- No central plot/city center - Idol to teleport to for meetings.
- Eventual Player Run and Elected Government.
What are we?
This settlement is a series of individual claims that spread across a river system, connected by a central village idol that acts as a meeting center for the players. Some of us live together, others live by themselves. Ultimately, this is not a village that focuses on maximizing efficiency, and does not engage in the same sort of communal city center that most other villages operate under. We are, essentially, a series of hermits that band together out of an enjoyment of roleplay and cooperation.
This settlement is built on the founding principle of self-determination through ones own action, strong individual liberties such as the right to ones own property and self-governance, and the belief that a Government should not be autocratic, but rather built by a representative democracy.
You will fit in with us if you are:
- A Roleplayer
- Self-motivated and Self-sufficient
- An Active Player
- Capable of running your own claim (although you may ask to live on someone else's claim, it is their decision as to if you are allowed to.)
- Not an Alt.
What will life be like?
You will either start a new character, or have one oath-teleported to our village idol. Upon arrival, you will likely talk to the existing villagers, and stake out an area to claim in the surrounding river system. Help from nearby villagers to get started will likely be provided, and once you are settled, you can trade what you have for what you need. Life is simple, but it isn't without its pleasantries. That said, we often pray to the enigmatic God Jorbtar for his blessing, and to protect us from the evils of this world.
Where will village life head?
When the inn is finished, and the population has risen sufficiently, there will likely be weekly feasts, and a tri-weekly election, that will begin with the signing of a constitution by all of the founding members of the village (members who are active at that point, when it is signed.) From then on, a Government will operate that will exact the will of the people to provide greater organization to the loose confederation of villagefolk. I, personally, will advocate for a central barter bank to ease trade transactions, with a small percentage taken to fund a standing guard, with an appointed Captain of the Guard who will hire guardsmen, who will in turn receive compensation.
Ultimately, however, the operation of the village will fall to the villagers, to decide through the democratic process how things ought to go.
