Reckless courage, brilliant coordination, and one very decisive sword swing rewrote the history of the server.
In the darkest hours before dawn, when sensible citizens were sound asleep and the server was quiet, four warriors crept to the End Portal and did what many had spoken of in taverns but none had dared attempt: they went through.
The raid — executed under a joint banner of The Flower Capital and its allies in Hyphohydropolis — was swift, violent, and, according to eyewitnesses who were definitely there and not just told about it the next morning, absolutely spectacular.
“It didn’t even see Blank coming. One moment there was a dragon. The next, there wasn’t.”

The company of four
The raiding party consisted of SlimeObi, whose tactical acumen is matched only by his appetite for dragon eggs; King Ham III, whose royal title apparently extends to ordering ancient cosmic creatures off their own thrones; StJaymon, who sources close to the operation describe as “crucial, dangerous, and extremely hard to photograph mid-combat”; and Blank, the warrior who would ultimately deliver the killing blow and earn a permanent footnote in server history.
The battle was not without peril. The Ender Dragon, ancient and reportedly furious about the unannounced visit, unleashed its full fury upon the intruders. End crystals were smashed. Endermen were agitated. At least one participant likely lost their footing on a pillar and will deny it forever.
Blank lands the blow. Wano takes the spoils.
In the battle’s climactic final moments, it was Blank who struck the decisive hit, sending the dragon into its death spiral and etching their name into the annals of the server forever. Exactly how this moment unfolded is disputed only in the fine details — the result is not.
As the dragon’s form dissolved and the portal yawned open beneath the end fountain, SlimeObi moved with purpose. The dragon egg — singular relic, symbol of dominion over The End — was claimed for Wano. Whether this was a pre-arranged agreement or an impressively fast political maneuver is, at this time, unclear. Wano’s rivals are advised to take note.
Diplomatic reactions from other nations were not available at press time, as most of them were asleep when it happened and are still processing the news. The Flower Capital is expected to hold a formal reception. Hyphohydropolis has not yet commented, though their involvement is not disputed.
