The Village of Väinölä is now recruiting players of any experience and skill level. We are a peaceful nation, seeking trade with our neighbors both near and far, and alliances of mutual defense with villages of similar bent.
We are seeking two kinds of players:
Villagers: Residents will live within the village proper, and share in both its work and its rewards. We have found ourselves blessed with abundant resources, and a need of those who will be willing and able to put in the time of turning those resources into the strength of our growing nation. Residents get their hearth fire inside the main city walls, and a slave key to see their way in and out.
Residents can be of any skill set, though a list of our most needed can be found below:
Foragers/Explorers: Just like it says on the tin friend, we need folks who like to wander, explore, and keep an eye on the goings in the region around our village center.
Hunters: We have a couple decent hunters, but their hours are either sporadic or split between many jobs, limiting their success at all of them.
Miners: There is no shortage of mineral wealth in our kingdom, and strong backs and patient minds are needed to change it from raw ore into the materials needed to help us prosper.
Warriors: Warriors can fall into a couple of categories, and generally run second to the tasks above. Warrior/Explorers are those charged with scouting specific areas of our terrain to keep an eye out for settlers, unwanted development, etc. Warrior/Miners are the fisticuff heavies, charged with handling the less polite method of conflict resolution when trouble comes to call. Warrior/Hunters are most often the archers of the group (some of us like punching our quarry to death). While we need warriors and protectors of the realm, they also have to carry their weight in times of the (hopefully) more typical peace.
Various and Sundry: Carpenters, Seamstresses, Cooks, and general labor, we need it all! If you aren't specifically interested in the tasks above, send me a PM and we'll talk about how you fit in to the grand scheme of things.
Townsfolk: So what are townsfolk I hear you say? Townsfolk are not beholden to perform any specific labors within the city walls, and are granted their own plot in a designated area in what is to become a small community south of the main city. They are responsible for their own plot security, but will be watched over by those of the main city. In the event that you experience trouble (being killed, stolen from, etc) we'll be there to handle it for you. Through political machinations or the edge of a sword, we'll do everything in our power to get you justice, or just help you rebuild.
So what's the catch?: Depending on the size of plot you wish to occupy, there will be a payment sent to the village proper. These can come in many forms, from foragables in the form of food and curiousities, wax from your hives, and flax never-ending (Quality is irrelevant so you don't even have to be a farmer to pay this way!)
Our neighbors are friendly, the area is quiet and largely unoccupied, and the company is good, come join us! Applications accepted via P.M.
