity, and rather than killing the young player killer, Squirrel allowed Hippie to repent for his crimes via a sentence of penal labor. Hippie repaired spawn and mined large quantities of deepslate as mentioned, before he was released. With the majority of the Order finding his eagerness to correct his wrongdoings respectable, as well as appreciating his laid back nature, he was inducted into the Order after the events of TLD. Despite the deep moral blow of SquirrelMC's death, The Order was able to greatly expand its influence and control in the spawn region through the efforts of Hippie, as well as new recruits like [[Arius Void]] and [[FatalxEquinox]], that comprised most of the OTS's main strike forces. Other new recruits during this time like [[Spongeclipboard]] and [[Fohila]] bolstered OTS ranks. OTS knights would collaborate closely with Pumpkin Cult members, as well as those from the Porto Seguro faction. HippieFlippy amassed an incredible number of kills on player killers, and yet even so remained incredibly philanthropic. Following in MikoYey's footsteps, Hippie would give out totems, elytras, and many other resources out of the kindness of his heart. The age of Hippie was the most active the Order had ever been, and allowed it to expand and leverage its large manpower and wealth to the fullest. Another example of OTS exerting its influence was Spalmipede's finding of Stalemuffin's base, a player killer that tormented the server for around 2 weeks. Spalmipede stasis trapped and killed Stalemuffin, and forced his teammate to combat log. This achievement once again proved Spalmipede's cunning, as it resembled his earlier killing of InternetFound. This kill would bolster Order confidence in itself as an organization. Towards the tail end of the Golden Era, OTS member [[BloodyOrphan]] came to TheCosmicalKing with suggestions regarding the Order's command structure. With Cosmical as its Grand Warden, and Chamberlains below him, authority was often lost because of the bloated nature of the faction. The Order underwent time to reshape itself, and over the period of 3 days, a complete restructure was achieved. Elections were held for Grand Knight and Grand Mason, and an Officer Corps was established. (The Order Officer Corps or OOC would almost become a faction within a faction). The role of Chamberlain was reduced to that of a cosmetic role, and most Order members were simply that of knight rank for simplicity. With a completely restructured ranking and command system, the Order was able to shed most of its fluff to become more strategic in its operations. The OOC proved to be an exceptional addition, allowing higher ranking OTS members to assess threats with scrutiny before detailing plans of action to its wider members. A prime example of this is [[Operation Overkill]], a resounding success for OOC objectives. After this strategic victory Hippie's death would strike an end to this era, and the Order's Golden Era itself would end following the deaths of Arius_Void and FatalxEquinox.

=== Limbo and Limited Revival (Twilight Era) ===
Following the deaths of several key figures in the Order, OTS influence would be vastly drained. The deaths of said members caused many others to become inactive. The Order discord would become a general chatroom for dead members discussing other servers they had moved on to, and activity in the Order tanked as a result. Thus, the Order remained in a state of limbo. Its members sometimes ventured out to the spawn region to maintain peace, but no longer with nearly as firm a grip as they enjoyed previously. Because of this reduced power, the OOC began construction on a new base for the Order, a base known as Isla Infinita. Isla Infinita, or II, serves as the proper command center for the Order at time of writing. This is where the Order's Centurions and higher collect artifacts, preserve history, and generally maintain the faction from fracturing. It is the proper brain stem of the Order, and serves the purposes Hammerfall would have, albeit on a significantly less grand scale. During this era, a few members such as [[Salefranguito]] and [[Deruzion]] would join the Order's ranks, following the dissolution of Porto Seguro, and the Pumpkin Cult's waning power after DM1600's death, (later revived). A limited revival would occur with these additions to the Order, as Sale's contributions to police work would be widely renowned server-wide. It was also around this time that BloodyOrphan would unveil a large schematic of an Obsidian Star, modeled after The Order's official seal. The star comprised of 130,000 obsidian, and was completed in just 2 days. The OTS star is still found at spawn, and has suffered very minor weathering, but largely remains intact. The quick construction of such a hulking sky build gave hope to the Order's members, as despite fading power, large feats could still be accomplished. Another significant boost to the Order's morale was the success of Operation Rooster. Operation Rooster was made possible by the Knight (now Centurion) Bemf, who recieved a message from an unknown user saying that they had the coordinates to [[Luquitas Alpha]]'s base. Luquitas Alpha was a notorious player killer, primarily of new players. Luquitas had also killed [[THE PR0CT0R]], a long standing regular of LHC. Grand Warden TheCosmicalKing and knight Salefranguito (who had been hunting Luquitas for months), traveled to the coordinates. Unable to locate the base, Cosmical and Sale searched nearby nether portals and overworld forests. Sale then recieved a message from the user with the information that the base was located near a tree farm. TheCosmicalKing stumbled upon said tree farm, and within 10 minutes had identified a patch of powdered snow he dug up with his shovel, discovering the ladder to Luquitas's base. The audio recording is lost now, but Sale and Cosmical were both freaking out at the discovery. Upon descending the ladder, the pair found Luquitas's stasis, with his pearl present. The pair constructed an obisidan box around the pearl, and Salefranguito waited almost a total of 6 hours camping the location, an incredible feat of dedication. Using [[Sherek Berg]]'s connection to Luquitas, Sale was able to make Luquitas log on with a fake message that Sherek himself needed assistance. Upon Luquitas logging in, Sale tripped his stasis but was unable to deliver a finishing blow, (due to TheCosmicalKing's poor obisidan box design). Luquitas escaped, and Cosmical and Sale engaged in an almost 10 minute long chase that saw Luquitas blown up by Cosmical when he attempted to land and regear. This monumental victory significantly improved confidence and morale within the Order, and saw it revived to a degree that allowed its influence to be felt again. With the addition of [[Deerjammer]], a skilled mace pvper, the Order once again was able to leverage its knights to bring authority to the spawn region once more.

=== Decline and Return to Limbo (Twilight Era) ===
This period of Order activity which seemed to defy the tragedies that had befallen the faction was upended when Salefranguito accidentally blew himself up using his own end crystals. He had been wearing his elytra at the time, significantly reducing the protection he had. Sale's death yet again crippled the Order's sphere of influence. Sale himself will go down as one of the most effective player killer hunters to have ever graced the server, ending his run with over 50 kills of malicious players. Around this time [[1590283112]] would join LHC and kill both [[TheAcidWitch13]] and [[Dm1600]]. These events are included in OTS history to understand the reasoning behind Deruzion's cause of death (suicide), and Deerjammer's death to the hands of 159. Deruzion's suicide was the culmination of burnout and the death of friends, meanwhile Deerjammer was a constant annoyance to 159, constantly harrying him with assaults from a position of relative invulnerability. Using turtle master and a mace, Deerjammer was able to effectively harass 159 and drain their totems and armor durability. Deerjammer constantly engaged in this activity as a form of revenge for Acid and DM's demise. This would come to a head when 159 would log in to the end to find Deerjammer near the portal. Because Deerjammer had donned a curse of binding piglin head and was in her elytra, she was practically on half armor points. 159 used face placed crystals to end her, despite Deerjammer's commendable retotem efforts. These 3 deaths essentially caused the collapse of the Order's main body of personnel. By this time, the Order only really consisted of the Order Officer Corps, which is where it sits today. Even so, the OTS is a faction that still maintains and upholds its values, preserving works of art, lore, and honoring ArtemyTheVorakh's goal of honoring the dead. At time of writing, OTS holds around 15% of the dead population's player heads, a little over 2000. Every now and again, Order Centurions in the spawn region terminate player killers when possible. Though the faction is not what it used to be, it is still one of the most prominent and indeed the oldest faction on the face of Legendary Hardcore. Whether or not its stage of twilight comes before dawn, or before dusk remains to be seen however.

== Alliances ==
The Order of The Sanctum's oldest alliance dates back to July when the kingdom of [[Mellenor]] and OTS signed an alliance. On August 23rd, 2025, TheCosmicalKing along with Mikoyey and Hippieflippy would travel to Necropolis, capital of the sprouting Pumpkin Cult, and sign a mutual defense treaty. The same would be done with Porto Seguro, Cosmical and [[Veyk]] would sign an alliance together. To this day, none of the signing factions with which the Order has had an official alliance with are present or prominent except with the [[Legion of Concordia]]. Lazarfish0226 and Cosmical signed a mutual defense and trade treaty on September 18th, 2025. With the ruin of the Pumpkin Cult after DM and Acid's demises, LoC remains the Order's closest partner. The Legion of Concordia is also the only faction to hold an embassy for the Order on the server, highlighting their closeness and alignment of values.

== History ==

=== Early Life ===
SquirrelMC joined on the 18th of June, and immediately began to move as far away from spawn as possible. He was quick to find a farm planted by [[The Hive Organisation]] to sustain himself. After obtaining diamond gear and tools, Squirrel was incredibly close to being ended by a creeper blast. After this close shave with death, he met [[Alcred]] outside the spawn zone. Alcred assisted Squirrel by giving him various items required for server survival, before Squirrel began his long trek out into the server. At around this time, Alcred's [[Cursed Pact|Cursed Pacts]] were ongoing, and with Squirrel's presence known by Alcred, he was made on offer. Unfortunately a player named [[Turtles2071]] contested Squirrel for candidate as the next Gold Baron, Alcred's offered pact. After discussing that an in-server duel would be difficult to host, the reset server was chosen as its location. Many players quickly joined to witness the event live, with even the server's owner Jake276493 arriving to watch. Squirrel and Turtles were both given full diamond gear and golden apples in preparation for the duel, and a pseudo arena lane was constructed by [[Doctor_Pancake]] and [[TheCosmicalKing]]. After a tense fight, SquirrelMC emerged victorious, his superior combos earning him the win. Squirrel admitted at a much later date that this was his first ever duel.

=== Birth of the Gold Baron ===
After his victory, Alcred arranged a meeting with SquirrelMC, for his reward. Owing to the name of the pacts, Squirrel's victory also came at a great cost. He was awarded full Netherite armor, already trimmed, save for the helmet. Upon Squirrel's head sat his new curse, a Piglin Head with a curse of binding enchantment. SquirrelMC would greatly regret this decision in the future, stating he wasn't intending on playing as much as he did. After the crowning of his new Gold Baron title, SquirrelMC decided that he would rather hang out at spawn around other people than go it alone.

=== Vigilante Work ===
Squirrel met up with known killer hunter, [[Th3eternal1]], and became his accomplice of sorts, assisting in the hunting of player killers. During this time, a large chasm had been carved just North of [[Spawn Town]] by [[RedReaperxd]] on June 18th with the use of TNT bombers. SquirrelMC assembled a team and began his work of covering the entire hole with a layer of dirt. After around 4 hours, his team completed the task. After this achievement, SquirrelMC would go on to help eternal around spawn with tracking down and eliminating threats to the playerbase. Unfortunately, Squirrel wouldn't eliminate only threats. SquirrelMC and Turtles, the once adversaries, were jokingly taking bowshots at each other one day at spawn. In the middle of the playful "duel", turtles didn't equip a totem and was shot and killed by SquirrelMC. One day, with accusations thrown against a player named [[LightGreyPanda]] for killing a fellow player, SquirrelMC and [[Th3eternal1]] located his logout at spawn town and constructed an obsidian box around him. Eternal brought up the idea of a fair duel to Panda, who accepted. Despite the protests of SquirrelMC, Eternal deconstructed the obsidian and allowed Panda to escape, who promptly fled to 8000, 8000, where he met up with his teammate [[InternetFound]]. They constructed a trapped portal, and invited Eternal to the location, where again Eternal dismissed SquirrelMC's warnings. The portal trap killed Eternal in mere moments after he stepped through, and with his death, SquirrelMC would dedicate his time at spawn to eliminating greifers and killers, just like Eternal had. Squirrel's next target was a player named [[EtoGlazer]], someone who had joined in May, and rejoined in late June. EtoGlazer was found leaving Spawn Town to acquire TNT after destroying blocks at 0, 0 with a pickaxe. SquirrelMC chased him down and forced him to combat log, after which he and VampireSquid constructed an obsidian lava trap around his log out location. Unfortunately when EtoGlazer joined later that night, he reconnected outside of the trap and escaped.

=== Co-Founder ===
On June 25th, SquirrelMC was still hovering around spawn as its guardian. With the construction of the [[The Dome|Spawn Dome]] by [[Spalmipede]], TheCosmicalKing was interested in forming a faction to dedicate to the protection of spawn. Cosmical reached out to SquirrelMC, and the two formed a discord to discuss their plans for the newly created faction, [[The Order Of The Sanctum]]. The next day, [[ArtemyTheVorakh]] would join the duo, and afterward the group would go on to recruit the builder of the Dome, Spalmipede himself, as well as [[Bemf]]. The main concern of the Order, and SquirrelMC himself, at its founding was the protection of the Spawn Dome. The two biggest threats to the security of spawn was the trio of trappers, LightGreyPanda, InternetFound, and [[Ta7zzz]]. Several small skirmishes would occur at spawn between the two groups, usually ending in a logout [[Ender Pearl Stasis Chamber|stasis]] being triggered by the Trapper Trios. During this period, SquirrelMC had continued his vigilante work at spawn, constantly patrolling the dome along with Bemf, and ArtemyTheVorakh. Around this time he also picked up a new hobby however, head collection. When a player dies in Legendary Hardcore, their head is placed down as a block to be taken as a memento or trophy. SquirrelMC indulged this hobby of collection as he patrolled the spawn region, amassing quite the hoard, i.e. multiple shulkers worth. With this large collection of player heads, ArtemyTheVorakh suggested that a cemetery be constructed to house the heads. On June 27th, Artemy cleared out an area of a pale forest biome to begin construction, and a day later SquirrelMC and TheCosmicalKing arrived to kick the project off. Utilizing Artemy's wall design, they established a perimeter with TNT bombers and flint and steel and fenced in a majority of the cleared land. Graves were constructed, with SquirrelMC attaching epitaphs to each grave built. SquirrelMC's most notable achievements during the construction was his contribution to Order stores of deepslate and tuff, and excavation of the Cemetery's catacombs, as well as being perhaps one of the largest donors of heads to the Order. SquirrelMC and TheCosmicalKing became close friends over the course of the construction, often hanging out from afternoons until 3 AM in the morning. On July 6th, Cosmical took a two week long break from the server, and during this period Squirrel established another friendship with notable player [[MikoYey]], and generally found himself as a rising pillar of the server's community. Many found him an upstanding and friendly player. On July 18th when Cosmical returned from his hiatus, ArtemyTheVorakh was killed at spawn by a zombie whilst afk. This death was a large blow to SquirrelMC, who's bond with Artemy had grown significantly. SquirrelMC and TheCosmicalKing worked to finish Artemy's half built cathedral at the Sanctum Yard Cemetery in his honor, before declaring their work done on the 25th of July.

=== Late Life ===
After the Cemetery's construction, SquirrelMC played a pivotal role in the planning of the Order's next project, Hammerfall. The location was scouted out by SquirrelMC and TheCosmicalKing over the course of a couple of days, before in-depth planning began. Hammerfall's architecture was decided to be a form of High-Gothic, and Cosmical drew up a rudimentary diagram of the base's dimensions, (later refined by Spalmipede). SquirrelMC was among the first to the Order's site of operational planning, and transported the majority of the Order's materials to the site. With the close alliance of [[Team Vortex]] being established, SquirrelMC travelled to the late [[Aqita]]'s head stash to collect the relics left there. What SquirrelMC found there would ignite new speculation concerning the [[Dragon egg conflict]], as in the stash was [[Thridz]] and [[Yehomere]]'s heads. Squirrel brought these finds back to the Order, but declared that Aqita did not know where the egg was after a lengthy conversation with the player on discord. After the surprise of finding the heads thought lost, Squirrel returned to his usual routine, killing threats and finding heads. He also helped construction of the Hammerwall around the new base. By this time, Squirrel was one of the most popular figures on LHC, with over 16 days of playtime, and around 7-8 player kills under his belt.

=== Death ===
On the 19th of August 2025, SquirrelMC experienced kinetic energy whilst flying through the sky on a riptide trident. SquirrelMC's client experienced a desync before he collided with a mountain, and the lag allowed his totem to be popped and he was killed. This death was most shocking to [[MikoYey]] and TheCosmicalKing, all three of which had formed a tight friendship. SquirrelMC left the server with his final message as "dirt", harkening back to his achievements at repairing the spawn region. Squirrel was also freed of his curse, but of course his mortal coil as well. [[ShyAlly]], an Order knight, recovered Squirrel's player head and piglin head. A few days later, a dual funeral service for SquirrelMC and [[PoorGrammar313]] was held at Squirrel's ranch, where his piglin head was displayed instead of his player head. (Owing to the fact Squirrel's real face had never been glimpsed by anyone except Alcred). Squirrel's death was also the catalyst for the worst day in server history, inadvertently starting [[The Longest Day]].

=== Revival ===
On May 7th(?) SquirrelMC was revived due to the tireless efforts of [[BloodyOrphan]] on his admin account [[Witness Me]]. It was found that Squirrel had died due to an issue on papermc not rendering the chunks needed to be rendered at high speeds, such as riptide flying. Squirrel should have hit the mountain and ceased momentum, however the first block he hit popped his totem, and the one behind it killed him. Said server related issue allowed SquirrelMC to reenter the server as the longest dead player who had been revived. With his revival, the [[Order of the Sanctum]] would see increased activity.

<span style="float: left; font-size: 300%; line-height: 0.8; margin-right: 5px;">T</span>he Order of The Sanctum, established as a dominant force on Legendary Hardcore by August 10, 2025, stands as one of the server's largest and most influential factions, albeit a fading superpower. Originally Dedicated to eradicating player killers and maintaining a pristine spawn area, the Order has largely withdrawn form the Spawn Region to pursue different goals. Although OTS knights routinely silence player killers, The Order as a whole is more dedicated to accruement of wealth and preservation of artifacts, lore, and the dead. Renowned for its ambitious large-scale building projects, the faction is extremely selective, usually only recruiting players with little to no outside ties, and ambition within them.
</div>
== History ==
=== Foundation ===
The Order Of The Sanctum was a small, peacekeeping faction created and organized on June 25th, 2025, by [[TheCosmicalKing]] and [[SquirrelMC]]. Cosmical sought SquirrelMC out for their large contributions to spawn, and wished to formulate an organization to preserve [[Spalmipede]]'s Spawn Dome. The players [[ArtemyTheVorakh]], [[Bemf]], and Spalmipede himself would join in the span of one day. The group's composition was largely composed of newerish players, as the oldest among these players was Spalmipede, joining in May of 2025. Cosmical and Squirrel would unknowingly emulate [[The Empire]]'s values regarding killing and trapping player killers, however the idea of a protected spawn was a unique one. Very early on an OTS stash was constructed with all manner of building materials to repair Spalmipede's spawn dome.

=== Early Skirmishes and Building Projects (Burgeoning Faction) ===
[[File:Minecraft Screenshot 2025.06.28 - 18.05.05.87.png|thumb|Artemy in a portal trap 6/28/25]]
The Order received its first test of mettle against the trappers [[Ta7zz]], [[Lightgreypanda]], and [[InternetFound]]. Panda and Internet had trapped and killed [[Th3eternal1]] in a portal trap the day after OTS's founding, giving the rising faction a chance to uphold its principles. Over a period of several days, InternetFound would travel to spawn to observe OTS knights in the region. In one instance, TheCosmicalKing detonated an end crystal in his proximity, popping his totem of undying and forcing him to flee. Small undecisive fights like this would become somewhat common in the Order's early days. As time progressed, the trio's traps would claim the lives of 4 more LHC members, a few of which were regulars, such as [[Purplebaron2]]. Ta7zz, and Lightgreypanda would evidently grow bored of the server and become inactive in early July. TheCosmicalKing similarly departed for 2 weeks around this time, leaving the Knights of OTS and InternetFound in a tense standoffish way. Only ArtemyTheVorakh bridged the gap, constructing a shulker farm with InternetFound at spawn, and seemingly befriending him. This relationship, which was seemingly turning cordial, was flipped upside down when Spalmipede located InternetFound's base. Spalmipede stole a shulker of armor trims, but returned it at Internet's request. InternetFound approached to open the returned box, only to discover it was trapped. The TnT cart trap ended up ending his life. This action by Spalmipede was the cause for a falling out between Artemy and a few OTS members, as he was convinced by this time InternetFound had turned for good. The killing of Internet and raiding of his base left Ta7zz and Lightgreypanda to become inactive (until ta7zz's temporary return for the [[Egg Hunt]]), which marked the end of the trapper trio. Not long after InternetFound's death, ArtemyTheVorakh was slain by a zombie whilst afk, effectively silencing his voice. Whilst the Order's first loss, and a deep one at that, Spalmipede's actions and Artemy's subsequent death would set a precedent for the Order's policies going forward. Mercy would become somewhat of a rarity when dealing with killers, and the faction would not forget.

During this period the Order also pursued various building projects. The biggest of which was [[The Sanctum Yard Cemetery]], a vast graveyard kickstarted by ArtemyTheVorakh's ambitions for a large compound to house the dead. Artemy's wishes would come to fruition, as at the height of its usage, the cemetery housed more than 300 player heads. The Sanctum Yard created a large pool for the Order to sink its material wealth and manpower in to, as well as solidify the moral direction of the group. That of honoring and respecting the dead, and valuing the living. Members imagined that steel would meet those who would not comply. Other OTS build projects include ArtemyTheVorakh's small checkpoint located in a jungle with a skeleton grinder and basic utilities, as well as spawn repair. Repairing and maintaining of spawn would become a large focal point of OTS values, and Order slaves and members alike would contribute greatly to its upkeep.

=== The Longest Day, and the Subsumption of Vortex (Burgeoning Faction) ===
As the server chugged along into August, members of [[Team Vortex]] gradually seemed to become more active after a slight dip in inactivity. TheCosmicalKing and [[PoorGrammar313]] would begin negotiations for a partial merging of the two factions. They agreed upon mutual resource sharing, but that the two factions would remain separate entities. This agreement would dissolve after Poorgrammar313's death at the hands of [[Flagman45]] during the events of [[The Longest Day]]. TLD also saw the death of beloved Co-Grand Warden of the Order, SquirrelMC. SquirrelMC's death would heavily hinder OTS operations and morale, as many members like his co-leader TheCosmicalKing and Knight [[MikoYey]] were deeply affected by his passing. The death of Poorgrammar313 likewise caused a wave of despair, as such an old and influential member of the playerbase dying struck a similar blow to morale. Poorgrammar's passing caused Team Vortex's remaining members, [[Thowan]], [[Zanther76]], and [[Alcred]] to unanimously agree to be absorbed into the Order of The Sanctum, swelling the faction's numbers greatly. The Order took a heavy hit during the events of TLD, even so it remained to uphold its ideals. The Order would receive a boost in morale however, as in a few weeks time, Poorgrammar313 would be revived due to Flagman45's utilization of cheats.

=== The Story of Hammerfall (Golden Era) ===
Even before the alliance between Team Vortex and OTS, Order Grand Warden TheCosmicalKing continuously pushed for the idea of a megabase to be constructed. Hammerfall was an incredibly ambitious project, and was the subject of discussion for months on end. It required vast amounts of planning, resources, and was the first OTS project to involve the use of slave labor. [[Hippieflippy]] was enslaved by the Order of the Sanctum (for crimes against the server) and forced to mine large quantities of deepslate. [[Galxy Cat]], a later member of the Order, was contracted to mine 500,000 blocks of deepslate for a compensation of a stack of netherite ingots. Work on Hammerfall started in late August, and comprised the majority of OTS focuses in September. Late August to early October can be considered the Order's Golden Era, as it upheld an active membership of 15 online players contributing to its goals, police work, and construction. An extremely elaborate cathedral was developed for the project, and perhaps the most terraforming ever seen on the server was initiated. Work on Hammerfall skyrocketed OTS members into statistics categories, such as spruce logs chopped, dirt placed, and other categories. Spalmipede's use of TnT bombers would see entire mountains leveled, and TheCosmicalKing led a division of 5 members in an entire ring around where the base was planned to be constructed, hacking away the circumference of a circle that would be 3,000 blocks in diameter. This was done for the purpose of the Hammerwall, a massive deepslate wall 15 blocks high and 7 blocks wide that dominated the spruce forest scape. The Hammerfall "Hammerfarms" region would also be developed, and [[ShyAlly]] would begin the excruciating process of preparing a "perimeter" for large farms with the help of elaborate and expansive redstone cutters and saws, as well as bombers. Despite countless hours of work and dedication, Hammerfall would remain a distant dream to the Order's members. Work stopped almost entirely when it was discovered that Zanther76 had leaked the coordinates of the base to a regular LHC player, ZMEDUSAZ, who had travelled to the base, into a hidden stash only 5 members knew of, and stole the "Legendary Heads" shulker. This orange shulker contained heads incredibly important to server lore, [[BlueLegionary|BlueLegionary's]], [[R2aye]]'s, [[Yehomere|Yehomere's]], and many others, such as deceased OTS members. This conflict intensified over the course of a week, and contains much more intricacy than will be discussed. In the end, ZMEDUSAZ was banned for entity radar from some old screenshots dredged up by an OTS member, and Zanther76 would escape a stasis trap thanks to the help of his teammate KenoTM. Zanther would become essentially permanently inactive after this development, and Keno would burn the shulker of legendary heads at his request. Members of the Order mostly abandoned Hammerfall due to its newfound danger, and the region became strictly farm only. To this day, many running and working OTS farms in the region contribute to the Order's industrial might, however its planned glory was never fully realized. The hulking Hammerwall lays at a 5th of completion, the Estate Region remains abandoned and collecting dust, and leveled mountains and plain regions remain empty and unused. Hammerfall remains a cautionary tale to its founders, and remains a sour stain on OTS history as a whole. Not long after this debacle, HippieFlippy would be killed in a portal trap on the 14th of October. These events, as well as a couple others, would relinquish firm Order control over the spawn region, and greatly reduce OTS influence on the server as a whole.

=== The Age of HippieFlippy (Golden Era) ===
[[File:HippieJk.png|thumb|Order and Porto Seguro Collaborate]]
Detailed In Hippieflippy's wiki page, Hippie was first accosted by SquirrelMC in the end dimension for the killing a player. SquirrelMC saw an oppurtunity, and rather than killing the young player killer, Squirrel allowed Hippie to repent for his crimes via a sentence of penal labor. Hippie repaired spawn and mined large quantities of deepslate as mentioned, before he was released. With the majority of the Order finding his eagerness to correct his wrongdoings respectable, as well as appreciating his laid back nature, he was inducted into the Order after the events of TLD. Despite the deep moral blow of SquirrelMC's death, The Order was able to greatly expand its influence and control in the spawn region through the efforts of Hippie, as well as new recruits like [[Arius Void]] and [[FatalxEquinox]], that comprised most of the OTS's main strike forces. Other new recruits during this time like [[Spongeclipboard]] and [[Fohila]] bolstered OTS ranks. OTS knights would collaborate closely with Pumpkin Cult members, as well as those from the Porto Seguro faction. HippieFlippy amassed an incredible number of kills on player killers, and yet even so remained incredibly philanthropic. Following in MikoYey's footsteps, Hippie would give out totems, elytras, and many other resources out of the kindness of his heart. The age of Hippie was the most active the Order had ever been, and allowed it to expand and leverage its large manpower and wealth to the fullest. Another example of OTS exerting its influence was Spalmipede's finding of Stalemuffin's base, a player killer that tormented the server for around 2 weeks. Spalmipede stasis trapped and killed Stalemuffin, and forced his teammate to combat log. This achievement once again proved Spalmipede's cunning, as it resembled his earlier killing of InternetFound. This kill would bolster Order confidence in itself as an organization. Towards the tail end of the Golden Era, OTS member [[BloodyOrphan]] came to TheCosmicalKing with suggestions regarding the Order's command structure. With Cosmical as its Grand Warden, and Chamberlains below him, authority was often lost because of the bloated nature of the faction. The Order underwent time to reshape itself, and over the period of 3 days, a complete restructure was achieved. Elections were held for Grand Knight and Grand Mason, and an Officer Corps was established. (The Order Officer Corps or OOC would almost become a faction within a faction). The role of Chamberlain was reduced to that of a cosmetic role, and most Order members were simply that of knight rank for simplicity. With a completely restructured ranking and command system, the Order was able to shed most of its fluff to become more strategic in its operations. The OOC proved to be an exceptional addition, allowing higher ranking OTS members to assess threats with scrutiny before detailing plans of action to its wider members. A prime example of this is [[Operation Overkill]], a resounding success for OOC objectives. After this strategic victory Hippie's death would strike an end to this era, and the Order's Golden Era itself would end following the deaths of Arius_Void and FatalxEquinox.

=== Limbo and Limited Revival (Twilight Era) ===
Following the deaths of several key figures in the Order, OTS influence would be vastly drained. The deaths of said members caused many others to become inactive. The Order discord would become a general chatroom for dead members discussing other servers they had moved on to, and activity in the Order tanked as a result. Thus, the Order remained in a state of limbo. Its members sometimes ventured out to the spawn region to maintain peace, but no longer with nearly as firm a grip as they enjoyed previously. Because of this reduced power, the OOC began construction on a new base for the Order, a base known as Isla Infinita. Isla Infinita, or II, serves as the proper command center for the Order at time of writing. This is where the Order's Centurions and higher collect artifacts, preserve history, and generally maintain the faction from fracturing. It is the proper brain stem of the Order, and serves the purposes Hammerfall would have, albeit on a significantly less grand scale. During this era, a few members such as [[Salefranguito]] and [[Deruzion]] would join the Order's ranks, following the dissolution of Porto Seguro, and the Pumpkin Cult's waning power after DM1600's death, (later revived). A limited revival would occur with these additions to the Order, as Sale's contributions to police work would be widely renowned server-wide. It was also around this time that BloodyOrphan would unveil a large schematic of an Obsidian Star, modeled after The Order's official seal. The star comprised of 130,000 obsidian, and was completed in just 2 days. The OTS star is still found at spawn, and has suffered very minor weathering, but largely remains intact. The quick construction of such a hulking sky build gave hope to the Order's members, as despite fading power, large feats could still be accomplished. Another significant boost to the Order's morale was the success of Operation Rooster. Operation Rooster was made possible by the Knight (now Centurion) Bemf, who recieved a message from an unknown user saying that they had the coordinates to [[Luquitas Alpha]]'s base. Luquitas Alpha was a notorious player killer, primarily of new players. Luquitas had also killed [[THE PR0CT0R]], a long standing regular of LHC. Grand Warden TheCosmicalKing and knight Salefranguito (who had been hunting Luquitas for months), traveled to the coordinates. Unable to locate the base, Cosmical and Sale searched nearby nether portals and overworld forests. Sale then recieved a message from the user with the information that the base was located near a tree farm. TheCosmicalKing stumbled upon said tree farm, and within 10 minutes had identified a patch of powdered snow he dug up with his shovel, discovering the ladder to Luquitas's base. The audio recording is lost now, but Sale and Cosmical were both freaking out at the discovery. Upon descending the ladder, the pair found Luquitas's stasis, with his pearl present. The pair constructed an obisidan box around the pearl, and Salefranguito waited almost a total of 6 hours camping the location, an incredible feat of dedication. Using [[Sherek Berg]]'s connection to Luquitas, Sale was able to make Luquitas log on with a fake message that Sherek himself needed assistance. Upon Luquitas logging in, Sale tripped his stasis but was unable to deliver a finishing blow, (due to TheCosmicalKing's poor obisidan box design). Luquitas escaped, and Cosmical and Sale engaged in an almost 10 minute long chase that saw Luquitas blown up by Cosmical when he attempted to land and regear. This monumental victory significantly improved confidence and morale within the Order, and saw it revived to a degree that allowed its influence to be felt again. With the addition of [[Deerjammer]], a skilled mace pvper, the Order once again was able to leverage its knights to bring authority to the spawn region once more.

=== Decline and Return to Limbo (Twilight Era) ===
This period of Order activity which seemed to defy the tragedies that had befallen the faction was upended when Salefranguito accidentally blew himself up using his own end crystals. He had been wearing his elytra at the time, significantly reducing the protection he had. Sale's death yet again crippled the Order's sphere of influence. Sale himself will go down as one of the most effective player killer hunters to have ever graced the server, ending his run with over 50 kills of malicious players. Around this time [[1590283112]] would join LHC and kill both [[TheAcidWitch13]] and [[Dm1600]]. These events are included in OTS history to understand the reasoning behind Deruzion's cause of death (suicide), and Deerjammer's death to the hands of 159. Deruzion's suicide was the culmination of burnout and the death of friends, meanwhile Deerjammer was a constant annoyance to 159, constantly harrying him with assaults from a position of relative invulnerability. Using turtle master and a mace, Deerjammer was able to effectively harass 159 and drain their totems and armor durability. Deerjammer constantly engaged in this activity as a form of revenge for Acid and DM's demise. This would come to a head when 159 would log in to the end to find Deerjammer near the portal. Because Deerjammer had donned a curse of binding piglin head and was in her elytra, she was practically on half armor points. 159 used face placed crystals to end her, despite Deerjammer's commendable retotem efforts. These 3 deaths essentially caused the collapse of the Order's main body of personnel. By this time, the Order only really consisted of the Order Officer Corps, which is where it sits today. Even so, the OTS is a faction that still maintains and upholds its values, preserving works of art, lore, and honoring ArtemyTheVorakh's goal of honoring the dead. At time of writing, OTS holds around 15% of the dead population's player heads, a little over 2000. Every now and again, Order Centurions in the spawn region terminate player killers when possible. Though the faction is not what it used to be, it is still one of the most prominent and indeed the oldest faction on the face of Legendary Hardcore. Whether or not its stage of twilight comes before dawn, or before dusk remains to be seen however.

== Alliances ==
The Order of The Sanctum's oldest alliance dates back to July when the kingdom of [[Mellenor]] and OTS signed an alliance. On August 23rd, 2025, TheCosmicalKing along with Mikoyey and Hippieflippy would travel to Necropolis, capital of the sprouting Pumpkin Cult, and sign a mutual defense treaty. The same would be done with Porto Seguro, Cosmical and [[Veyk]] would sign an alliance together. To this day, none of the signing factions with which the Order has had an official alliance with are present or prominent except with the [[Legion of Concordia]]. Lazarfish0226 and Cosmical signed a mutual defense and trade treaty on September 18th, 2025. With the ruin of the Pumpkin Cult after DM and Acid's demises, LoC remains the Order's closest partner. The Legion of Concordia is also the only faction to hold an embassy for the Order on the server, highlighting their closeness and alignment of values.

Originally Dedicated to eradicating player killers and maintaining a pristine spawn area, the Order has largely withdrawn form the Spawn Region to pursue different goals. Although OTS knights routinely silence player killers, The Order as a whole is more dedicated to accruement of wealth and preservation of artifacts, lore, and the dead. Renowned for its ambitious large-scale building projects, the faction is extremely selective, usually only recruiting players with little to no outside ties, and ambition within them.

== History ==
=== Foundation ===
The Order Of The Sanctum was a small, peacekeeping faction created and organized on June 25th, 2025, by [[TheCosmicalKing]] and [[SquirrelMC]]. Cosmical sought SquirrelMC out for their large contributions to spawn, and wished to formulate an organization to preserve [[Spalmipede]]'s Spawn Dome. The players [[ArtemyTheVorakh]], [[Bemf]], and Spalmipede himself would join in the span of one day. The group's composition was largely composed of newerish players, as the oldest among these players was Spalmipede, joining in May of 2025. Cosmical and Squirrel would unknowingly emulate [[The Empire]]'s values regarding killing and trapping player killers, however the idea of a protected spawn was a unique one. Very early on an OTS stash was constructed with all manner of building materials to repair Spalmipede's spawn dome.

=== Early Skirmishes and Building Projects (Burgeoning Faction) ===
[[File:Minecraft Screenshot 2025.06.28 - 18.05.05.87.png|thumb|Artemy in a portal trap 6/28/25]]
The Order received its first test of mettle against the trappers [[Ta7zz]], [[Lightgreypanda]], and [[InternetFound]]. Panda and Internet had trapped an`d killed [[Th3eternal1]] in a portal trap the day after OTS's founding, giving the rising faction a chance to uphold its principles. Over a period of several days, InternetFound would travel to spawn to observe OTS knights in the region. In one instance, TheCosmicalKing detonated an end crystal in his proximity, popping his totem of undying and forcing him to flee. Small undecisive fights like this would become somewhat common in the Order's early days. As time progressed, the trio's traps would claim the lives of 4 more LHC members, a few of which were regulars, such as [[Purplebaron2]]. Ta7zz, and Lightgreypanda would evidently grow bored of the server and become inactive in early July. TheCosmicalKing similarly departed for 2 weeks around this time, leaving the Knights of OTS and InternetFound in a tense standoffish way. Only ArtemyTheVorakh bridged the gap, constructing a shulker farm with InternetFound at spawn, and seemingly befriending him. This relationship, which was seemingly turning cordial, was flipped upside down when Spalmipede located InternetFound's base. Spalmipede stole a shulker of armor trims, but returned it at Internet's request. InternetFound approached to open the returned box, only to discover it was trapped. The TnT cart trap ended up ending his life. This action by Spalmipede was the cause for a falling out between Artemy and a few OTS members, as he was convinced by this time InternetFound had turned for good. The killing of Internet and raiding of his base left Ta7zz and Lightgreypanda to become inactive (until ta7zz's temporary return for the [[Egg Hunt]]), which marked the end of the trapper trio. Not long after InternetFound's death, ArtemyTheVorakh was slain by a zombie whilst afk, effectively silencing his voice. Whilst the Order's first loss, and a deep one at that, Spalmipede's actions and Artemy's subsequent death would set a precedent for the Order's policies going forward. Mercy would become somewhat of a rarity when dealing with killers, and the faction would not forget.

During this period the Order also pursued various building projects. The biggest of which was [[The Sanctum Yard Cemetery]], a vast graveyard kickstarted by ArtemyTheVorakh's ambitions for a large compound to house the dead. Artemy's wishes would come to fruition, as at the height of its usage, the cemetery housed more than 300 player heads. The Sanctum Yard created a large pool for the Order to sink its material wealth and manpower in to, as well as solidify the moral direction of the group. That of honoring and respecting the dead, and valuing the living. Members imagined that steel would meet those who would not comply. Other OTS build projects include ArtemyTheVorakh's small checkpoint located in a jungle with a skeleton grinder and basic utilities, as well as spawn repair. Repairing and maintaining of spawn would become a large focal point of OTS values, and Order slaves and members alike would contribute greatly to its upkeep.

=== The Longest Day, and the Subsumption of Vortex (Burgeoning Faction) ===
As the server chugged along into August, members of [[Team Vortex]] gradually seemed to become more active after a slight dip in inactivity. TheCosmicalKing and [[PoorGrammar313]] would begin negotiations for a partial merging of the two factions. They agreed upon mutual resource sharing, but that the two factions would remain separate entities. This agreement would dissolve after Poorgrammar313's death at the hands of [[Flagman45]] during the events of [[The Longest Day]]. TLD also saw the death of beloved Co-Grand Warden of the Order, SquirrelMC. SquirrelMC's death would heavily hinder OTS operations and morale, as many members like his co-leader TheCosmicalKing and Knight [[MikoYey]] were deeply affected by his passing. The death of Poorgrammar313 likewise caused a wave of despair, as such an old and influential member of the playerbase dying struck a similar blow to morale. Poorgrammar's passing caused Team Vortex's remaining members, [[Thowan]], [[Zanther76]], and [[Alcred]] to unanimously agree to be absorbed into the Order of The Sanctum, swelling the faction's numbers greatly. The Order took a heavy hit during the events of TLD, even so it remained to uphold its ideals. The Order would receive a boost in morale however, as in a few weeks time, Poorgrammar313 would be revived due to Flagman45's utilization of cheats.

=== The Story of Hammerfall (Golden Era) ===
Even before the alliance between Team Vortex and OTS, Order Grand Warden TheCosmicalKing continuously pushed for the idea of a megabase to be constructed. Hammerfall was an incredibly ambitious project, and was the subject of discussion for months on end. It required vast amounts of planning, resources, and was the first OTS project to involve the use of slave labor. [[Hippieflippy]] was enslaved by the Order of the Sanctum (for crimes against the server) and forced to mine large quantities of deepslate. [[Galxy Cat]], a later member of the Order, was contracted to mine 500,000 blocks of deepslate for a compensation of a stack of netherite ingots. Work on Hammerfall started in late August, and comprised the majority of OTS focuses in September. Late August to early October can be considered the Order's Golden Era, as it upheld an active membership of 15 online players contributing to its goals, police work, and construction. An extremely elaborate cathedral was developed for the project, and perhaps the most terraforming ever seen on the server was initiated. Work on Hammerfall skyrocketed OTS members into statistics categories, such as spruce logs chopped, dirt placed, and other categories. Spalmipede's use of TnT bombers would see entire mountains leveled, and TheCosmicalKing led a division of 5 members in an entire ring around where the base was planned to be constructed, hacking away the circumference of a circle that would be 3,000 blocks in diameter. This was done for the purpose of the Hammerwall, a massive deepslate wall 15 blocks high and 7 blocks wide that dominated the spruce forest scape. The Hammerfall "Hammerfarms" region would also be developed, and [[ShyAlly]] would begin the excruciating process of preparing a "perimeter" for large farms with the help of elaborate and expansive redstone cutters and saws, as well as bombers. Despite countless hours of work and dedication, Hammerfall would remain a distant dream to the Order's members. Work stopped almost entirely when it was discovered that Zanther76 had leaked the coordinates of the base to a regular LHC player, ZMEDUSAZ, who had travelled to the base, into a hidden stash only 5 members knew of, and stole the "Legendary Heads" shulker. This orange shulker contained heads incredibly important to server lore, [[BlueLegionary|BlueLegionary's]], [[R2aye]]'s, [[Yehomere|Yehomere's]], and many others, such as deceased OTS members. This conflict intensified over the course of a week, and contains much more intricacy than will be discussed. In the end, ZMEDUSAZ was banned for entity radar from some old screenshots dredged up by an OTS member, and Zanther76 would escape a stasis trap thanks to the help of his teammate KenoTM. Zanther would become essentially permanently inactive after this development, and Keno would burn the shulker of legendary heads at his request. Members of the Order mostly abandoned Hammerfall due to its newfound danger, and the region became strictly farm only. To this day, many running and working OTS farms in the region contribute to the Order's industrial might, however its planned glory was never fully realized. The hulking Hammerwall lays at a 5th of completion, the Estate Region remains abandoned and collecting dust, and leveled mountains and plain regions remain empty and unused. Hammerfall remains a cautionary tale to its founders, and remains a sour stain on OTS history as a whole. Not long after this debacle, HippieFlippy would be killed in a portal trap on the 14th of October. These events, as well as a couple others, would relinquish firm Order control over the spawn region, and greatly reduce OTS influence on the server as a whole.

=== The Age of HippieFlippy (Golden Era) ===
[[File:HippieJk.png|thumb|Order and Porto Seguro Collaborate]]
Detailed In Hippieflippy's wiki page, Hippie was first accosted by SquirrelMC in the end dimension for the killing a player. SquirrelMC saw an oppurtunity, and rather than killing the young player killer, Squirrel allowed Hippie to repent for his crimes via a sentence of penal labor. Hippie repaired spawn and mined large quantities of deepslate as mentioned, before he was released. With the majority of the Order finding his eagerness to correct his wrongdoings respectable, as well as appreciating his laid back nature, he was inducted into the Order after the events of TLD. Despite the deep moral blow of SquirrelMC's death, The Order was able to greatly expand its influence and control in the spawn region through the efforts of Hippie, as well as new recruits like [[Arius Void]] and [[FatalxEquinox]], that comprised most of the OTS's main strike forces. Other new recruits during this time like [[Spongeclipboard]] and [[Fohila]] bolstered OTS ranks. OTS knights would collaborate closely with Pumpkin Cult members, as well as those from the Porto Seguro faction. HippieFlippy amassed an incredible number of kills on player killers, and yet even so remained incredibly philanthropic. Following in MikoYey's footsteps, Hippie would give out totems, elytras, and many other resources out of the kindness of his heart. The age of Hippie was the most active the Order had ever been, and allowed it to expand and leverage its large manpower and wealth to the fullest. Another example of OTS exerting its influence was Spalmipede's finding of Stalemuffin's base, a player killer that tormented the server for around 2 weeks. Spalmipede stasis trapped and killed Stalemuffin, and forced his teammate to combat log. This achievement once again proved Spalmipede's cunning, as it resembled his earlier killing of InternetFound. This kill would bolster Order confidence in itself as an organization. Towards the tail end of the Golden Era, OTS member [[BloodyOrphan]] came to TheCosmicalKing with suggestions regarding the Order's command structure. With Cosmical as its Grand Warden, and Chamberlains below him, authority was often lost because of the bloated nature of the faction. The Order underwent time to reshape itself, and over the period of 3 days, a complete restructure was achieved. Elections were held for Grand Knight and Grand Mason, and an Officer Corps was established. (The Order Officer Corps or OOC would almost become a faction within a faction). The role of Chamberlain was reduced to that of a cosmetic role, and most Order members were simply that of knight rank for simplicity. With a completely restructured ranking and command system, the Order was able to shed most of its fluff to become more strategic in its operations. The OOC proved to be an exceptional addition, allowing higher ranking OTS members to assess threats with scrutiny before detailing plans of action to its wider members. A prime example of this is [[Operation Overkill]], a resounding success for OOC objectives. After this strategic victory Hippie's death would strike an end to this era, and the Order's Golden Era itself would end following the deaths of Arius_Void and FatalxEquinox.

=== Limbo and Limited Revival (Twilight Era) ===
Following the deaths of several key figures in the Order, OTS influence would be vastly drained. The deaths of said members caused many others to become inactive. The Order discord would become a general chatroom for dead members discussing other servers they had moved on to, and activity in the Order tanked as a result. Thus, the Order remained in a state of limbo. Its members sometimes ventured out to the spawn region to maintain peace, but no longer with nearly as firm a grip as they enjoyed previously. Because of this reduced power, the OOC began construction on a new base for the Order, a base known as Isla Infinita. Isla Infinita, or II, serves as the proper command center for the Order at time of writing. This is where the Order's Centurions and higher collect artifacts, preserve history, and generally maintain the faction from fracturing. It is the proper brain stem of the Order, and serves the purposes Hammerfall would have, albeit on a significantly less grand scale. During this era, a few members such as [[Salefranguito]] and [[Deruzion]] would join the Order's ranks, following the dissolution of Porto Seguro, and the Pumpkin Cult's waning power after DM1600's death, (later revived). A limited revival would occur with these additions to the Order, as Sale's contributions to police work would be widely renowned server-wide. It was also around this time that BloodyOrphan would unveil a large schematic of an Obsidian Star, modeled after The Order's official seal. The star comprised of 130,000 obsidian, and was completed in just 2 days. The OTS star is still found at spawn, and has suffered very minor weathering, but largely remains intact. The quick construction of such a hulking sky build gave hope to the Order's members, as despite fading power, large feats could still be accomplished. Another significant boost to the Order's morale was the success of Operation Rooster. Operation Rooster was made possible by the Knight (now Centurion) Bemf, who recieved a message from an unknown user saying that they had the coordinates to [[Luquitas Alpha]]'s base. Luquitas Alpha was a notorious player killer, primarily of new players. Luquitas had also killed [[THE PR0CT0R]], a long standing regular of LHC. Grand Warden TheCosmicalKing and knight Salefranguito (who had been hunting Luquitas for months), traveled to the coordinates. Unable to locate the base, Cosmical and Sale searched nearby nether portals and overworld forests. Sale then recieved a message from the user with the information that the base was located near a tree farm. TheCosmicalKing stumbled upon said tree farm, and within 10 minutes had identified a patch of powdered snow he dug up with his shovel, discovering the ladder to Luquitas's base. The audio recording is lost now, but Sale and Cosmical were both freaking out at the discovery. Upon descending the ladder, the pair found Luquitas's stasis, with his pearl present. The pair constructed an obisidan box around the pearl, and Salefranguito waited almost a total of 6 hours camping the location, an incredible feat of dedication. Using [[Sherek Berg]]'s connection to Luquitas, Sale was able to make Luquitas log on with a fake message that Sherek himself needed assistance. Upon Luquitas logging in, Sale tripped his stasis but was unable to deliver a finishing blow, (due to TheCosmicalKing's poor obisidan box design). Luquitas escaped, and Cosmical and Sale engaged in an almost 10 minute long chase that saw Luquitas blown up by Cosmical when he attempted to land and regear. This monumental victory significantly improved confidence and morale within the Order, and saw it revived to a degree that allowed its influence to be felt again. With the addition of [[Deerjammer]], a skilled mace pvper, the Order once again was able to leverage its knights to bring authority to the spawn region once more.

=== Decline and Return to Limbo (Twilight Era) ===
This period of Order activity which seemed to defy the tragedies that had befallen the faction was upended when Salefranguito accidentally blew himself up using his own end crystals. He had been wearing his elytra at the time, significantly reducing the protection he had. Sale's death yet again crippled the Order's sphere of influence. Sale himself will go down as one of the most effective player killer hunters to have ever graced the server, ending his run with over 50 kills of malicious players. Around this time [[1590283112]] would join LHC and kill both [[TheAcidWitch13]] and [[Dm1600]]. These events are included in OTS history to understand the reasoning behind Deruzion's cause of death (suicide), and Deerjammer's death to the hands of 159. Deruzion's suicide was the culmination of burnout and the death of friends, meanwhile Deerjammer was a constant annoyance to 159, constantly harrying him with assaults from a position of relative invulnerability. Using turtle master and a mace, Deerjammer was able to effectively harass 159 and drain their totems and armor durability. Deerjammer constantly engaged in this activity as a form of revenge for Acid and DM's demise. This would come to a head when 159 would log in to the end to find Deerjammer near the portal. Because Deerjammer had donned a curse of binding piglin head and was in her elytra, she was practically on half armor points. 159 used face placed crystals to end her, despite Deerjammer's commendable retotem efforts. These 3 deaths essentially caused the collapse of the Order's main body of personnel. By this time, the Order only really consisted of the Order Officer Corps, which is where it sits today. Even so, the OTS is a faction that still maintains and upholds its values, preserving works of art, lore, and honoring ArtemyTheVorakh's goal of honoring the dead. At time of writing, OTS holds around 15% of the dead population's player heads, a little over 2000. Every now and again, Order Centurions in the spawn region terminate player killers when possible. Though the faction is not what it used to be, it is still one of the most prominent and indeed the oldest faction on the face of Legendary Hardcore. Whether or not its stage of twilight comes before dawn, or before dusk remains to be seen however.

== Alliances ==
The Order of The Sanctum's oldest alliance dates back to July when the kingdom of [[Mellenor]] and OTS signed an alliance. On August 23rd, 2025, TheCosmicalKing along with Mikoyey and Hippieflippy would travel to Necropolis, capital of the sprouting Pumpkin Cult, and sign a mutual defense treaty. The same would be done with Porto Seguro, Cosmical and [[Veyk]] would sign an alliance together. To this day, none of the signing factions with which the Order has had an official alliance with are present or prominent except with the [[Legion of Concordia]]. Lazarfish0226 and Cosmical signed a mutual defense and trade treaty on September 18th, 2025. With the ruin of the Pumpkin Cult after DM and Acid's demises, LoC remains the Order's closest partner. The Legion of Concordia is also the only faction to hold an embassy for the Order on the server, highlighting their closeness and alignment of values.

TheCosmicalKing: Added Contributions To Hammerfall

Don't die.|allegiances=[[The Order Of The Sanctum]]|rivalries=}}'''Thowan''' was a reputable veteran player and Chamberlain of the [[The Order Of The Sanctum|Order of the Sanctum]].

== History ==

=== Early History ===
Thowan joined the server on the 26th of February 2025 and spawned in a frozen ocean in the south west [[Spawn Region]]. Within their first days on the server, Thowan made one of the earliest contributions to what would eventually become [[Spawn Town]] by building a small hut near the world's origin at X:0, Y:0. After initially travelling 10,000 blocks out to begin work on a personal base, Thowan journeyed back to the Spawn Region to become an early resident of [[Home Town]] and soon became recognised as the town's farmer[https://discord.com/channels/1324080813607747584/1342945074891329649/1347457131275616340 <sup><nowiki>[1]</nowiki></sup>].

Throughout March Thowan became an integral contributor to Home Town's growth and set up key infrastructure, including a villager trading hall and various farms. Thowan also involved themselves in operations outside the town itself- notably on the 8th of August 2025 when they both recovered the head of [[_Beowulf__]] from a trial chamber and rescued [[Thridz]] from a Bastian Remnant. Thowan, alongside [[Yehomere]] and various other players, also made continued contributions to Spawn Town throughout March 2025.

Following the destruction of Home Town and dissolution of [[The Empire]] during the [[Coalition Against _6_1]] and [[Peanut War]], Thowan journeyed out in to the world again.

From April to June 2025, Thowan lived in an old base belonging to Thridz and constructed a mob grinder, sugar cane farm and various food farms. On the 25th of May 2025, Thowan invited [[EtoGlazer]] to join them at their base and the pair began work on a villager trading hall, though EtoGlazer would soon become inactive. In June 2025, Thowan assisted in the [[Spawn Town#First spawn cleanup and The Domes|first spawn cleanup]] of Spawn Town and befriended [[SquirrelMC]].

=== The Order Of The Sanctum ===
Thowan was without a home for most of July 2025 after discovering that their base had been raided and griefed. On the 19th of July 2025 they travelled to the [[Sanctum Yard Cemetery]], which was still under construction. While touring the catacombs they were invited to join the Order of the Sanctum by [[TheCosmicalKing]].

=== Contributions to Hammerfall ===
From mid August to early October, Thowan was an active base member and contributor to the Order's largest base project at the time, Hammerfall. Thowan was instrumental in the clearing of vast swathes of forest by axe, and quickly rose among the top of the spruce logs chopped category. Thowan was also responsible for the entire terraforming of Estate Hill, and constructed a barn for various types of horses. Thowan also planted crops and constructed pens for livestock. Estate Hill remains Hammerfall's most developed region.

=== Death ===
While descending from the [[Spawn Star]] via Elytra on the 21st of February 2025, Thowan collided with obsidian [[Sky Writing]] that popped their Totem of Undying. Moments before the collision, they had unequipped their Elytra and on the subsequent 40-block fall they were unable to reequip a Totem of Undying or their Elytra before impacting the ground. Thowan's death shocked the community, with many players having interacted with and formed friendships with Thowan in both admin and non-admin capacities throughout their time on the server.

== Admin ==
In mid-June 2025, Thowan was invited to join the [[Admins|Admin]] team, having previously been a Chat Mod throughout March. [[ThowanOP]] became Thowan's Admin account, though they regularly continued to play on their survival account until their death.

TheCosmicalKing: Added Lore

{{Infobox|image=theapplewatch13.jpg|status=Alive|type=player}}

The '''Apple Watch''' is a smartwatch developed and marketed by Apple. It has fitness tracking, health-oriented capabilities, and wireless telecommunication, and integrates with watchOS and other Apple products and services. The first Apple Watch was released in April 2015, and quickly became the world's best-selling wearable device: 4.2 million were sold in the second quarter of fiscal 2015, and more than 115 million people were estimated to use an Apple Watch as of December 2022. Apple has introduced a new generation of the Apple Watch with improved internal components each September – each labeled by Apple as a 'Series', with certain exceptions.

Each Series has been initially sold in multiple variants defined by the watch casing's material, colour, and size (except for the budget watches Series 1 and SE, available only in aluminium, and the Ultra, available only in 49 mm titanium), and beginning with the Series 3, by the option in the aluminium variants for LTE cellular connectivity, which comes standard with the other materials. The band included with the watch can be selected from multiple options from Apple, and watch variants in aluminium co-branded with Nike and in stainless steel co-branded with Hermès are also offered, which include exclusive bands and colours. Any user may use digital watch faces carrying those companies' branding.

The Apple Watch operates in conjunction with the user's iPhone for functions such as configuring the watch and syncing data with iPhone apps, but can separately connect to a Wi-Fi network for data-reliant purposes, including communications, app use, and audio streaming. LTE-equipped models can also perform these functions over a mobile network, and can make and receive phone calls independently when the paired iPhone is not nearby or is powered off. The oldest iPhone model that is compatible with any given Apple Watch depends on the version of the operating system installed on each device. As of September 2025, new Apple Watches come with watchOS 26 preinstalled and require an iPhone running iOS 26, which is compatible with the iPhone 11 or later.

The Apple Watch is the only smartwatch fully supported for the iPhone, as Apple restricts the APIs available in other smartwatches, so other smartwatches always have less functionality.

TheCosmicalKing: Added SquirrelMC's Biography

== Early Life ==
SquirrelMC joined on the 18th of June, and immediately began to move as far away from spawn as possible. He was quick to find a farm planted by [[The Hive Organisation]] to sustain himself. After obtaining diamond gear and tools, Squirrel was incredibly close to being ended by a creeper blast. After this close shave with death, he met [[Alcred]] outside the spawn zone. Alcred assisted Squirrel by giving him various items required for server survival, before Squirrel began his long trek out into the server. At around this time, Alcred's [[Cursed Pact]]<nowiki/>s were ongoing, and with Squirrel's presence known by Alcred, he was made on offer. Unfortunately a player named Turtles2071 contested Squirrel for candidate as the next Gold Baron, (Alcred's offered pact). After discussing that an in-server duel would be difficult to host, the reset server was chosen as its location. Many players quickly joined to witness the event live, with even the server's owner Jake276493 arriving to watch. Squirrel and Turtles were both given full diamond gear and golden apples in preparation for the duel, and a pseudo arena lane was constructed by Doctor_Pancake and TheCosmicalKing. After a tense fight, SquirrelMC emerged victorious, his superior combos earning him the win. (Squirrel admitted at a much later date that this was his first ever duel).

== Birth of the Gold Baron ==
After his victory, Alcred arranged a meeting with SquirrelMC, for his "reward". Owing to the name of the pacts, Squirrel's victory also came at a great cost. He was awarded full Netherite armor, already trimmed, save for the helmet. Upon Squirrel's head sat his new curse, a Piglin Head with a curse of binding enchantment. (SquirrelMC would GREATLY regret this decision in the future, stating he wasn't intending on playing as much as he did.) After the crowning of his new Gold Baron title, SquirrelMC decided that he would rather hang out at spawn around other people than go it alone.

== Vigilante Work ==
Squirrel met up with known killer hunter, [[Th3eternal1]], and became his accomplice of sorts, assisting in the hunting of player killers. During this time, a large chasm had been carved just North of [[Spawn Town]] by RedReaperxd on June 18th with the use of TnT bombers. SquirrelMC assembled a team and began his work of covering the entire hole with a layer of dirt. After around a week, his team completed the task. After this achievement, SquirrelMC would go on to help eternal around spawn with tracking down and eliminating threats to the playerbase. Unfortunately, Squirrel wouldn't eliminate only threats. One day, with accusations thrown against a player named LightGreyPanda for killing a fellow player, SquirrelMC and [[Th3eternal1]] located his logout at spawn town and constructed an obsidian box around him. Eternal brought up the idea of a fair duel to Panda, who accepted. Despite the protests of SquirrelMC, Eternal deconstructed the obsidian and allowed Panda to escape, who promptly fled to 8000, 8000, where he met up with his teammate InternetFound. They constructed a trapped portal, and invited Eternal to the location, where again Eternal dismissed SquirrelMC's warnings. The portal trap killed Eternal in mere moments after he stepped through, and with his death, SquirrelMC would dedicate his time at spawn to eliminating greifers and killers, just like Eternal had. Squirrel's next target was a player named EtoGlazer, someone who had joined in May, and rejoined in late June. EtoGlazer was found leaving Spawn Town to acquire TNT after destroying blocks at 0, 0 with a pickaxe. SquirrelMC chased him down and forced him to combat log, after which he constructed an obsidian lava trap around his log out location. Unfortunately when EtoGlazer joined later that night, he reconnected outside of the trap and escaped.

== Co-Founder ==
On June 25th, SquirrelMC was still hovering around spawn as its guardian. With the construction of the Spawn Dome by Spalmipede, TheCosmicalKing was interested in forming a faction to dedicate to the protection of spawn. (Now that it had a beautiful build). Cosmical reached out to SquirrelMC, and the two formed a discord to discuss their plans for the newly created faction, [[The Order Of The Sanctum]]. The next day, ArtemyTheVorakh would join the duo, and afterward the group would go on to recruit the builder of the Dome, Spalmipede himself, as well as Bemf. The main concern of the Order, and SquirrelMC himself, at its founding was the protection of the Spawn Dome. The two biggest threats to the security of spawn was the trio of trappers, LightGreyPanda, InternetFound, and Ta7zzz. Several small skirmishes would occur at spawn between the two groups, usually ending in a logout stasis being triggered by the Trapper Trios. During this period, SquirrelMC had continued his vigilante work at spawn, constantly patrolling the dome along with Bemf, and ArtemyTheVorakh. Around this time he also picked up a new hobby however, head collection. When a player dies in Legendary Hardcore, their head is placed down as a block to be taken as a memento or trophy. SquirrelMC indulged this hobby of collection as he patrolled the spawn region, amassing quite the hoard, i.e. multiple shulkers worth. With this large collection of player heads, ArtemyTheVorakh suggested that a cemetery be constructed to house the heads. On June 27th, Artemy cleared out an area of a pale forest biome to begin construction, and a day later SquirrelMC and TheCosmicalKing arrived to kick the project off. Utilizing Artemy's wall design, they established a perimeter with TnT bombers and flint and steel and fenced in a majority of the cleared land. Graves were constructed, with SquirrelMC attaching epitaphs to each grave built. SquirrelMC's most notable achievements during the construction was his contribution to Order stores of deepslate and tuff, and excavation of the Cemetery's catacombs, as well as being perhaps one of the largest donors of heads to the Order. SquirrelMC and TheCosmicalKing became close friends over the course of the construction, often hanging out from afternoons until 3 AM in the morning. On July 6th, Cosmical took a two week long break from the server, and during this period Squirrel established another friendship with notable player [[MikoYey]], and generally found himself as a rising pillar of the server's community. Many found him an upstanding and friendly player. On July 18th when Cosmical returned from his hiatus, ArtemyTheVorakh was killed at spawn by a zombie whilst afk. This death was a large blow to SquirrelMC, who's bond with Artemy had grown significantly. SquirrelMC and TheCosmicalKing worked to finish Artemy's half built cathedral at the Sanctum Yard Cemetery in his honor, before declaring their work done on the 25th of July.

== Late Life ==
After the Cemetery's construction, SquirrelMC played a pivotal role in the planning of the Order's next project, Hammerfall. The location was scouted out by SquirrelMC and TheCosmicalKing over the course of a couple of days, before in-depth planning began. Hammerfall's architecture was decided to be a form of High-Gothic, and Cosmical drew up a rudimentary diagram of the base's dimensions, (later refined by Spalmipede). SquirrelMC was among the first to the Order's site of operational planning, and transported the majority of the Order's materials to the site. With the close alliance of [[Team Vortex]] being established, SquirrelMC travelled to the late [[Aqita]]'s base to recover his stash of heads. What SquirrelMC found there would ignite new speculation concerning the [[Dragon egg conflict]], as in the stash was [[Thridz]] and [[Yehomere]]'s heads. Squirrel brought these finds back to the Order, but declared that Aqita did not know where the egg was after a lengthy conversation with the player on discord. After the surprise of finding the heads thought lost, Squirrel returned to his usual routine, killing threats and finding heads. He also helped construction of the Hammerwall around the new base. By this time, Squirrel was one of the most popular figures on LHC, with over 16 days of playtime, and around 7-8 player kills under his belt. That is why it was so shocking to the playerbase when on August 19th, 12:13 AM EST, SquirrelMC experienced kinetic energy whilst ripping through the sky on a riptide trident. SquirrelMC's client experienced a desync before he collided with a mountain, and the lag allowed his totem to be popped and he was killed. This death was most shocking to [[MikoYey]] and TheCosmicalKing, all three of which had formed a tight friendship. SquirrelMC left the server with his final message as "dirt", harkening back to his achievements at repairing the spawn region. Squirrel was also freed of his curse, but of course his mortal coil as well. [[ShyAlly]], an Order knight, recovered Squirrel's player head and piglin head. A few days later, a dual funeral service for SquirrelMC and [[PoorGrammar313]] was held at Squirrel's ranch, where his piglin head was displayed instead of his player head. (Owing to the fact Squirrel's real face had never been glimpsed by anyone except Alcred). Squirrel remains a constant presence in the discord, where he longs to become a reset admin to recover a shard of the experience he had whilst playing on LegendaryHardcore.
