Kingdom of Derglandia
The Kingdom of Derglandia was founded by Waffelo and Jacob in the first days of the DrgnzCraft server. And it is currently the oldest and most prosperous faction on the server. It has became a hub for civilization on the server, as other players built their bases nearby. This faction is quite friendly and helpful as long players respect it's building and expansion zones.
Note that the early stages are not well documented and is mostly from old screenshots, logs and memories. The base was established at approximate coordinates of X-2110 Y-9800. The first notable structures would include The Planning Room which initially served as a storage space, before the first storage was built.
History
2023: The beginning
In the absolute beginning of the faction, there was a search for a hill with village nearby. This was because dragons like hilly places. Once ideal place for a base has been found, Waffelo and Jacob set up a temporary base in one of the houses in the village by the lake. The first placed block in the faction was most likely the chest in the starter base, which is there to this day in memory of the beginnings. The started base was forgotten as soon as they decided to settle in the mountain behind the village. The first landmark of the faction became the "WOOF" text in the grass on top of the mountain.
At first, the idea was to build a simple small base inset in the hill. It was supposed to be a couple rooms interconnected by hallways. The first rooms were the planning room and the "pelech" next to it. The ground floor at the entrance from the village was connected via the main water elevator room. And from there rapid growth began. The growth began by the construction of the storage room, which became the center of the faction. This part is known as the lower fortress.
The first automatic farm was the iron farm at the ground floor where the entrance from village is. It was crucial for all other builds like the imperial railway, smelter room and other creations. This was also very useful for tools, since diamonds and netherite was not very available at that time. Right across the iron farm, a simple experience points farm has been built from the obtained via the SilkSpawners plugins.
The Imperial railway became the most valuable transportation method before the thing that made everything much easier was obtained. The railway spanned from the storage room in the lower fortress to small island in the lake near the village. And then branched out to Azkoonn's base and the desert outpost. The link to the desert outpost was built under the water, entombed by glass with a view into the water.
Some other significant builds created during this period include the pink gay tree house, fortress farms, desert outpost. And some smaller comfy builds like the balconies or Waffelo's hidden den.
2024-2025: Prosperity and Stagnation
This era of Derglandia is known for its first massive builds and colonial expansion. Many Imperial Outposts were established, for example, in the desert and jungle, to which railway transport was built. The trading hall was built, along with the Imperial Library. Other projects include the fortress Aquarium, expansion of the village cross-sea and the great border wall which was left unfinished.
In the year 2025 there was not much progress done at all and for that reason it is known as the year of stagnation, however at the same time this year has brought us the Renaissance era, in which some of the most notorious projects are still being built.
2025-present: Renaissance
Since November of 2025 to this day, an era of extreme activity is seen in the kingdom. Some of the largest and most notorious builds were built during this era such as the Aula Infernalis, the large underground hall which connects the rest of the underground together. The Automatic Storage was also built, which auto-sorts all items into their own chests, which makes excavation of the rest of the base much easier. The Imeprial Pipeworks were established, which is a system of item delivery which seeks to connect, eventually, the entire kingdom to the item sorter.
A big theme of this era's builds is deepslate mixed with copper blocks. Lava also plays a role in the various hallway designs, as the builds are prevalent near bedrock.
The Fortress was also built, which is the main dwelling and base of operations of Waffelo and Jacob.
Relations
Builds
The Underground
The Underground refers to the large underground complex connected to The Fortress. The center of the underground is the Aula Infernalis, to which all other underground builds are connected. Other underground builds include Imperial Pipeworks And Storage and Aquatic Station.
While still work in progress, it is a multiple year plan to expand the underground with farms, factories and other builds, focusing on efficiency while retaining an aura of magnificence around the whole base. It is Jacob's "Magnum Opus" of his minecraft builds.
Other honorable mentions include the Nether Highway, which connects the world of DrgnzCraft together, though not very different or interesting from other nether highways.
The Fortress
The Fortress refers to the city located on the top of the mountain in the center of the kingdom. It consists of several parts, namely the Castle, Old City, Center, Greenhose, Church, Army and more. It is the capital of Derglandia and the main dwelling of Waffelo and Jacob.
The lower fortress refers to part of The Fortress which is located inside the mountain and consists of numerous hallways, sleeping quarters, a hotel, non-automatic storage, trading hall, Library, aquarium and more. It is also colloquially called the original fortress or original base because it is one of the oldest structures in the kingdom.
Transport
Outside of elytras, there are essentially two other means of transportation, that being the railway and the aquaduct.
The Railway
The Railway is a railway system which connects the kingdom, other player's bases and some Imperial Outposts. They are connected via stations and sub-stations, which are:
- Lower Fortress substation
- Island substation
- Desert Market station
- Industrial Area sub-station
- Station at lightwo's
- Station at Azzy's
- Jungle station
Sub-stations are stations which have two or more intended destinations, while stations can only go one way.
The Aquaduct
The Aquaduct is a water canal system above ground which can be traveled through with boats. It is heavily inspired by alpha-era boat canals. It connects several important parts of the Upper kingdom: The Industrial Area, The Fortress, Azkoonn's memorial and The Cross. Several "stations" can be found, where the player can hop off and use an elevator to reach ground. The idea and build is by Waffelo.
Outposts
Imperial Outposts are locations which are claimed by the Kingdom but are outside of its borders. These are colonized regions and they are entirely under the control and claim of The Kingdom. Usually these regions are form farms in specific biomes or just nice places.
Desert Market
The Desert Market is a location roughly at the coordinates -X 2850 and Z -9250. It is a build that resembles a shopping mall, except it's under ground and made mostly out of sandstone and terracotta. In the market there are several shops such as the computer store, post office or Dragon harnesses and saddles.
The build was started first as a means to get sand for glass, but later it was decided to make it into an outpost.
Oceania
Oceania is an upcomming outpost near the end portal, sea, prismarine farm, frozen ocean and mushroom fields biome. This outpost will be the kingdom's main access to sea. The goal is to make construct a ship dock and an elytra tower roughly at the coordinates X -3900 and Z -10900.
