History WebVideo / Mianite

Season 2 began on January 31 2015, with one of the major changes from season one being the inclusion of mods, and its setting in an AlternateTimeline. At first the plot consisted of saving the town of Dagrun from the approaching Taint, which threatened to destroy all the surrounding land. However, it quickly became clear that Mianite runs a much tighter ship in this realm than the other, and his followers are less than accepting of those who follow other gods.

On April 5th, 2020, Jordan and Tom began a spinoff series by the name of "Mianitian Isles", which seems to a prequel of sorts to the events of the previous series.

* OneSteveLimit: Averted. There are currently three Toms running around.

''Mianite'' was a {{VideoGame/Minecraft}} Let's Play series hosted by [[https://www.youtube.com/user/CaptainSparklez CaptainSparklez]], [[https://www.youtube.com/user/OMGitsfirefox Omgitsfirefoxx]], [[https://www.youtube.com/user/IIJERiiCHOII ii_Jeriicho_ii]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/user/TheSyndicateProject Syndicate]]. Other participants included [[https://www.youtube.com/user/Champwan Champwan]], [[https://www.youtube.com/user/16bitDec 16BitDec]], Josh and Tony from [[https://www.youtube.com/user/Modestep Modestep]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/user/jameshayes3 Waglington]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/user/OpTicNaDe OpTic_Gaming]]. The Youtubers streamed for two hours daily on Website/{{Twitch}} from noon to two o'clock PST, and all posted varying degrees of edited videos on their channels.

''The Realm of Mianite'' began as a vanilla Minecraft multiplayer server in June of 2014, hosted by Tucker "Jeriicho" Boner and Tom "Syndicate" Cassell, who were later joined by Sonja "Omgitsfirefoxx" Reid and Jordan "Captain Sparklez" Maron. While the first season began without intending to have a narrative, a story gradually began to pick up steam as the series went on, and the four major players became "The Four Heroes," starring in a LowFantasy story centering around their antics as well as the gods who had chosen them as their champions; [[GodOfGood Mianite]], [[GodOfEvil Dianite]], and [[GodIsNeutral Ianite]].

On April 5th, 2020, Jordan and Tom began a spinoff series by the name of "Mianitian Isles," which seems to a prequel of sorts to the events of the previous series.

Please note that while there are at least three fan-made wiki pages claiming to be official, none of them are endorsed by any of the members and all backstory on them should be taken with a grain of salt. Make sure whatever goes on this page is official, and keep fanon to WMG.

** The revival of Mianite as Mianitian Isles potentially renders the story arcs from season 2 as this. The breakup of Jericho and Firefoxx (and their own CreatorBacklash to Mianite) meant newcomer Lrakinidas took their place as the champion of Mianite in that season. Likewise, the other minor streamers (including [[AscendedExtra Waglington]]) are also absent aside from Declan. While Syndicate and Sparklez continue onward, aside from a brief cameo from [[ButtMonkey Guard Tom]] (due to his body actor [=MrMadSpy=] returning for that season), none of the season 2 characters return, [[spoiler:and those who jumped with the streamers at the end, like Andor, Martha, Mot, and Gaines, never return either]]. Andor's body actor even [[DroppedABridgeOnHim announced his character's death]] when deciding to walk from the series. The show's nature as a prequel also meant the season 1 era versions of the gods were explored, negating the story arcs related to [[spoiler:the alternate heroic Dianite going with the heroes to replace his evil self, and Martha succeeding her mother Ianite as the goddess of balance]].
* AscendedExtra: In the first season, Waglington just appeared every once in a while. In Season 2, Wag is essentially the fifth hero.

* BattleCouple: Tucker and Sonja often fight together in the series, taking on many mobs side by side. It helps that they are (or were, following their breakup after season 2) in a relationship IRL as well.

** Sonja and Jericho accidentally [[AccidentalMurder killed Jefry, Tom's "son."]]
** [[spoiler: Jordan [[WhatTheHellHero allows the Ianitas to be sacrificed]] in the hopes of reviving Ianite.]]
* DoNotTauntCthulhu: [[SarcasmMode Yes Tom, insult the Gods]] [[TooDumbToLive to their face.]]
* GentlemanWizard: Waglington is pretty much the friendliest person in Mianite.

* JerkassGod: Regardless of whether they are supposed to be good or evil, both Mianite and Dianite have a tendency to be dicks to their chosen heroes. Averted with Ianite; in Season 2 she openly hangs out and makes friends with the other Mianite characters, and both versions have shown nothing but support for Jordan.
* LiteralCliffhanger: Season 1 ended with the heroes jumping of a cliff into the void. This is also used in season 2 when the heroes jump into the void at the end of the season once more.
* NoFourthWall: Since Mianite is a Let's Play rather than an actual web series, the players casually refer to non-plot related things. There are, however, moments when they are supposed to be in character, but they break it anyway. Averted with it comes to the NPC's. Ianite's [[spoiler: final]] message to Jordan indicated that the Minecraft world is all the inhabitants of Ruxomar know.

-->'''[=Jordan=]:''' Are you purgeturbed?\\

* ShipperOnDeck: Tucker went so far as to build a marriage altar for Captain Capsize and Jordan in Season 1. He also shows support for Jordan and Ianite in Season 2. Sonja gets in on it too, the two of them even suggesting to Ianite that she move in with Jordan.

!!Season 1 provides examples of:
* BigBad: Dianite is the ultimate Big Bad of the series, but Furia tries to usurp his role at one point. He was unsuccessful.
* DamselInDistress: Ianite in Season 1, and later Captain Capsize.
* DidntSeeThatComing: In response to Jordan's supposedly unrighteous stealing of Dianite's armor, the god teleports Jordan to the combat ring and summons a wither. The wither fires some shots at Jordan and flies away to wreak havoc elsewhere.
* TheDragon: Guardian Furia served as this for Dianite, until deciding to [[TheStarscream usurp him]], which didn't end well for Furia.
* DragonWithAnAgenda: Furia rose up in an attempt to usurp Dianite.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Mianite wasn’t meant to be a roleplay server, so many of the early episodes are your typical vanilla Minecraft Let’s Play.
* GodOfEvil / GodOfGood: Dianite and Mianite, respectively.
* OhCrap: The sterling examples are the Tank of Judgement, when Dianite finds out that Jordan won Tom's extremely powerful armor through the purge, and the end of Season 1 when Dianite has a final showdown with the four heroes.
!!Season 2 provides examples of:
* {{Alternate Self}}: [[spoiler: All four of the main heroes, as well as Waglington, have one of these. ]]
* AlternateTimeline: Season 2 takes place in one of these.
* AntagonistTitle: The alternate Mianite serves as the main enemy of the season.
* BigBad: It sort of fluctuates. Near the beginning of the season it was the Taint, but switched to become Helgrind after his stance on the other gods became apparent. After he was [[spoiler: banished to the Nether]], the new Big Bad became Mianite.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Jordan is ''very'' protective of Ianita, Ianite's mini-me who views Sparklez as a big brother, and doesn't want anything to happen to her.
* BigDamnHeroes: Averted. Though the Wizards show up late to the Taint problem, and seem like they are going to use their mighty Wizard Powers to vanquish it...they really don't do much but show Team Reester their badass new base.
* BloodMagic: Tucker has gotten very talented at it.
* BrokenAngel: [[spoiler: Prince Andor, a WingedHumanoid, had his wings cut off when he was imprisoned at the Inertia. Thanks to Jordan, he eventually gets a new pair. ]]
* ButNowIMustGo: [[spoiler: Ianite after much heartbreak and becoming [[DePower DePowered]].]]
* {{Butt Monkey}}: (Ex-)Guard Tom. His treatment certainly makes the heroes look...not-so-heroic really. [[spoiler: It comes back to bite the heroes in the final episodes. ]] Most of the players inflict this on each other too, distributing copious amounts of death and destruction amongst Team Reester.
* CatchPhrase: Whenever Farmer Steve appears, he'll say "I'll give you a right rumble, mate!" at least once.
* DePower:
** [[spoiler: Ianite was being gradually drained of her powers, later revealed to be the result of World Historian sapping at her quintessence, which is why she returned to the End and had to say goodbye to Sparklez.]]
** This is also why Waglington is no longer a Wizard; his magic was drained by a particularly difficult teleportation spell.
* [[spoiler: DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: Jordan and Waglington cleanse the town of Taint and took on the [[HumanoidAbomination Taint statue manifestation]], almost completely destroying it.]]
** [[spoiler: BrokeYourArmPunchingOutCthulhu: It came back the next day as a gigantic unstoppable EldritchAbomination with CombatTentacles that it uses to assault the town and infect its grounds with taint.]]
** [[spoiler: Although played straight later when Ianite returns and kills the beast DeaderThanDead herself.]]
* EldritchAbomination: [[spoiler: The Tainted Statue manifestation that shows up near the town. Although it was human-shaped enough to qualify also as a HumanoidAbomination at first, [[BrokeYourArmPunchingOutCthulhu when it was destroyed by explosives it returns even bigger,]] sprouting CombatTentacles to assault the town and [[OneWingedAngel dropping the "humanoid" part completely.]]]]
** It even is titled in the chat (when it speaks) as "Abomination."
* DivineParentage: [[spoiler: Ianite is revealed to be the King and Martha's mother. ]]
* TheExile: [[spoiler: Tom ]] was banished from Dagrun after he revealed that he worships Dianite. Subverted in that he isn't all that torn up about it.
* FakinMacGuffin: [[spoiler: [[HumanSacrifice Jordan allows four of the Ianitas to be sacrificed]] in order to revive Ianite, not knowing that the original is in Martha's care. When Mianite finds out about the original he orders Jordan and Tucker to find it, [[UnwittingPawn even after he said that the four Ianitas had been enough.]] Grown suspicious, Jordan makes a decoy Ianita and has an [[BadBadActing acted-out "confrontation"]] with Martha in which he kills her. Jordan than gives the decoy to Tucker, who kills it, sparing the original Ianita. Everyone bought it.]]
* GodOfEvil / GodOfGood: In Season 1, Mianite was the God of Good while Dianite with God of Evil. In Season 2, [[spoiler: their roles seem to have reversed, with Dianite being on the heroes' side and Mianite being sketchy at best.]]
* [[spoiler: GreyAndGrayMorality: In Season 2, Mianite is using questionable means to keep his people in line, and Dianite only shows his true nature to Farmer__Steve and Tom. Though to be fair, it's justified in that its speculated his own brother killed him, although it later turned out he didn't actually kill him.]]
* HellholePrison: The Inertia, by the way it's discussed, is not the best place to find yourself.
* KatanasAreJustBetter: The Kikoku, the very sword used to kill Season 2 Dianite.
* MerchantCity: Dianite's dwarven city is described as something like this.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: [[spoiler: Jordan accepted Lieutenant Al's offer to clear the town of taint in exchange for a powerful weapon, ignoring Martha's warnings as to what would happen. As a result, the taint returned the next day as an enormous, unstoppable monster. ]]
* TheNicknamer: Farmer__Steve enjoys giving nicknames to people it seems. Syndy for Syndicate, Wagz for Waglington, and Sparklybum for Sparklez.
* OhCrap: [[spoiler: Jordan's solution to destroying the taint proved to be counter-effective.]]
** [[spoiler: Pretty much everyone’s reaction to Dagrun being turned into a wasteland.]]
* OtherMeAnnoysMe: [[spoiler: When Dianite returns, he asks what he was like in the heroes' realm. When Jordan tells him, he responds that "other me is lame." ]]
* SdrawkcabName: Tom's AlternateSelf is named Mot.
* ShipTease: There are many hints at Mot and Dianite possibly being in a relationship. [[spoiler: Becomes canon in the final episode. ]]
* TheTease: Martha the Mystic is Farmer Steve's girlfriend, but that doesn't stop her from flirting with all the guys on the server.
* WingedHumanoid: Many characters, such as Prince Andor, King Helgrind, and even the Heroes due to the presence of Angel Rings.

* WhamEpisode: Deviser_Gaines and Mianite want Dianite resurrected.
* WhamLine: Apparently, Mianite is not really the enemy.
-->'''Mianite''': Despite what you have heard about me, it is in my interest to see Dianite revived.
** There is also this line found in a book in Sparklez' inventory...
--> You trust too much. Do not. Question everything.
