Petrifaction
Petrifaction, according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, is the process of petrifying.
In March of 2022, 
Terrain_Master_Flippeh began to denounce those who stuck a claim on his land. During this period, Nexus Borderlands Hubs began appearing on the map in a broken down and destroyed state. Terrain_Master_Flippeh sent Terrain Dragons to these Borderland hubs, and once a dragon was vanquished, the respective Borderland hub was restored and became fully functional.
<Anna_28> Freedonia and its players expanded in the new terrain and version as a result of EnderLordFlippeh's defeat <

Recordings
Several people recorded videos during the event and posted them on YouTube. Some of these individuals included SketchyPixel, and ScarClaw72 for his Exploring Freedonia Series. LordOfTheShadows took a replay of the event using Replay Mod, and with the help of ScarClaw72 a cinematic version of the finale was released the day after it concluded.
Trivia
Parts of this event happened thanks to SketchyPixel who asked the admin team about the unused borderlands hub locations. Thanks to this suggestion the admin team was able to insert the new borderlands hubs and new nexus designs into the event. As well as 
abamacus speculating about the channel renaming and connection to the nexus. Oddly enough, there were two dragons spawned at Nexus Borderlands Hub South (Lime) 3 in lieu of a dragon at Nexus Borderlands Hub South-West (Light Blue) 1; The reason for this is unknown
Channel Renaming
Along with the above changes in the game, the name of the Discord #general channel was changed multiple times for this event. The changed names recognizably match the runes from the Enchanting Table, although not very precisely since those characters are not part of the normal character set, and are synthesized here by Combining Diacritical Marks.
Here is the list of when each new name appeared, and what the word decoded to:
- March 9th: OCTOGRAM
- the raw text of the channel name was not captured before it had already been changed
- March 11th: BEASTS
- ʖᒷᔑᓭℸ-̣-ᓭ
- March 13th: PROTECTORS
- ¡∷𝙹ℸ-̣-ᒷᓵℸ-̣-𝙹∷ᓭ
- March 15th: TWENTYFOUR
- ℸ-̣-∴ᒷリℸ-̣-⎓𝙹⚍∷
- March 21st: I WILL WIN
- ╎-∴╎ꖎꖎ-∴╎リ
- April 1st: FOOL'S
- ⎓𝙹𝙹ꖎᓭ
There was some debate about some of the precise translations; after the second one was decoded, 
TheDarkrai85 spoke on the issue saying:
The translator isn't perfect, but she'll do. (Also discord handles some special/very uncommon characters poorly)
