== 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.
