(Sorry for my English.)
There is idea about city for everyone, open city.
Maybe "Rome" is appropriate name.
Basis:
Rome is not a spot, Rome is people;
not be afraid of death (hearthling`s death );
city square should be open for everyone;
don`t claiming lands near city;
to light hearthfires near city, in different places, some is more far, some is very close, with simple words as Hearth Secrets, or even "Rome1", "rome2", Runestones near this hearthfires directing to Rome (with text); this, maybe, can not only just makes ways to Rome, but can increase the "chance" of meeting between people, can make a "meeting territory";
if something happened to city square, to relocate it (somewhere near);
"All roads lead to Rome." roads, roads, roads; from hearthfires, from villages, even from another edge of the "world", maybe(?);
maybe, worst thing against it is occupation (claims, walls, etc.);
if "alts" is allowed, it can be very easy, maybe;
just "new character" and to try;
but, maybe, some people can want or can need to use old characters.
Bonus:
maybe there can be big mighty city, though this is not aim, aim is meeting people;
(or something less:
maybe some hearthlings can make Village Claim (not to occupy city square, of course, but to defend it from occupation),
maybe, some garden;
maybe, legion of Rome).
I planned to ask about place, but now I (maybe not me, but one who made Hearth Secret below) found not a bad place, maybe.
There is a Hearth Secret (not mine), maybe it is safe to write it: "Rome".
Maybe, to try it just now(!). To read the Runestone, to find the place (hint: two Runestones, text contains "Rome") and start to Lay Stone somewhere near making first city square.
Any thoughts?
