Hey, one thing i've noticed that has been lacking for new players is an accessible list of settlements of the past maps. In the application process it's pretty much drilled into everything I see "Include the lore of the server." Well, one problem is, there isn't a real good way to access this lore, unless you really, and I mean really dig. I've been on the server for 3 years and I still don't know a lot of the lore.
So i've decided to compile a list of towns/settlements that were actual IG places. So new players aren't crippled by not having a good understanding of places. I'll be adding to this as I think/people tell me more. I don't know very many but I can provide a few.
