New Tonyville, formerly called Brodville, is the name given to the spawn village in Wellstowne Boogaloo created primarily by Burrowdizzy, Immabed, and SpoiledBIO. The village is primarily meant as a residential area for villagers, as part of the Minecraft 1.14 villager mechanic changes, as well as a location for Burrowdizzy and BWJC's Mega Lodge 2.0.

Lore

Pre-existing structures

Before New Tonyville was founded, and before even the ancestors of New Tonyville's residents discovered the area upon which the village stands, prior beings built ancient structures which have since been incorporated into the village itself.

The Old Tower

The origins of the leaning tower that stands on the East of the village is unknown, but it is clearly a very ancient building. It is built on stable land, at the highest point of all surrounding land, but in the eons since its construction the tower has tilted nearly 30 degrees. The design of the tower indicates it was clearly designed for defence, with machicolations and battlements built around the top of the tower. It may have once defended a castle or other building, though any remnant of an adjoining structure is long gone, being eroded by time. Nothing else is known about the tower or the beings who built it.

The tower has since been incorporated into the Mega Lodge that covers most the Eastern hill, and new floors have been added inside the tower, level with the ground, in place of the long decayed original floors.

The Library Ruins

The only other structure that remains from before the villagers found and settled the land now known as New Tonyville is the base of what is now the library. The origins of this structure is not fully understood, but ancient writings indicate that the old leaning tower was already ancient and leaning when the base of the library was built. The building was mostly eroded and only the outer stone walls remained when it was discovered by explorers many moons ago, but archaeologists discovered several ancient tomes within the ruins. The tomes suggest that an ancient masonic order, possibly of monks or sorcerors once studied in the building, though there are varied opinions on the reliability of translations.

Early Settlement

Discovery

Explorers from the continents first discovered the island of Caseus Nova a few hundred years ago. Several small fishing settlements were established over the next several decades, including one where the current New Tonyville fisheries are located. None of these original settlements still exist, but they were successful exporters of fish for nearly a century. Word of the ruins that were discovered on the island made their way back to the continent, and another wave of colonists arrived at the island. These were not fisherman or explorers, but archaeologists and scholars, and they quickly took an interest in the ruins that form the base for the modern library. In fact, the new colonists set themselves up almost entirely independently from the fishing settlements, and seemed to have brought great wealth with them, for they would periodically buy food from the fishing settlements, but produced no goods with which to trade, purchasing instead with continental emeralds, which the fishermen then used to buy goods from the merchant vessels that would visit to buy fish. The scholars quickly built a roof for the ruins and took residence inside it.

Isolation and Independence

Over time the fishing settlements became more self sufficient, as residents began to specialize in some of the trades that let them produce their own tools, clothes, and other necessities, rather than trade for it. This increasing sufficiency also led to a consolidation of the settlements, and the largest and wealthiest settlement began to see the other colonists moving to it, though it still had no formal name. The increasing self-sufficiency could not have come soon enough, since merchant ships from the continents were arriving less and less often. The power and wealth of the continents was beginning to fail, and they were becoming embroiled in internal disputes, famines, and political upheaval. There was less time and money able to be devoted to sea-faring, and the colonists on Caseus Nova were all but forgotten, though the few ships that still made the journey brought back much needed fish.

During this time period, the scholars, still secluded in the Library, constructed an addition, a second storey above the old ruins, and the occasional outsider caught a glimpse of scribes furiously producing tomes, and shelves filled to overflowing. The scholars continued to buy food and other goods from the colonists, and by this time the continental emeralds had been so widely circulated on the island, that it became the de facto currency, replacing the trade of goods for goods for more and more of the island's residents. In fact, those few ships that still arrived at Caseus Nova no longer had additional goods to sell, and so the emeralds became useful only on the island itself.

It was not through any war or great treaty that Caseus Nova became independent from the continents, but simply through increased isolation. No concrete date could be given for when the island became independent, and no one particularly cares. The degredation of the continents left Caseus Nova to handle its own
