Thank you for filling out the application! We'll get back to you ASAP. Don't forget to put this in a spoiler!

After Quatzl Kimo tells you to go to the Kusmetchin people, you are directed to either a tunnel that takes you directly to the next part of the story (the outside of the city), or do a side quest and kill the sewers' arachnid inhabitants. After you bring the chief guard (white-robed villager) the King Spider's Golden Stinger (gold sword, custom drop), he gives you 4 diamonds. You can trade these diamonds for iron armor (1 diamond per piece of armor for sale at a blacksmith nearby) or make them into swords, whatever you wish. After you go through the tunnel, you are deposited outside the walls, with the city behind you and a vast, frozen tundra in front of you. You walk through the area, encountering either a lumberjack in his hut (brown villager) or an NPC village that looks like it's been snowed over, with various things inside the chests, like half-damaged tools and armor, and various foodstuffs. As to which detour you put in, it is up to you. After your side-adventure, you arrive in the Kusmetchin city of Mostovkina, a former port city that has a large frozen lake where the ships used to dock. Now, they grow potatoes and farm bison (pigs retextured). Your book should say to go to the Town Hall and meet the mayor. The mayor meets you and tells you he will not talk to you until you have found the Golden Fleece. (yellow leather chestplate). After trading a random item (like rotten flesh, leather, something to placehold), he gives you a book, telling you the coords of the Golden Fleece's last location. After travelling there, you must defeat a few redstone traps and slay the boss, Helger of Kusmo (zombie with iron/diamond armor and drops the golden fleece and his armor). After you bring him the golden fleece back, he gives you a book in exchange for the golden fleece. The book tells you that the Kusmetchkin capital is (direction/coord), and that you need to speak to the emperor. That ends part 2 of the writing (or map, if you want to end it here.)

You wake up in a tent in an archeological camp. Various chests are in various tents, with bows, swords, armor in the mercenary's tent, heal pots, regen potions, and speed potions (re-skinned to be medical packs, blood bags, and pep pills/ energy pills) to be in the medical tent, and etc. Anyways, you wake up in your camp to find everyone dead (with redstone blood around). You go to the head archaeologist's tent to find him slain too, but with a map in his hand (chest or dispenser/dropper), and a log in his chest. Unfortunately, the map was ruined, but the log says to head to either coordinates or a direction (depending on if you want this to be a Rei's/Zan's minimap compatible map or if you want this to be just vanilla). You and your companion, who is buried beneath some rubble (stone/cobblestone) caused by a truck exploding (pickaxe is found in an item frame or somewhere in the camp), head out to the coordinates/direction that the log said to go. There can be some side-quests along the way, like helping out some nomads with their cattle or finding water for them, or some small dungeons, like a desert temple ruin or a small, ruined village in an Oak Forrest. When you arrive at the coords/ see a gigantic jungle city, you and your companion go into the entrance to said ruins. There, you encounter a couple redstone "couple" puzzles (like your partner having to press a button and you jump across something) (or, for the SSP aspect, a "singlet" puzzle that's at an alternate entrance blocked off in the main map). After you enter the village, you see that everything is in ruins, but that there are strangely no bodies or any signs of living things. However, you see that the livestock and crops in the cities agricultural district have been kept fed and are growing rapidly. You then see a lone person in a small building (villager), who disappears below ground. You and your partner follow him below ground to find an entire city in the ruin's sewers, and that the sewers no longer carry filth, but clean water. A guard holds you back, asks what you are doing here, and then lets you through after you choose the correct responses (Responses could be: Guard: "What are you doing here?" You: "A: We're here to kill you and your family (then a dispenser shoots out Splash Potions of Harming)." or "B: We're here as strangers to this land. We mean you no harm. (redstone opens the wooden barricade)" After you enter the village, you are taken to the village elder/priest (purple robe), and a rose is given to you via dispenser or command block. You then give it to the priest and he gives you a book with more coords/ a different direction.
