Hello all,
With the recent news that came so suddenly, I find myself like many others, suddenly in a position of complete blackout of contact with former villagers, friends and acquaintances. In W3 I was the lawspeaker of Lakeridge, a small but successful lakeside trading village that stayed under the radar but was valued amongst our many trade partners for our quality goods, and especially our access to silver. In W4 I was the lawspeaker of New Lakeridge, a slightly larger, less hidden but just as successful endeavor to develop mutually beneficial trade and make good with the neighbors in the area. Since the first claim stake was laid in Haven we always endeavored to provide something a little different, an alternative to the purely brutal and destructive forces so commonly found, and while peace sometimes had to come with the shedding of blood, we hope that our neighbors felt that they enjoyed the game more with our village being a part of their experience.
We will be back for World 5. Those who wish to get in touch with me are always welcome. Those who don't, we wish you well and good luck. We will see you at the end of the bargaining table, or a sword, whichever you prefer.
