Official Flag of Nebuley

Flag of Nebuley is a symbol of professionalism, unity and stability. Blue background refers to endless skies stretching above Nebuley, dark blue stripes surrounding the middle represent the dream of spreading our lands far and away. Above and below the emblem there are two Latin quotes which stand as principles for the people of Nebuley:

Anyone is free to join Nebuley. The official procedure to join the village is to message a Nebuley assistant asking to join the city. New players in the server are promised a free bed (free bed policy) to help them during their first days.

Building Rules

General Building Regulations

To create an aesthetically cohesive and organized town, 16.png Ingrate created a set of 4 rules to regulate construction in Nebuley:

  1. No floating trees are allowed, and members of the town are obligated to fully cut them.
  2. Replanting trees after cutting them is measure taken to counteract internal deforestation.
  3. Paths must follow the same standardized template as seen in most parts of the city.
  4. Buildings must be evenly spaced.

Building Style

There is no unique and defined building style in Nebuley. In the old part of the town, most buildings are constructed using rudimentary materials such as wood and cobblestone. Floating graffiti (pixel art) can be seen in some parts of the city, mainly little hill.

Districts

Official Nebuley's district layout as of June 2024


Nebuley has known many segmentations and divisions. As of June 2024, the current districts are:

  • Old Nebuley, also known as The City Center. It encompasses the entire old town, and the snowy hills.
  • Little Hill, encompassing most residential buildings located behind the Block Museum and beside the old town.
  • New Nebuley, a new and modern part or the city still under construction. It covers the sandstone canal,

  3. Outland Branch Line (OLBL) - separate branch line which isn't directly connected to Nebulink (yet), it serves as a quick travel option between Villager's Hollow, the Museum of the Future and Mathaliah.

Nebulink Overpass

The Nebulink Overpass is a cobblestone bridge linking 16.png ZEROCONDA's charcoal company (via the Block Museum station) to a terminal next to 16.png samcraft3's underground railway (leading to his bunker) and the Sandstone Canal.

ZEROCONDA's Charcoal Company

16.png ZEROCONDA's charcoal company is a medium-sized tree farm dedicated to farming charcoal. It is located next to the Lapis Harbor and the Miners' Guild. It is used by many members of the town.

Lore

  • This is an unofficial lore of Nebuley town and nearby lands.

Dwarven rule

Over a thousand years ago, the lands people call Nebuley nowadays weren't inhabited by the Ancient Builders or their descendants on that matter. Local Dwarven clans ruled the realm - fighting countless civil wars and mastering the art of ore smelting and smithcraft. Current armor, tool and weapon look has originated from the greatest minds of Dwarven blacksmiths. Deep caverns rich in valuable resources and stone provided a safe place for Dwarves. His Majesty, Burgamli the First, whom was graced with royal blood and soon after claiming the throne he formed the Stone Council consisting of the High King, Dwarven Princes and Paragons to ensure efficient and smooth workflow. However little did he know that his rule would soon come to an end.

Ancient Curse

Dwarves were never fond of Ancient Builders claiming that their weakness and strong belief in magic and sorcercy were off-putting. Burgamli the First was the one who was proven right in the end. Due to unknown circumstances a curse spread among the land turing humans into wicked versions of themselves, yearning for flesh and death. Even hardworking Dwarves were unable to resist it. Soon, clan after clan fell as their memebers turned into the undead, and fortress after fortress fell to their knees. The High King had no choice, but to move underground and create metropolies carved in the stone where no harm would come to them. Unfortunately, Burgamil fell terribly ill and soon enough he was on his way to join the rest of the monsters roaming on the surface. Thus he decided to be locked away, where he could meet his final days in solitude. Not long after his son - Khurnim - took the name Burgamli the Second and claimed the rule over his clan.

Life under the surface

Dwarves quickly addapted to a new enivroment and quality of life. They learned how to grow crops underground and breed animals that saved, even how to brew some beer. Burgamli the Second was a ruthless rule, he didn't tolerate weakness thus he ruled with iron fist. It didn't take long until different clans stumbled upon each other during numerous excavations. This of course lead to many conflicts and minor battles. One of those was the battle of Obsidian Keep which took place 1015 years BSS (Before Server Start).

The Battle of Obsidian Keep

On of the deadliest battles of ancient ages between Clan of the Stone Pickaxe (lead by the High King Burgamli) and Clan of the Deep (lead by general Nemith Hornbrewer). Burgamil's troops outnumbered Nemith's garrison of 30 men. In order for the king to claim large vein of diamonds he had to get past the Obsidian Keep - small fort build entirely out of obsidian, little did he know that he and his 150 men would suffer a terrible casualties. Members of the Clan of the Deep quickly turned the tide of the battle as dozens of enemy troops rushed at the gates and walls with weapons and ladders. Defenders used lava buckets and TNT to slow down the attack. Unable to force his entrance, Burgamli decided that they should mine their way in, no matter the cost. This turned out to be a fatal decision, garrison troops quickly found out about the plan and set gravel traps for the upcomiNG army. In the end remaining troops were burried under the gravel and the High King was forced to retreat claiming one of the worst defeats in Dwarven history.

Tale of the Wicked King

Excavated entrance to collapsed Dwarven City

When Burgamli the Third took over the throne, he had to deal with new problems. Ancient Curse planted it's seeds underground and mob infestation began spreading at worrying pace. Undoubtedly, the High King was a brilliant strategist, but men couldn't defend themselves forever, especially when underground clans were suffering the same fate as their counterparts from the surface. He ordered his most trustworthy and inteliigent scholars to discover a way to fight off the invaders. After months of hard work, Dwarves presented the first ever Iron Golem to the king. Strong and loyal, being powered by magical energy was enough to convince His Majesty that this is the right choice. However loyalists with Paragons and Princes among them, who despised magic formed a secret alliance that was supposed to threaten the rule of Burgamli the Third. Constant sabotages and assasination attempts quickly drove their king mad. He began to see treason everywhere. In 843 BSS he ordered to build Zana Baor (dwar. Stone City) which was meant to accommodate his family and most trusted allies.

His madness progressed as began to create ridiculous rules and regulations. Soon, the family and his friends slowly began turning away from him, as he fell more and more into his sorrow and craziness. About 809 year BSS he disappeared into the caverns and never returned. Without the king Dwarves became divided once again, fighting for the throne. Eventually leading their kind to extinction.

Aftermath of Dwarven Fall

Empty cities quickly were taken over by the infected monsters and as the time progressed many of these metropolies collapsed burying their story deep under the stone. Ages passed by and so did the memory of Dwarven clans. In 9 PSS (Post-Server Start) first descendants began to settle down in the area of Nebuley. Building majestic builds and expanding their territory soon they began finding single clues of the ancient history. This lead to the arrival of Dwarven clans from another continent to seek hidden knowledge and prevent their heritage from fading.
