The Regency of Leon, or simply Leon, is a settlement on the Survival 5 world of the Dogcraft Server under the curation of its City Planners strawberrysham, eybwam, ashapink, and zacattack2097.
Overview
Leon aims to be a diverse, integrated, and sustainable modern-day city project that creates unique experiences. Drawing heavy inspiration from real-life, the city will feature many opportunities for various styles of architecture set in three different zones around the city: Traditional European, Modern, and Industrial.
Further information on the other zones will be released later. Contact a City Planner to be put into the application process.
_______________________________
Districts
Downtown
Status: Closed
Conceived as the heart of the city, Downtown was designed to be an example of Leon's architectural vision: a melting pot of historic European and contemporary styles in a vibrant and curated streetscape. It is located on both sides of the river separating Leon and Saint-Pierre island. The Thalic Gallery, an amphitheater, is nested on its north side. Meanwhile, the resplendent Leon Grand Central on its west end separates it from Oldtown. Across the river at Saint-Pierre island, a set of sample buildings were constructed that reached skywards, providing a delicate visual backdrop, and paving the way for the modern district's eventual opening.
Old Town
Status: Open for Applications
Opened in the 3rd of June 2022, Oldtown is the district south, northwest, and west of Downtown. This area manifests traditional European architecture.
Government
Status: Open for Embassy Applications
The seat of Leon's government opened its gates to foreign embassies on the 9th of October 2022. Located northwest of the city, an arterial avenue morphs into an elliptical road, adorned with an obelisk centerpiece of Leonidas, Leon's canonical founder. South of the avenue is the Embassy Row, a block of plots reserved for construction of consulate buildings from other settlements on Dogcraft. Across the road, government buildings will be constructed. These will include a bank, a fire and police station, among others planned.
Historically, Dogcraft's city halls were designed after distinct Neoclassical cues such as porticos and pediments, akin to the White House. This time around, Leon has opted for an Italian-/Mediterranean-style villa as its palace.
Saint-Pierre
Status: Open for Applications
Saint-Pierre is the island east of mainland Leon. It hosts the other half of the downtown area. This island district is envisioned to be the benchmark and template for Dogcraft's future modern cities. It will manifest both contemporary and traditional architecture that uses holistic and sustainable designs through mixed-use, integrated, high-density style principles. This district opened on the 23rd of December 2022, during preparations for the New Years' Eve Event.

Acquiring Citizenship
Leon is organized in a private Discord server. Like prior settlement projects, Leon's application process was crafted to further collaboration and, consequently, to oversee and ensure quality of builds. There are three ways to become a Leon citizen:
1. Buildings
- Firstly, an applicant must be able to construct and design, of their own or with help, a build in creative. The application is reviewed, modified according to feedback, and ultimately approved if it satisfies Leon's standards. This has to then be transferred to survival to get the role.
2. Interiors
- An applicant will satisfactorily furnish all floors of one empty building to Leon standards.
3. Ambient Builds
- Ambient builds are small, accessory details that are added to give life and human element to the city. These include vehicles, trees, set pieces, stalls, etc. The quantity, difficulty, and quality of these are then reviewed to the City Planners' satisfaction. Normally, an applicant would have to request to build at least five approved versions of these.
Below is the roster of Leon's citizens.

A Photographic Tour of Leon:
Oldtown's staple building, Leon Central Station. This building was one of the first to be planned for the city. The build was done in an creative build session with the four city planners way before we had concrete info announced on a reset. After completion, we knew the building would have to be a centerpiece for the city leading to us essentially growing the entire city around it.
The underbelly of the station featuring the rail hub of Leon central. This interior was the master mind of several builders but without question this build owes much to both Trainermoon and Mika_Panda without whom the build would look very different. This bottom area inspired by irl subways will feature both Leon transit to Regency specific stations and the official Shepherd East Line.
Another angle of Leon central station but this time featuring a Leon sign made up of the three Leon colors. This build was meant to serve as an iconic photograph location akin to the real life namesake photo opportunities. This build and idea comes from eybwam directly.
This photograph features much of the main rush of the downtown area that was built in preparation for the NYE event hosted in Leon.

Regency
Leon is one of several Regencies of Shepherd's Greater Eastern Lands. For the purposes of this article, a Regency is an area categorically controlled by one or more Regent/s. Leon's Regents are its City Planners. The immediate lands outside of Leon are part of the Regencies by invitation or agreement. All Regents are involved in inter-area infrastructure or lore.
_______________________________
Lore
Before Leon, there were several kingdoms all fighting for dominance over the region's resources.
This was the Immortal Feud. A war with no clear cause: Neither side could tell you why they hated one the other: they just did.
The son of a nobleman, now a soldier fighting through this chaos was Leonidas. (Son of the Lion) Who would become the namesake of the regions capital
One night in a dream, Leonidas is guided from the battlefield by a lady cloaked in moss.
Years later he returns to the battlefield exactly as he was, as though not a day had passed. In all that time the war had raged on, still without end.
Emerging from the ashes, now framed with new guidance Leonidas emerged, prepared to guide the people towards prosperity.
Leon his namesake city was born
City Symbols
Below is a table of Leon's symbols.
| Category | Symbol | Meaning and Representation |
|---|---|---|
| Flower | Cornflower | |
| Colors | Orange | Leon's forward-looking ideals and creative, energizing spirit of its members. Orange provokes elation—this project is worth being excited about. This can also represent the classical parts of the city. |
| White | The color represents the ironic rendering of Leon's obscene amount of materials and detail as effortless and elegantly simple. | |
| Cyan | Linked to the heavenward direction of its more modern district. | |
| Object | Crown | The emblem of Leon, a crown represents the canonical absence of a prime leader among the group, hence the regents. It also represents the achievements and ambitions of Leon as both community and project. |

A pumpkin patch was put together by zacattack2097. Participants had to search for 20 pumpkin miniblocks to win a prize. Dragon Fights. Players fought the dragon for four weekends.
