'''Erebus''' (prounounced ''air-eh-vaws)'' was a vibrant city located in the ''End Dimension'' on the [[Dogcraft Server]], [[Survival 3]]. The city was founded by {{Player|dmgdog}} who was quick to ask friend, {{Player|TrainerMoon}}, to assist in the planning and running of the city. Erebus opened its doors to the public during [[Erebus Opening Day]] on the 23rd February 2020. The event lasted 8 hours that included many minigames such as spleef, mini golf, elytra races, and ''Who Wants to be a Millionaire?!'' hosted by Events Team Leader {{Player|William278}}.
 
===History===
The idea of building a base in the end dimension was something {{player|dmgdog}} had been thinking about for a while. However initially, ''dmgdog'' planned the city to be a solo project. On the 10th December 2019 ''dmgdog'' found an island on which he thought would be perfect to situate Erebus in. After posting a screenshot of the map on the [[Discord|Cyberdog Nation Discord Server]], other players were intrigued about the idea of having a city in the end dimension, since it hadn’t been done before on Dogcraft.
 
===The Team===
A few days after ''dmgdog'' started work on the island, he realized that the project would be too large to complete alone, so he set up a Discord Server to be able to communicate with other players about the project. {{Player|TrainerMoon}} was appointed as a second mayor to help organize and watch-over the project, and to assure the city ran as smoothly as possible. After an announcement was made, looking for people to join the build team, three eager players, {{Player|Txp_}} , {{Player|Kingcreeper1|uuid=d6ba0b204ab74ddaa103af9203f5c2c3}}, and {{Player|expedtadam}} all said that they were interested in helping prepare the city for the opening. On the 24th December 2019, {{Player|TigerNL}} was appointed as the fourth builder of Erebus. On Saturday, 22nd February 2020, one day before opening day, {{Player|Txp_}} was promoted to Mayor after their commitment to the development of the city.
 
===Initial Planning===
[[File:Initial City Plan.png|left|thumb|The initial city plan for Erebus]]
After the build team was assembled, everyone was excited to get started. However, ''dmgdog'' struggled to clearly present his initial plans and ideas about the city to the other builders which led to a small amount of confusion and curiosity. It was decided that the city would be split up into 3 main sections; The Main City, the Rural Area, and the Mountainous region. [[File:10 Dec 2019 Start Erebus.png|thumb|Initial map of Erebus|alt=]]A mini-game area was also added to a connecting island, where games will be built for the opening day in 2020.
 
Work began on the server as ''dmgdog'', ''Kingcreeper1'', ''Txp_,'' and helper {{Player|nossi345}} flattened the terrain in preparation for building the city.
 
This was followed by creative building, where the team built a mock landscape and started to design the town hall.

===Final Plan===
After two months of development in Erebus, ''dmgdog'' finally decided on a conclusive plan for the layout of the city. Erebus would be divided over three end islands.
 
====The Main Island====
 
The main island, called ''The City Of Erebus'', was where all the player plots were. Located here were the Town Hall and other important buildings. To the South lay Mushroom Meadows; a more rural landscape covered by magical mushrooms. The swampy marshlands filled with purple gunk fills the centre of this space using glass layers to produce this effect.<br>
[[File:Main island.png|none|thumb]][[File:MM.png|none|thumb]]
 
 
====The North District====
The North part of the main island was reserved for additional plots in anticipation they were to all be claimed on opening day, and this was the case. The Erebus Build Team worked hard after opening day to roll out these plots as soon as possible. This area was a more residential side of town, including the unfinished Council building and Plot contest winner {{Player|Princess223}}'s plot.
[[File:North.png|none|thumb]]
 
====The Minigames Island====
To the South-West of the main island was the minigame area. This area was designed specifically for opening day. It hosted games such as mini-golf, parkour, an elytra course, and an iceboat track.
[[File:Erebus_Minigames.png|none|thumb]]
 
====278 Studios====
278 Studios was the island to the West of the main island, an idea from {{Player|William278}}. Here was the location of one of the many exciting events that were played on Opening Day, hosting ''Who Wants to be a Millionaire''.
[[File:278.png|none|thumb]]
 
 
 
 
 
 
===The Town Hall===
The town hall was the center-piece of the island where information about the city, offices for the builders and founders, and storage/utilities for the builders to use whilst building the city were located.
 
After many unsuccessful attempts at designing the town hall himself, {{player|dmgdog}} asked the build team to help him. {{player|Txp_}} and {{Player|expedtadam}} combined elements of both their designs to create a stately, but practical building. The hall's palette consisted of endstone bricks, smooth quartz variants for the walls, and purpur for the roofs. The interior was a cozy and modern design, with the use of vegetation to add colour to the build.
 
On the ground floor, there were two signs located at the rear of the building that displayed important information about the city. In addition, there was also a gift shop, a set of toilets, and the map of the city.
 
The first floor consisted of 5 office spaces — free for Erebus Builders to design — with a café and common room area.
 
''dmgdog'' and {{player|TrainerMoon}}'s offices were located in the central tower on the second and third floor respectively.
 
The basement was for access of the build team only. However, there was viewing access from the ground floor in the form of a glass window. The basement had a storage area for city projects and a super smelter.

Initial Planning

The initial city plan for Erebus

After the build team was assembled, everyone was excited to get started. However, dmgdog struggled to clearly present his initial plans and ideas about the city to the other builders which led to a small amount of confusion and curiosity. It was decided that the city would be split up into 3 main sections; The Main City, the Rural Area, and the Mountainous region.

Initial map of Erebus

A mini-game area was also added to a connecting island, where games will be built for the opening day in 2020.

Work began on the server as dmgdog, Kingcreeper1, Txp_, and helper 20.png nossi345 flattened the terrain in preparation for building the city.

This was followed by creative building, where the team built a mock landscape and started to design the town hall.

Final Plan

After two months of development in Erebus, dmgdog finally decided on a conclusive plan for the layout of the city. Erebus would be divided over three end islands.

The Main Island

The main island, called The City Of Erebus, was where all the player plots were. Located here were the Town Hall and other important buildings. To the South lay Mushroom Meadows; a more rural landscape covered by magical mushrooms. The swampy marshlands filled with purple gunk fills the centre of this space using glass layers to produce this effect.

The North District

The North part of the main island was reserved for additional plots in anticipation they were to all be claimed on opening day, and this was the case. The Erebus Build Team worked hard after opening day to roll out these plots as soon as possible. This area was a more residential side of town, including the unfinished Council building and Plot contest winner 20.png Princess223's plot.

The Minigames Island

To the South-West of the main island was the minigame area. This area was designed specifically for opening day. It hosted games such as mini-golf, parkour, an elytra course, and an iceboat track.

278 Studios

278 Studios was the island to the West of the main island, an idea from 20.png William278. Here was the location of one of the many exciting events that were played on Opening Day, hosting Who Wants to be a Millionaire.

The Town Hall

The town hall was the center-piece of the island where information about the city, offices for the builders and founders, and storage/utilities for the builders to use whilst building the city were located.

After many unsuccessful attempts at designing the town hall himself, 20.png dmgdog asked the build team to help him. 20.png Txp_ and 20.png expedtadam combined elements of both their designs to create a stately, but practical building.

On the ground floor, there were two signs located at the rear of the building that displayed important information about the city. In addition, there was also a gift shop, a set of toilets, and the map of the city.

The first floor consisted of 5 office spaces — free for Erebus Builders to design — with a café and common room area.

dmgdog and 20.png TrainerMoon's offices were located in the central tower on the second and third floor respectively.

The basement was for access of the build team only. However, there was viewing access from the ground floor in the form of a glass window. The basement had a storage area for city projects and a super smelter.
