Let us sit around the bar, drink, talk, and reflect upon all the good times in our lives and the prior seven centuries of our people. Drinks will be provided for free!

[!] Right on the bend of the main thoroughfare of Hayhollow, you find a strange halfling who's wearing goggles above his eyes and an all-red uniform. He calls himself "Dondo", the greatest redstone engineer in all of Almaris. What strange things will he have to show you?

remove the need for a companion/"master" to avoid depression I think that'd get a bit weird IRP and would attract.... certain players to the race.

if you think you can write good lore for it go ahead

one day I will have played (briefly) a character for every major race. I predict i'm never gonna be able to play a wonk or random exclusive CA crud b/c I'll never get those so those r the races I just won't play I suppose. I actually kinda like sprites and musin maybe I should make one of 'em someday even if it's just for my own player events

Either that or purposefully inflate minas such that your typical block costs significantly more than .1 minas per so it’s easier to price things in shops at .1 price intervals.

Should I bring back 2014 style halfling burrows?

[!] You find a letter in your aviary ever. It seems the bartering letter exchange has found you once again! GRAND BARTER FAIR! ~The barter markets of Hayhollow~ The age of bartering is here!

The Mole-people came out of nowhere, quickly taking Karosgrad by storm with their strange methods. They wore mole plushies on their heads and spoke only to recruit others to their cause. Far and wide they spread, converting citizen after citizen to their peaceful ways. On every street corner there was a mole to be seen, such were their numbers. The moles fled from the city mere moments later, bringing with them nearly all of the city's population! Out of the gates they trotted, plushies held high and voices singing even higher. The moles then arrived in their homeland, the home of frogs (and moles too, it seems) where Honeyhill once stood. They hooted, hollered, and cheered as they dug into the earth and built strange forts on the surface! For unknown reasons, the moles disappeared without a trace soon after. Perhaps they will come back some day and take another city by storm...

Let us price shop items in hundredths of Mina’s (0.01, 0.02, 0.12, etc) so that shops can price individual low-value items better such as blocks, food, etc.

Back when burrows were just circles of oak wood with spruce frames. The ancient art of pumpkin spam, truly a classic. Two stairs on either side and slabs in the middle for top and bottom is how I used to make every single fireplace ever, no exceptions. I don't know why mushrooms stopped growing through the floors of halfling burrows, but for some reason after 2017 it just stopped happening! I also sorta miss slab-level floors and bookshelf walls, those were also cool. This parlor room (or tea room, whatever) design goes back to 2011. it's as old as dirt. Does anyone put their shovels on the fireplace mantelpiece anymore? #BringBack2014Building

[!] For some reason you keep receiving halfling work-related letters in your aviary.... The Harvest! It be upon us! The harvesting of all of our fields and processin' them into grains and flour! Tedious work, of course, but necessary if we are to thrive. We certainly haven't a lack of mills nor tools to get the job done! [!] The windmills of the shire creak and groan off in the distance Let us eat bread and cake! ~Mimosa Applefoot, Mayor of Hayhollow.
