It is a massive sandbox type roleplay and is currently closed for new applications.

A: Lily Town, a bustling village made of cobblestone, wood, and brick. Among the many homes is a clinic, a (to be decided by shop owner) store, an inn, a bar, and many other lovely places to visit.The town is built around a stone center, which is called the Town Square. Festivals and contests are held here, and the town hall is accessible from the stairs that start at the far edge of the Square. To the east is a bridge which leads across the river and to the west is the docks. The town seems to have an obsession with lilies, and many portraits and planters are filled with this particular flower.

Boats used to linger on the docks and travel to the island that was just out of view of the shore, but the island has since been deemed haunted and tourist attraction plummeted. There is, however, a fishing shop owned by a very kind fisherman who would gladly take anyone out into the sea with his small boat. Other then that, the beach is a nice place to relax and explore, and you may be able to catch glimpse of some sea life if you linger long enough. Shops: Bluebell Fishery and Boat Service Residents: Robbi Yung Nisa Yung C: The Lighthouse. A rather large, hilly area sweeps up into the air, and on top sits a quaint little lighthouse. It sits tall on the highest hill and looks other the ocean. The Mayor maintains the lighthouse's pristine condition as well as he can. Residents: D: Flora Falls. The waterfall is clean and clear, coming from high up the mountain, and many children love playing in the steam and lake created by the cool water. Behind the main falls is a shallow cave where a hot spring sits, and many of the locals enjoy coming after a long days work to let off some steam. Normally, the water is very cold and best to visit during the scolding days of summer. Residents: [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/28539/posts/ooc?page=5#post-871876]Brent Roless[/url] E: Mount Edelweiss. The largest mountain in the range that surrounds the rest of the Valley. A trail leads up to the summit, with a few forks in the road leading to a natural spring, a blacksmith's shop, a digging site, and a mine. The spring isn't well known by most, and it is mostly a haven for animals to drink after long days. Near the base of the mountain is the blacksmith's shop, which is run by the Blacksmith and their Apprentice. They create tools and household objects that may be sold in the town's store (if the two characters are on good terms). They gain their materials from the mine, which is a few steps away from their base of operations, and the pine forest that lies just behind them. The mine goes deep into the mountain and is filled with glittering ores and rocks which sell for a lot in town. Further after that is the summit, which just gives a glorious view of the Valley and is the only place to receive blue feathers. There is also a strange shrine, tucked into a ledge on the mountaintop, most don't know it's purpose. Shops: Blacksmiths Residents: Lisa Silber F: Glowing Fern Forest. A beautiful woods area, filled with wild life and vegetation. A certain type of fungus coats many of the trees in the summer-fall months, and at night these trees will glow a lovely white. Flowers will also grow this fungus as well, lighting the forest in an oddly spooky way. If one would wander blindly through these woods, they might happen upon a large clearing. The grass here is short and speckled with thousands of flowers, and at the the center of this clearing is a wide, glowing pond. Rumors tell that this is where the Harvest Goddess resides, and if one would to throw a gift into the waters she will appear and give you advice or another gift in return. Residents: Harvest Goddess G: Rosette River. A large river that starts from high in the mountain and travels down, cutting through the landscape with clean, blue water and, at times, white-water rapids. There are many spots where the river recedes and children love to play in these shallow spots, but are warned to stay away from the quicker streams. This river is the one that spills into the ocean. Residents: H: Peony Plains. A large field that is the perfect place to go stargazing. There is plenty of space and currently (2-3) farms occupy some of the land. The soil is rich here and good for crops while the long, golden grass is perfect for animals to graze on. If one walks south they may end up looking over a steep cliff, which leads further down into a small, swampy area. Shops: Sunflower Stables Henry's Farm Residents: Sally Root Kyle Root [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/28539/posts/ooc?page=1#post-840219]Henry Manteel[/url] I: Witch Island. A once glorious, tourist filled island attraction, Witch Island has long since become deserted and 'haunted' as the locals say. Many have used it for Tests of Courage (if they have the ability to get there), and the island's large, tropical forest and quiet beaches give off an eerie feeling just perfect for said game. A Witch is said to live deep within the forest, in a hut, practicing her spells. If someone were to discover her hiding place, they would mostly likely be met with a curse. At least, that's what everyone else says, but no one truly knows for sure. Shops: Sunset Hotel (Abandoned) Residents: Witch [center][i][b]Lore:[/b][/i] The Harvest Goddess: A divine being, often regarded as a deity to the people of the Valley, this Goddess protects and guards the land from harm. Harvest Sprites: Small, helpful spirits that work under the Harvest Goddess. Witch: A magical recluse who lives alone on the island. Rumors have spread about her existence and she is known as haughty, wicked, and scary. Is that true? Well, no one really knows... Blue Feathers: An old tradition of the Valley is giving a blue feather to the person you wish to merry. The feather is only available at the summit of Mt. Edelweiss, and is extremely rare. Only those truly in love will find the gift easily, as the stories are told.
