Description:
Ravengrad is the hamlet of hope, the fief of faith, the settlement of solitude. A place where commoners stands amongst the noblemen, where the contributing man gets his drips of sweat measured to his weight in gold. If you wish to find a place where the overman is merely there to take a burden off of your shoulders, rather than breaking your back in hard labour. The givers recieve and the speakers are heard. Nobody will claim your fortune within our high walls. We can provide protection, seeking alliances with fellow societies, rather than waging wars like bloodthirsty imperialists. Tradesmanship, craftsmanship and kinsmanship are the ringing words that drives our progression to new levels, each day growing a bit stronger, a bit more prosperous, and, a bit more safe.
What we offer:
First of all, eight walls. Four of them have a roof, which you may call your home, an abode, a suitable getaway from the harsh deceptions of the wilderness. Then the heavy palisades that keeps our village and it's homes bound into the solid and loyal union that renders itself to expand as the moon cycles. Secondly, safety, the essential element that defines survival. Thirdly: Opportunities, if you can swing an axe, a fishing pole or a sword, you can consider yourself a lifelong asset to our community, if you can craft or construct, we need your able hands, if you can brew or tan, you're part of the prosperous blood that runs through our fief, that renders it so glorious.

Our concept:
It's simple, everyone has their role, and through that, we all complete eachother, a butcher gets food from a cook, and leather from a tanner for his resources, and so on. Everything is stored in a common storage where everyone can take resources with the appropriate permission, and then add new items that were crafted through them. It's a dynamic trade, where the market is survival and supplies.
Our village:
- Near the water
- A lot of space
- Has the leaders needed for it to be an official village
- A lot of ground for farming
- High stockpile in supplies
- A tavern
- A high wall
- Allied with a Russian village (gives us a chance to negotiate our way out of any offenses)
