I found a modded SMP that is growing fast and trying to build a fantasy world with real lore. The story is about dragons and monsters and the land is full of them.
It uses Ice and Fire so you can look for dragons fight them and even tame them. You can try being a monarch with a kingdom or a warrior or just run a tavern and do your own thing.
There are multiple nations close to each other and they want builders fighters redstoners and more. There are also other monsters plus custom structures and dungeons to explore.
The world border is kept fairly small so players stay near each other and it will expand over time. Players are pushed to form settlements and houses with other players.
PVP is allowed but random nonstop killing is not the vibe and can get you punished. PVP is mostly for planned war stuff though some shenanigans are still welcome. The server is whitelist only so you have to apply.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPMineX Towny SMP on Custom Map
MineX SMP is a survival server that feels like it wants you to actually live in the world and not just speedrun it. It runs on 1.21.11 and it uses a huge 8K by 8K custom survival map made for exploring and settling down for the long haul.
The main thing people do here is Towny. You can claim land start a town build protected areas and team up into nations. It also leans into player made politics and a survival style economy so towns and groups can grow over time.
There is also a custom enchant system so combat mining and gear progression has more options than normal. The server is still being worked on and new areas and systems keep getting added as it develops.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
