    Introduction:
    I have been working on this map for a very long time. Not much of it is done because WorldEdit had not come out for 1.8 at the time of me starting. So, I terraformed by hand. That took forever, and I quit. Now I'm back with 1.8 WorldEdit, which will make building this colossal map easier since I'm building it alone. I have a Minecraft Build Team; however, no one joined. I will periodically update this thread, or create a new one if this one exceeds a month without a post. Expect a trailer for this map when it's done. Enjoy!

    Relate these definitions into the background, and it will all make sense.

    Map Background:

    Welcome to Marhold. Well, what's left of it. The Nature Preservation is all that remains intact because of its positioning on the grid system. The housing area has been obliterated, and Old Ivory, the forest, has dwindled in size. All of this is thanks to Nount Incorporated, the Hydroelectric Corporation. Human error is normal, but sometimes it can lead to a catastrophic event. This just so happens to be one of those times. A few miscalculations, add a little greed, and you'll end with some explosive results. Unfortunately for Marhold, that led to a drought, and some chunks of plaster and metal piping managed to welcome themselves into your Bayview window. I really liked that window too. It had a nice view of the town square. Some people refused to leave and made refuge in Old Ivory, which spans from the edge of Nount Inc.'s property lines to the Nature Preservation on the opposite side of town. Eventually, all the homes were abandoned, even in the forest, and the people set out on their own. Nount Inc., being the gracious souls they are, decided to make some cash off of the town's misfortune. Now, what was once full of life is now an arena in which tributes fight for glory, similar to that of Rome. Welcome to Marhold, ladies and gentlemen. We hope that your stay here is adequate.

    Sincerely,
    Stephen Nount
