History
Beginnings
The original Seneca was created from the remains of the Brom Township camp of PvE revision 4. Legend has it that WaterSlide, the last to depart the camp on the long walk to the new Brom, presented Chow_D with the keys to the city that was to become Seneca.
Through the hard work and dedication of Chow_D and the residents of Seneca, it became a flourishing town within sight of the mobile spawn baloons of PvE 4.

Setbacks and Hardship
Only a couple of weeks before the map was to be reset, a huge techinical issue caused large parts of the map data to become corrupt. The original Seneca was not spared from the great dataclysm, and was lost forever.
In the aftermath, the residents rallied to the cause, quickly replacing what had been lost with a vibrant new settlement that included a memorial tower, a wheat farm, public food chests, a chicken coop ("The Great Pit of Chicken"), a park, a suggestion board for the new Seneca, and many private buildings. Cake was a popular food during this time.
The Spirit of Seneca
The City of Seneca has grown from a derelict camp into one of the largest communities on the PvE server. It was not started with any specific mission in mind, but came to embody certain defining principles, including:
- no barriers to entry, anyone can be a citizen
- a large settlement close to spawn
- lots of citizen participation in public buildings
- an open, unwalled city that promotes and provides transportation links to the wider area
General Info
Land for Seneca Revision 6 was claimed on the first day of the new map, and ambitions were rising high. Seneca is now a quickly growing city just north of spawn. Seneca has also given rise to a lakeside residential neighborhood and a panoramic skyscraper district based on an ambitious ocean reclamation project. All are welcome!

Resident Creations (Add your own, its easy!)
robisONE Tower
robisONE Tower is a project that started on the second day of Revision six. Inside, it is lava lit, has multiple farms, storage areas, and even a small ranch, home to cows and previously pigs. It was the second skyscraper in the Skyscraper District (closely following Spiral Tower). Open to the public are two observation decks; the upper Observation Deck A features panoramic views of Seneca, and the lower "Gotterdammer Memorial Deck" is open to the elements. Adrenaline-seeking tourists can try leaping to the adjacent tower, it can be done! For an added challenge, turn on /gin and set FOV to Quake Pro!

Skybridge Towers
Twin towers, Skybridge Tower I and Skybridge Tower II connected by a bridge, built by jhenriksen and Unbakedmocha. The main floors were designed by jhenriksen and the top edifices and bridge were designed by Unbakedmocha. The towers are residential, with three floors with two apartments per floor. The fourth floor of Tower I has jhenriksen's penthouse, and Tower two has Unbakedmocha's. Each tower's lobby has a fountain and boards with rules and a resident directory. The towers are open to the public and accepting residents!

The inside of Skybridge tower II: offers 12 rooms for anyone to stay!
The Thirsty Miner Pub
Located in downtown Seneca in a former bank building, the Thirsty Miner is the product of owner kustomdeluxe's love of booze and dive bars. Featuring two pool tables and three beers on tap, the Miner is the place to go after a long day in the mines, or before that long minecart drive. Who knows, you may meet that special someone there at last call!

Doubletree Experience Grinder
Just outside of Seneca, this easy to use experience grinder is free for all to profit from. When standing on a marked Mossy Cobblestone block, zombies spawn out of a nearby spawner, and are carried away, up, then dropped from a height that leaves them with hardly any health. The outside has been modeled to look like a pair of giant oak trees (due to neighbor complaints). Inside, you will also find a fully shelved-in enchanting table for spending your newly earned experience.
The grinder is most effective during times when the server is emptier due to mob lag. Come visit today! Coordinates are -100, -550, Just outside of Seneca!
