Arcus

History of Arcus
Arcus was founded on the 10th September 2019 by EzObi and Popcat and consisted of around 12 members at its peak. Most Arcus members spent their days farming at the base, with a few making trips to the end to get elytras and other riches for the group. Arcus planned to become a strong faction, with many players coming from a factions or pvp background, but many members went inactive and the group disbanded after a few months.

History of Members
EzObi met MovingDirections, or Popcat, on another anarchy server, but due to the low playerbase the two of them decided to move to Purity. Obi then told his faction members about the server, and Arcus was formed.

Most of the Arcus members came from a factions background. This consisted of EzObi, Juliaaa, Matthew_, ilya_kuv, Tysonios, Lay_Z and Ragnar_PT. They were all bored of factions and when Obi recommended for them to play Purity, most were on board with the idea.

mrbean56, PunkFlorist, SovietSmithy, aeveree and njzj were recruited after the group was established, as well as a few other members who I cannot remember the names of.

Imanity
Imanity was the name of EzObi's faction from the factions server, and he decided to use it for Arcus' first base. It was mainly planned to be a temporary base, where the members could get gear for a journey further out. Imanity was expected to be found soon, as it had tunnels leading straight to a portal 10k blocks from it. There are no images of the base, but it consisted of several AFK fishing spots, a main watchtower in the middle of the base, a church on a hill and small houses and dugouts where members kept their valuables, as well as cane, pumpkin, melon, cactus farms, villager breeders and a trading hall.

Ice Highway
Perhaps the most successful build the group participated in was the construction of an ice highway from 5000 blocks away from the nether hub to the portal 10k blocks away from the base. The highway was over 30000 blocks long and was built by around 5 of the members, including Popcat, Obi, ilya_kuv, Matthew_ and mrbean56. Sadly after this highway was built many players went inactive, and the highway is now mostly gone due to the 1.16 nether reset. The goal of the highway was to make trading at spawn and travelling to an end portal easy, as it shortened the journey to spawn from several hours of walking to a 15 minute trip. This highway was mainly used by Popcat as the rest of the members preferred to farm at Imanity rather than make trips to spawn and the end.
