[color=gray] The planet that this story's setting is called [b]Gaia[/b]. The intelligent races that occupy it are the ambitious humans, the hardy dwarves, the free-thinking elves, and the mystical orcs. Most of Gaia is still unmarked on maps as the continent of [b]Astraia[/b] is large enough for the four races to each have their own territories, and is rich in resources to be utilized equally among them. There has been a number of wars in [b]Astraia's[/b] past, but it's been hundreds of years now that the races have lived in peace- allowing civilization to begin flourishing out to the borders that once remained unexplored by the Astraian people. The year is now [b]1200 d.d[/b] and the country has reached its first [b]Industrial Revolution[/b] thanks to the dwarves, coal-fueled constructs are now starting to be invented though still quite rare.[/Color]

[color=gray]Hillhaven was recently founded by [b]Cresta Dustwallow[/b]. It's location is nestled just beyond the [b]Mosscrag Mountain Range[/b], which was only fully explored a few years ago due to its dragon infestation. The valley Hillhaven finds itself in is quite beautiful with its countless rollings hills, grasslands, forests, a few rivers, and a large lake which the town itself was built right next to. Cresta herself had been a bit of an adventurer in her youth, serving in the Wyverspoon military before taking off to explore the dangerous corners of Astraia. She is known to be one of the few people responsible for the world's map growing in recent years, but alas those days are over and she now seeks to settle down and live a quieter life. Not wanting to plant her roots in any of the preexisting settlements in her country, she decided to claim some of the land she herself helped find, and with the help of some upstart investors founded Hillhaven. The town is fairly small and still growing, but with its growing population- more buildings and structures continue to claim the untouched land over time.[/color]

[color=gray][i]"--Greetings potential resident, 
Hillhaven is a newly founded region and settlement in Northwest Astraia just beyond the Mosscrag Mountain Range founded by Cresta Dustwallow. The environment is lush with flora and fauna still yet to be discovered, our town while newly established is placed next the beautiful Sharkspear Lake with a fishing villa constructed for our townsfolk needs. While the town is still not fully constructed we are hoping to fill a number of jobs and roles that you, the recipient of this letter meet the criteria of. We of Hillhaven offer you a hefty some of land of your choice to build your new home upon, [b]if it's not already claimed by another[/b].

A new beginning.  A new life.  A new adventure.  A place away from the constraints of growing civilization.

We hope to see you soon in Hillhaven.
Sincerely, [b]Iz Ah Bel[/b]

[color=gray]It’s another town sim roleplay on the guild! This one’s primary influences are going to be Stardew Valley and Rune Factory, with the western-pioneer theme splashed in for some originality and the fact that my friends thought it was cool. I’ll be making Non-Player Character roles for any jobs that don’t get filled, but the less of that I have to do- the better.

GM post speed will be on a weekly-biweekly cycle, if that’s too slow for you then this probably isn’t the premise for you. I’ll also be encouraging romance, intermingling for the sake of intermingling, and also just building the lore of town since it’s pretty new to the world. The group size of Hillhaven could be five characters or fifteen, the direction will sort it be molded by that and some of the player choices along the way. Speaking of player choice, autonomy is going to be super-mega encouraged and while the GM will be doing their bestest to keep things moving forward. The [color=indianred]Heart Meter[/color] will start gray and work up in points by having other villagers participate in hobbies you enjoy, or by giving you stuff you like- with some checks and balanced to prevent them from bribing you into marriage.

Another quick thing before you get to the character sheet! The world history is intentionally a little vague, not due to laziness but because I’d rather some of the people interested help build the world alongside me. Give me your ideas. If you want to build, I’ll give you a hammer![/color]
