Xythe
Xythe (pronounced like "scythe" but with a Z sound instead of the S sound) was a large town, founded on September 30th, 2015. Xythe created its own nation, Jonah, but Jonah merged with Arkstal on March 12th, 2016(and later, first fleet on 8/6/2016. Along the northwest wall is the Nord's Tower, a towering lighthouse, and a canal runs 250 blocks north to the swamp, where a sugarcane farm is found.

Zachisosum, Erunno and Schnitzengruber explored for 3 days trying to find a decent place for their town. They found a roofed forest bordering a swamp and a mountain range, all on a river. On September 30th, 2015, town hall was set up and the rules were established.

Stance
Xythe holds a neutral stance on all wars, even if it is part of a nation that is currently at war, the people will still be considered neutral until the town votes to get involved. This hasn't happened so far.
History
On July 7th, 2016, Schnitzengruber added (An H name that I forgot) to the town, right after Dimshoe told him not to because he was a bandit. Turns out he was right. He killed Schnitzengruber several times until he was pushed out of the city walls, then he returned. Shame isn't it?
Griefing of Xythe
While Schnitzengruber wasn't active on the server (about late july), Xythe was griefed. Multiple houses and the library took what appears to be TNT damage, though not too much loot was taken from the town. However, the library found a few of its book collections missing, including the Eye of Ender books. This included the old, 2015-era code book (obtained and signed by Death2Defy), and the Cyanius and Chrysolentius (both spelled wrong, and obtained by Schnitzengruber in a discovered vault). On the front of the library was an eye of ender in an item frame, and 3 black flags replacing the normal Xythe flags. This could be a bandit trying to frame the eoe, but it seems unlikely.
Destruction of Xythe
On September 18th, 2016, the battle of Xythe occurred during the Axis War. Xythe was disbanded in the midst of battle, right before the Axis forces were going to drive off the Allied forces. Not much loot was taken from the town, including the full sugarcane plantation to the north of it, which when harvested, gave over 4,600 sugar cane.
