I went to Baalel&#8217;s house that&#8217;s sitting on the hill. If you looked at angry&#8217;s blog you&#8217;ll see what I mean.<br \/>I saw this relativity flat, island-like area that&#8217;s NW of his house. Decided to hop on my rowboat and take a look. Upon getting there, most of the area was infested with Oleander bushes. I very carefully tried to explore, since there where so many bushes, I couldn&#8217;t scan the ground for hostiles.<br \/>I stopped and looked around, then noticed &#8220;Combat&#8221; flashing in red next to my Event. I saw my opponent, an Adol starving croc. Ran back as fast as I could to the boat. It followed me in the water as I tried to row for my life away from the land, and the croc. It took a few bites, still following my boat until it eventually gave up and swam in another direction.<br \/>At this time, Baalel was on. I asked if he could take down the croc. He said no. Though I should&#8217;ve asked is if he could help me take it down. Alittle later he wanted to go see it. So I showed him and he spotted a raft, sitting on the shore. I couldn&#8217;t examine or take it because of another croc. We got back ok this time without it following us.<br \/>Alittle later, angry logs in and does a few things, then I tell him about the land.<\/p>\n<p>Jumping a few parts with the crocs, there&#8217;s a village North of the land I&#8217;m interested, called Pirates Cove. So I&#8217;m fucked there. Can&#8217;t slap the deed down. Angry shows me Tir Tochair, and this other place he thought of that&#8217;s also relativity flat. It&#8217;s Southeast of the village. It looks good and I believe it might work. But there&#8217;s also this island he wanted to show me. So we got in his sailboat and went near to Small Bears. Actually, this island that&#8217;s east of Black Hills.<br \/>As we head there, angry tells me he&#8217;s going to go to a racetrack with his dad, and will be gone for nearly 6 hours(which I&#8217;m still waiting for now)  and tells me to give him a full report of the island once I explore it.<br \/>So I get there, and.. it has writs. 4 of them. 2 of them have the name of &#8220;Everlight&#8221;. So I&#8217;m thinking it was the village&#8217;s name. The more I explored, the more I wanted to live there. It has two &#8220;farms&#8221;. Possibly a farm and an animal pen&#8230;but how? Only for bears, rats, and crocs? So I&#8217;m guessing two farms.<br \/>I went in this central writ, named &#8220;Sethorion&#8217;s villa&#8221;. It has a cart in it, named &#8220;Everlight Town Cart&#8221;, so that&#8217;s my proof that the settlement was named Everlight, and it was possibly a size 5 village. There&#8217;s two forges, one having 49.26QL, and the other, slightly higher one; 52.92QL.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a shitload of Marsh tiles on the island&#8217;s northern side. That&#8217;s 1 of the 2 turn-offs of this place. The 2nd is the underwater mine, with 1 Iron ore deposit.<\/p>\n<p>So I have 2 options. Try to contact the previous owners of this.. Everlight village, or go on and plop a deed down at that other area.<\/p>\n<p>They both have their pros, and cons. Such as follows;<\/p>\n<p>The Island&#8230;<br \/>+It&#8217;s an island!<br \/>+Already made mine. No unnecessary work.<br \/>++Has boat docks.<br \/>++Has forges with high QL.<br \/>+Is in close proximity to NewTown and Small Bears.<br \/>++No hostile threats.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;Has four writs on it, but are decaying.<br \/>&#8211;Marsh tiles.<br \/>&#8211;Mine underwater with only 1 iron ore deposit.<br \/>-Not alot of room to expand. Restricted to the island.<\/p>\n<p>The other land&#8230;<br \/>++Lots of space to expand.<br \/>++Near the ocean.<br \/>+Close to the village.<br \/>+More pine trees.<br \/>+Doesn&#8217;t look like hitting rock will be an issue&#8230; but looks can be deceiving.<\/p>\n<p>-Will have to make a boat dock.(angry can help)<br \/>-Will have to make a mine.(angry can help)<br \/>-Will have to make a forge.(angry can make)<br \/>&#8211;Sol will be behind me&#8230;again. I enjoy seeing the sunrise\/sets of Sol and the eclipse.<\/p>\n<p>As you can see, I have a tough decision to make. But whatever the place, it&#8217;ll be called &#8220;Dragonhead&#8217;s Pad&#8221;. I&#8217;ve decided to keep him.<br \/>Going to the island has more positives. But also more negatives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Been looking half the day today for a new place to live, and having no luck.
