Almost a year ago, The Keepers were tasked by Baron Silverlake, and his son, Lord Dante Silverlake who had "exploratory authorization" within The Valley of Solace to scout various parts of land. Between the regions we scouted, several were good choices. However, The Keepers decided on land between Northwatch and Midwatch, roughly 1/3 of the distance east towards Pratorak. Upon clearing the land of undead, troglodytes and strange floral, The Keepers were awarded full land rights to this area, while still following any restrictions under a local lord.
Through planning, scouting, and deals, the land was slowly worked on and a clear vision was seen within the group; the vision to establish the Valley as a habitable region again. A central road was constructed leading to this land from the main road, and supplies were quickly shipped up to the region. Shortly after, construction of a large Earth Guild was commissioned and took most of the Winter and early Spring to complete. I am proud to say that the Valley of Solace branch is fully functional, with a free healing clinic, multiple barracks, a central library, and two grand halls in it's interior, with horse stables outside.
Thanks to the Squire Victor Von Gryphon and the Gryphon Guard, they have been protecting the area in recent months and beginning construction of their own. A town guard is being trained, merchants, traders and farmers are being welcomed from across the land to share their wares and start anew within the Valley.
This is the future of the Valley. Just beyond Hope's Reach and eastward into the Valley lays a glimmer of hope for the region. A new new town, a new start, a new community, called Horizon.
It won't be built overnight, but in this last year, it has seen much growth. Now is the time for that growth to truly sprout out it's own. I am welcoming farmers into the area to plant crops, to tend to the land recently removed from all Corrupt presence. I am welcoming traders to share their goods, and share the goods that Horizon can exclusively offer in return. There are plans to allow travel and trade on The Great River, and so much more.
To those looking for a fresh start, for a 2nd chance, and to experience the true frontier, I encourage you to come to the area. Help make yourself and Gaden prosper from this new venture.
