⚜️ Join the Council of Odysseia

The journey continues, and the path ahead has never been clearer.

After months of planning and refinement, I am excited to unveil the complete transformation of our community. What began as Realm of Gaea has evolved into Odysseia

---

> **Here's everything that's new:**

## 🏛️ Server Rebrand & Rename

**From Realm of Gaea to Odysseia.**

Our previous name honored Gaia, the Primordial goddess and first-born of creation in Greek mythology. While the name was aesthetic and meaningful, feedback from the community revealed it didn't quite resonate as the ideal identity for who we are.

**Odysseia** is inspired by Homer's epic poem: the story of Odysseus, a tale of adventure, resilience, and the bonds forged through trials. Every time we game together, we're on our own odyssey: facing challenges, celebrating victories, and building something legendary as a crew.

This name captures the spirit of our community perfectly. It's memorable, it's epic, and it reflects the journey we're all on together.

---

**The Council has been restructured**. Staff roles are now clearly defined with specific responsibilities:

**Head Admin** - Leadership and vision
**Admin** - Supports the Head Admin with appeals, oversight, and major decisions.
**Moderator** - Rule enforcement and community standards
**Bot Manager** - Technical systems and automation
**Engagement Team** - Events, activities, and game leadership

- Check the **Server Guide** to learn more about each role and the people behind them.
