Buildings

The First Mathalian Skyscraper

The First Mathalian Skyscraper, built when the city still was a district in Nebuley, was the largest project  samcarf undertook. With the help of  ZEROCONDA and  ooosaft and many others^[who?]. It is mainly constructed with wool, stone and glass, and was originally designed with abstract white patterns on the front. Its construction necessitated around 40 stacks of stone, 25 stacks of wool, glass, stone slabs and wooden planks among many other building materials.

History

Foundation

Mathaliah was founded in August 2023 by  samcarf, with support from  ZEROCONDA.  samcarf wanted to create a district in which the only allowed buildings blocks would be sandstone, stone, bricks and wood. This idea was quickly scrapped and the district was now dedicated to futuristic buildings. At the beginning, Mathaliah consisted only of a bridge and a small "wishing well" with a rules board outlining strict architectural standards. Despite its promising start, Mathaliah was abandoned shortly after its founding and remained unused until June 2024.

Revival and Expansion

The First Mathalian Skyscraper

In June 2024,  samcarf returned to Mathaliah, initiating its transformation into an active part of Nebuley. The first major construction was the First Mathalian Skyscraper, and the wishing well was dismantled. The construction of the first skyscraper necessitated a very important effort, as a large area had to be dug out to make place for the skyscraper, since the original measurements made by  samcarf in creative mode in 1.21 did not accound for the limited block height of only 128 blocks. This effort was facilitated by the help of many players, most notably  Gazuzz,  ooosaft,  Ingrate and  ZEROCONDA. It was among the largest projects ever built in Nebuley. A border dispute near Mathaliah emerged in late June between Nebuley and Utiopia, a new town founded by  Atalaydavud, and other incidents followed soon, detailed in this page.

Highway to RainyCity

After the founding of RainyCity, a new town neighboring Mathaliah, a border treaty was signed and the first completed Nebuleyian highway, the RainyCity-Nebuley highway, was built and linked both towns through Mathaliah. Soon after, while Template:User-samcarf was expanding roads, the original bridge linking Mathaliah to Nebuley was removed, with the end goal of replacing it with a modern subway station that will be more aesthetically pleasing and could serve as a crossing point between Beetopia, Nebuley and RainyCity.

Independence from Nebuley

On October 27, 2024,  samcarf gained Mathaliah’s independence from Nebuley through negotiations with  Ingrate, its owner and founder.
