The Heartland

The Heartland is a region of the world that was explored by the Empire before its collapse. The Emperor sought its valuable resources and picturesque terrain for expansion. Upon The Departure and the death of the Emperor, the Empire's grip on the region slipped. Imperial settlers dispersed and the original inhabitants returned. It is the main staging ground for the Sequel SMP.

At the center of the Heartland lies the Great Plateau, a snowy forest raised far above the surrounding area. The top of the plateau is accessed by a grand staircase which leads up to the Dueling Towers.

The Heartland gets its name from the heart-shaped river flowing through the northern reaches of the region.

In the weeks following The Departure, the area was christened with a large christmas tree built by JumpyJay and a large shed built by Jacob77346, which houses many chests and the Heartland's Nether Portal
