History

Within the first twenty minutes of the start of Session One, a player led an exodus out of the world's savannah spawn in order to find water for farming. Upon finding a small ocean bay nestled in a valley between two steep cliffs, he instructed those who followed him to build a farm and a bridge-like sky base between the cliffs to protect them all from mobs. This player was proclaimed King of the new nation, which that same session took the name Bridge Valley. Over the next two sessions, he continued to manage the nearly thirty-person settlement on his own; the sky base was expanded extensively and the Iron Age was reached. For his stalwart leadership, he became called the "God King."

During Session Three, the God King created a formal government structure featuring class-based Delegates and a Dual Regency, as he was going to be offline for the remainder of the session. While he was gone, the criminal known as the "Slasher" raided the settlement and destroyed its farm, chests and beds. There was an attempt by the regents to relocate the civilization, but this fell apart due to player confusion, and when the God King returned for Session Four the civilization was declared dissolved. Former members of this civilization can be found in Fungaia, the Levant, and Attican City.

Government

At first, the nation was led by the God King on his own. Due to the chaos that comes with running a settlement of that size, he later created a guild system with Delegates (heads of their respective guilds) and Deputy Delegates (who would take over as Delegate in the event the original Delegate went offline). He also created a Dual Regency in case he were to go offline himself, made up of the Miners' and Healers' Delegates – one for the brute labor that the world forces us to endure, and one for the helping hand that guides us to the light of tomorrow.

Foreign Affairs

Bridge Valley was on friendly terms with Fungaia before the latter's relocation, but has had almost no contact with them since that point.

Military

Culture

Where the God King first died inside the sky base, there is a small shrine covered in redstone dust (from a brief period at the beginning of the Trial when players who died dropped redstone as "blood").
