Building Dragonspire
A few brave people, with nothing but a few tools and bandages alongside some food, landed in the northern city of Myr, where newcomers meet. The place was a bit up, higher from ground; wind howling at their faces. There was only a bank, some stations for crafting and a tavern. The sun was warming their backs when they arrived, a beautiful morning; for new adventures, the days to come for the plans of these people. They sat down at the tavern made of stone blocks and wooden logs, planks covering the floor. A few drinks were passed, soon everyone knew what they were up to and what to do. They gathered in the end of the town and went out for resources.
Nothing was easy as it would look from outside, and the group was going to realize it roughly. They reached the goblin camps at night time, a good time to hunt if I may add, only to discover that these monsters already have assassin, mage and warrior goblin types they need to fight. Gladiators lined up at the front, their spears ready to pierce through the monsters as ranged ones came from behind shooting arrows and magical abilities at the monsters. Weapons of all sides clashed and banged with each other, to annihilate the other side. Battles have only just started, as to say, for the group of few as they managed to overcome the danger of these monsters for now. They collected every possible loot they can collect, goblins screaming in agony and hatred as they are killed. Soon, gold, resources and much more reagents were collected.
They gathered many more people along the way to their small group which is now a strong, well-managed guild with 3 people in charge of things, as of now. As people heard of this group, Forum Draconum, fighting fierce battles against these monsters whom threaten the stability of the continent and all humans; they joined in on the battle. As many more gathered around, the circle grew to become much more strong and reliable. As they fought side by side, people learned whom to trust and whom to rely on. They learned adaptation, fighting side by side, trust and most important of all; the feeling of knowing that some-one has your back, no matter what.
Soon, the teams dispatched to gather gold to claim their future city, Dragonspire, and started hunting more strategically as their time was running thin. They turned to a much more reliable hunting source; outlaws of the world, bandits. The hunting and battles for building their own town went on for days, even weeks, but in the end; they were successful, with a bit of funding from friends. Now that they had the gold, they needed people; a settler group made of 20 people, to be exact. Soon people agreed on helping them and they set out to do what they had in mind, for a long time!
As the group leader claimed the land of Dragonspire, it was only just the beginning. But still, the hope in the eyes of other members was something to cherish and behold. The stone blocks were collected from ruins and wooden logs from nearby trees; only to build the Town-Hall, in which they would hold a great meeting at later on. The leading circle immediately began work on the infrastructure, plots and where what should be placed, farming and the future of the city. As all sides agreed on what to do, they went out to gather resources, to build a town and make it greater than any other town! And with that, the real adventure had begun...
They built the basics at first, such as the bank, their city tavern, the workshop and their resource stockpiles. It might be easier reading and speaking it, but it took days to complete all of these things. As hardworking as it gets, these people put their everything; money, resources, time and their beliefs onto building their grand city. A few disagreements occurred of course, as well as some minor problems, but in the end everything was coming along quite fine. The town was in a very good shape for most of the time, resource and money-wise. But as it should be, it was never enough for the new and developing City of Dragonspire. They needed to increase their numbers, power and prestige as well as their technology.
With that, they realized the importance of farming and agriculture and how it should be planned perfectly. Their Head of Agriculture and Head of Diplomacy, for the time being, provided the perfect plan for them. They were farming the plots non-stop in the most beneficial way possible, a great plan for the town building. Soon, cereal and protein packs were filling up; and with that, their first leveling up of the city was their first great achievement as a group. The planned farming helped them a lot, so they owe a huge thank you to the person in charge of that; not to forget this plan still goes on to this day.
They still needed gold though, so they went out with searching parties to hunt more bandits and creatures. Their time was precious, so they went for the bigger games such as ogres, zombies, skeletons etc. They also hit up goblin camps every now and then, quite often to gather the treasures and gold of these monsters. As the resources and prestige increased, they put down more stations; such as a clothing workshop for normal and hide/leather clothes, wood workshop for planks and such as well as a blacksmith. They were increasing in numbers, day by day but they were yet to realize the harsh truth of the world.
The truth was that they were making enemies all along the way. The truth striked them hard when few arguments showed how they needed to be prepared for the worst. In the meantime, as previously mentioned, a meeting was held at the town hall; answering all questions from the citizens and guild-members to avoid confusions in the future and making sure everyone is clear on what is going on. But the harsh truth never left them alone, and doubted it will ever do...
An all hands on deck message was posted in town-hall and all around the city, to make sure their only safety; walls are up and running. They needed tons of wood, so all teams were dispatched to collect what was needed. There were not many people, but with great teamwork and management; they built all the city walls and gates in one day! Another great achievement that not many can achieve with that less people, luckily they had their stockpiles full and there were trees nearby. After hardworking, non-sleeping days were over; they finally researched basic buildings, walls and placed them all in their city.
This is the story for now, it was a good run for the people who enjoyed their times spent with their neighbors and guildmates. May the Gods bless The City of Dragonspire!
