Elyndor

The Elyndor server is an SMP with an open backstory (open lore). This means the server features a foundational narrative that players can expand upon through gameplay and events. All publicly available or revealed information regarding the server's history can be found on this wiki. Elyndor's official founding date is February 22, 2025. The creators of Elyndor – primarily sinnaz3153 and Nomam_ – were supported in their development by eight other people; this group is commonly referred to as the "Elders." Elyndor launched publicly on March 23, 2025, with its first season, titled "The Cycle Repeats."

The backstory for Season 1 and subsequent seasons should be largely complete, as the events took place publicly and are publicly known.

Concept

Lore

At Elyndor, much revolves around the backstory (lore), and this fact influences numerous decisions regarding the server. The philosophy underpinning the documentation of this history can be illustrated by the following quote, as Elyndor strives to remain true to historical reality:

"History is written by the victors."

The already established backstory of Elyndor has a strong influence on the events in the world. However, this aspect is of minor importance for season 3. The story began with the start of the "Lamic Time" on December 21, 2021 at 12:30 PM, when the Elders created the multiverse of Elyndor. Since then, the multiverse has steadily expanded and evolved. The backstory of the "Purple Layer" emerged in two distinct ways: through Minecraft and through the so-called "Lila Lama Karte." Both paths shaped the story in their own unique ways.

Following the official release of "Elyndor Season 1: The Cycle Repeats," the approach to shaping the backstory (lore) underwent some changes. Players were given the opportunity to create their own nations, languages, cultures, and/or religions; This allowed them to help shape the story of Elyndor on a deeper level, going beyond simply creating conflict or peace while playing on the Minecraft server. The specific terms governing how players contribute to the lore, or how that lore influences events within Elyndor, vary from season to season. While the majority of lore development continues to take place directly through in-game activity, the more in-depth aspects of the story are fleshed out on the Elyndor Discord server.

Planets

Planets and custom generated worlds or interplanatary concepts have often times been a core part of Elyndor. Since the offical launch, elyndor has concentrated themselfs on custom generated worlds as of planets.

The travel between worlds also plays an important part in Planets. Since the offical launch the travel between worlds is paid but in the past there were other side effects such as time travel.

Season 1

In The Cylce repeats there were 6 planets at the launch and 9 at the end of the season excluding Nether and End.

Season 2

In Ashes of the Cycle there was only 1 planet excluding Nether and End.

Season 3

In a new beginning there were 3 planets, 1 replacing the nether, excluding the End.

Nations

Nations, cultures, religions and languages are an important part for the advancements in the elyndor lore. You as a player have the choice to create your own nation, cultures etc. if you want to. You can create any of those in any way you desire, may it be as complex as a real nation with an Ideology, political systems or a National hymne, may it be as simple as a minecraft team trying to control researces, you can choose how you will write history.

Creation of Elyndor

After the events of the Purple Layer sinnaz3153 and Nomam_ decided to make the server and its concept public under the new name of Elyndor.

Sinnaz3153 handled all technical aspects of the server's creation including the development of the Elyndor servers, the creation of custom plugins, world generation, the Discord server, the websites, and general maintenance. Although Nomam was also involved in these areas, sinnaz3153 made the greater contribution. Nomam, on the other hand, is primarily responsible for Elyndor’s world-building and storytelling; he designed virtually every aspect of the world-building, with the sole exception of a few events that evolved independently.

The other "Elders" also contributed to the creation of Elyndor. For instance, they were involved in the "Purple Layer", thereby helping shape the server's backstory and its very existence. Luwaiss deserves special mention, having served as a trusted server owner during the initial months of Elyndor’s development. He assisted in building the first lobby and participated in decisions regarding the server's design; however, due to dissatisfaction over his neglect of the server, he was demoted to a regular member—though he was later granted the Discord role of "Co-Woner" to acknowledge his early contributions. This role features an intentional typo meant to symbolize a "broken" title, a detail that also stems from an internal meme dating back to the "Purple Layer" era.
