Permafrost

The Permafrost faction was originally built and founded when a group of friends on a realm were too broke to keep paying for it. The only notable achievement of the faction so far is current construction of The Glory Hole, the main base of the faction that functions as a self-sufficient city.

Currently, there are no direct enemy or ally factions, but Resh is known to have good relations with notable players such as Tarqshark and Starbaron.

Origin
The faction started as a realm, but the current pay period was approaching, and the host, Resh, was burnt out and was not going to renew the realm. Poro, a personal friend of Resh, had a random phase where he was obsessed with 2b2t, and decided to join it. However, he hated the idea of using hacks, so he went searching for a vanilla anarchy server and wound up here.

As he had escaped spawn in 2b2t, escaping spawn in Purity took less than 5 minutes, but after his friends Resh and Warriors1829 followed him, he realized just how hard getting out of spawn was for most people. As such, he decided to create a series of underground networks with the sole purpose of getting people out of spawn, and the main form of travel was ice roads, thus forming the name Permafrost.

After breaking out a 4th person, Taroxboba, the 4 went to create a faction originally dedicated towards helping people out of spawn.

The Age of Ice
The first base of the faction was a small series of underground tunnels surrounded by mines, with secret passages to navigate through. The base was solely a working base, as every room was occupied with redstone farms. The beds were scattered throughout the base in random locations. During this time, over 15 people were rescued from spawn. At one point, Warriors1829 and Poro had a falling out, when Warriors1829 killed Poro's pet spider. The aftermath involved Warriors1829's bed being obstructed, and him being sent back to spawn.

At this moment, Poro realized that hiding the real bed was a necessity, and set out to make a small secret base where he could place a real bed. Ambition took over, however, and Poro decided that building a giant mansion as the secret base where the bed was would be a better idea. Building a mansion above ground would be a bad idea, however, so Poro set on building the mansion completely underground. The plot was originally a 50x60x30, or 90000 blocks total. After a week or so of mining out the plot by himself, Poro realized that the project would never get done, and had Resh, Warriors1829, Taroxboba, Ninjasloth, and ShrimpAgent help finish out the hole. This hole became the new base, where each member respectively dug out their own plot to build their own house in, and an underground city began.

The Age of Glory
Once the construction of all the underground houses started, the faction decided to work towards turning the entire hole into a massive underground city. To be true to the name, the roads are made of ice. The style of build is modern, with most houses being small and large modern mansions. During this time, over 10 people were rescued from spawn, with about half of the rescued choosing to join the city. As the city was entirely underground, the name "The Glory Hole" was chosen for the base.

Unfortunately, all bases must come to an end, and the naive nature of Poro led to the destruction of the base, after deciding to only move it as far out as X:9752 Z:11890. Kaileyannap was alone in base one day, and saw someone else in the base. She couldn't catch any part of their name except for "dog." After trapping their log point with lava and obby, the rest of the faction decided that it may be time to move. Half of the faction was torn and wanted to risk staying just in case the one person was a solo stray, but just a week later, DB came and destroyed the base.

The Age of Prosperity
After weeks of group travel, permafrost was able to bring about 9 members hundreds of thousands of blocks away from where they were previously. The only goal this time was to be able to build above ground, at the cost of forfeiting any reputation in the trade community. The group became a secluded group, who only build at their new location. Current projects include a 80x80 dome, an underwater redstone lab, and full-sized mansions for each member. There is also an outpost for the faction located elsewhere, for new members who the main faction do not quite trust yet.
