The Beginning

Long ago, the First Player spawned in this world. He travelled far and learned much about this world. Many of the world's inhabitants were unfriendly, and this Player grew as equally skilled with sword as was he was with running. His book, "The World as I Know It" contained all the knowledge he accumulated throughout his travels. He built the first Village, fashioned guardians out of iron, and planted the roots which would allow the Founders to survive the First Night, and many nights to follow. Afterwards, he disappeared. His last message was a cryptic epilogue in his book, a series of numbers which are believed to be far-off coordinates and the message "Watch the EYES don't fall the portal will answer"

The player called himself Steve and was distinguished by the incredible monuments of architecture he left behind. Many still exist today, such as the Elder Ruins or the High Temple. Many people have attempted to find Steve, but all have either returned empty-handed or not returned at all. The most recent clue found is the mysterious Music Disc 11; the sounds recorded is believed to be some sort of message from Steve. The most promising analysis is from a symposium of researchers who postulated that the unknown sounds at the end may be some new mob not yet encountered, or some sort of dimensional travel. Whether he travelled to the End or the Nether is unknown, but both introduce daunting questions.
