It is my full belief that you can connect every Minecraft series Joel has been a part of into one continuous storyline, here are some fun examples I thought of:

The Mezalean Matral Palace crumbled and became the cherry mountain in hermitcraft. The hermits move every few years, so do the empirians, so while the empirians were off in their new area for s2. The moss in Mezalea had time to spread and the clay to decompose. So when the hermits moved there not too long after there were no visible remnants of the empires that had once been there. That's why the color palletes of the cities are the same; the culture of the villagers who once were Mezalean stuck to tradition, still following the old goddess.

When the life series first started it was voluntary, they signed up themselves, but the contracts and wavers the watchers had them sign bound them to join the other series' whether they wanted to or not.

'The Mezalean King is Dead'. - ESMP S2 Smallishbeans EP1. That king died. He died from ignorance. From stupidity. Well- the person he was died. His body was fine. But the man who ignored the strange events that happened, the 'lore', he was gone. The new him would take action. Last time everyone was just making shit up right? He could do that too. Maybe he could even be a god like his wife was before, she had been brave and powerful. He could be that for her this time.

MCC invitation letters are sent two weeks before the event, an if you can't make it to the hub and to MCC? That's on you. Those coins are valuable. If you show someone your winners coin it could get you ridiculous discounts at the hub markets, especially if you have more than one.

The first half of this is Why X made Hermitcraft and where everyone came from and then the second half is watcher stuff which I think is really cool.

Ok so I Hc that there are multiple different reasons Xisuma created Hermitcraft 1) was because he wanted somewhere safe where misfits alike could band together as a weird mishmash family 2) a place he knew was safe and 3) to make a place were individuals who were running from their pasts could stay safe

- JoeHills is hiding from a couple of crazy obsessive Exs

- Doc is hiding from mojang

- Scar is escaped his insanely toxic religious family and some people he got on the wrong sides of.

- XB is there after a messy server corruption that was blamed on him and is a wanted criminal.

- Etho and Mumbo are running from scientists

- Impuse and Ren were running from the military cause they deserted.

- Skizz was running from actual gods but they gave up a while ago.

- Joel is trying to find his wife but stuck around on hermtcraft.

- Pearl was trying to escape Evo and really needed help

- Gem is actually a magical princess who ran from an arranged marriage to live out her life as a strong independent individual and since then her kingdom is crumbled and no one knows where the she went and was titled The Lost Princess

- Grian well we all know why he's there

- Cub was part of a super secret government project but left after the scientist lost the subjects and because of conflicting morals

- Bdubs commited war crimes while trying to save someone's life but ultimately he failed

- iJevin was running from the Watchers who had taken a bit of a liking to him.

I have more that I will build upon cause writing this is cool

Now Little bit of context for the watcher stuff I mentioned

Watchers are like god-like deities that were worshipped long before they became corrupt and evil with power, now only followed by cults. Some players still pray to the Watcher Xelqua since they are the only watcher to have gone against watcher code. Anyways They would prey on players scouting out the most talented ones and experiment on them. Seeing how they could change them, they took Grian because he was a promising young admin, they watched the players of Evolution and when the time came they took Grian made him a watcher and he escapes into Hermitcraft.

Xisuma specifically designed Hermitcraft to be watcher proof as 1) he hates them with every fiber of his being and 2) majority of the hermits (himself included) have a possibility of being kidnapped by the watchers if found by Them, for example Doc and Scar they would be seen as extremely powerful potential Watchers.

Doc because of his genius, technological skills and the fact he fought a mojang admin and lived to tell the tale.

Scar because of his strength in magic and that he's part vex.

So when Grian, Mr escaped watcher guy, drops in they're all in fight or flight mode, though most of them are ready to behead G. Obviously Xisuma is the one who handles it and all is good in the end.

The reason why the Watchers would want the Hermits is because they are all 'pure' their raw skills and determination alone is what makes them such a good group,

- Pearl because of her magic and her connection to the moon

- Mumbo and his experiences with cults and the fact that he's a vampire

- Gem and her otherworldly abilities,

- iJevin because his strength and smarts,

- Scar with his magical abilities and vex stuff

- Doc because his technology genius and cause he survived a fight with a mojang admin (he's the first and only one recorded to have lived substantially afterwards)

- Xisuma because of his admin powers and voidwalker power

- Ex same reasons as X

- Skizz cause of his angel counterpart

- Grian cause he's one of the strongest player turned watcher they've made and they want him back

- Etho cause of his cryptic eldritch powers and unknown hybrid status (there is reason to believe he is from the void)

- Cleo because of their skills in necromancy and magic.

And so on

They mainly aim for those who have magic already since they can enhance it and they're less likely to die but that's not always the case.

And that's all I have for now

The hermits don’t really have a designated doctor

Most outsiders assume doc is a medical doctor because of his name but he can only help if a cybernetic needs to be repaired, like Xisuma’s helmet or Scar’s leg braces. Or if you need to break the game in some complicated way.

Zed has some medical knowledge but he mostly uses it for his experiments and most hermits will not trust him enough for that.

Gem has been the best option since she joined, but most hermits do not want to go to gem when she’s who they were just fighting.

It’s been a few months since Empires s2 came to an end and I wanted to make a piece reflecting on the time we spent with these characters 🥰✨ When season 1 ended I did a series of paintings set to the End Poem, and so I decided to revisit the concept once again, making sure to switch up which line corresponded to which person. This series means a lot to me—in fact, this is one of two big Empires s2 projects I’ve been working on! There’s another one still in the works :D

[cam4531]

so this is basically what happened right
