Hawthorne
Hawthorne is an impressive and larger-than-life mansion built when the server was still called "Settlers MC".
AtomicLemons, the server's original head admin, built the place and founded the town. A modern villa was later built to the South of the mansion by Lemons' friend, Guildmate; and Lemons agreed to let him into the town. There is also a large anvil building that Lemons built after failing to get permission from Delta or Ugab to build it there. The hope was to use the anvil as a shop where people could come in and pay Lemons to repair their enchanted gear with his maxed Repair stat. The town fell after both players left following the drama that ended Settlers MC.
After the server was revived and rebranded, Hawthorne quickly fell into ruin. MilesBHuff and Middie321 were quick to loot Guildmate's house after Hawthorne's ruin; but server consensus was that Lemons' mansion should not be looted, for fear of its great wealth causing rampant item inflation, trivialization of the game's core grind, an unfair balance of power to those who might loot it first, and concerns that some of the items within may have been spawned-in in creative mode. Many wished for the town's utter destruction, but MilesBHuff was not willing to destroy such beautiful architecture; instead, he claimed the town for the server itself, protected the area with WorldGuard (to prevent looting, in line with consensus), and finished both Hawthorne and the modern villa in creative mode. MilesBHuff then decorated the interior of Lemons' mansion for Hallowe'en (an idea in part inspired by the pumpkin head Lemons had placed by his mansion's door), and every year since, a Hallowe'en party has been held there.
Some time later, a mockup for a town, built by Lemons (assumedly in creative mode), was found in a remote mountain area and WorldEdited into metro Hawthorne. MilesBHuff also added paths to all the features in the once-town.
Since shortly after the inception of SettleScape, Hawthorne has been used for the server's annual Hallowe'en event. The first Hallowe'en (2019) was attended by HowdeyFlowey, MilesBHuff, and ZerkBagu, all of whom received a Zombie Horse Spawn Egg, an unobtainable item that spawns an unobtainable mob. These festivities have been repeated every year thence, though often with minimal attendance, with the same unique item gifted to attendees each time.
During the Hallowe'en party, the whole server is permanently stuck in night time.
