breasal adventure plot grows ever thicker

[!] You find a letter in your mailbox. Halflings never rest it seems. The need for Firewood I t'was serving guests in my burrow when I noticed something off. I hardly had enough firewood to cook enough food to feed my guests! This cannot do! As Mayor of Hayhollow, I hereby command us all to chop more firewood from the nearby forests (scarce as they may be) so that may live more comfortably! ~Mimosa Applefoot, Mayor of Hayhollow ((Event tomorrow, 11/10/2022, 6 PM EST))

[!] Your aviary is stuffed with another one of these darned newspapers... The Hay Herald: Volume 9 ~Even the Gnomes read it!~ Contents: ~The rise of Hayhollow!~ ~Spooks DESTROYED by KNOX HIMSELF??!?~ ~Shamanic School Opening Soon!~ ~Interview with a Gnome~ ~The Hayhollow Market!~ ~The Rise of Hayhollow!~ Of course, all ye readers are already well aware of this (and if you aren't, do hurry over here before all the burrow spots are taken), but we have successfully obtained independence & prosperity in a new village now named Hayhollow, nestled between the mountains and streams of northern Almaris. Do note that the location of this village is SUPER SECRET. The following is for weefolk eyes ONLY! Now that weefolks ONLY have read the above, I am content that all weefolks far and wide will be able to move into Hayhollow soon enough! ~Spooks DESTROYED by KNOX HIMSELF???!?~ ~The poor ol' lad only wanted to harm innocent children, but alas, Knox banished him from this realm.~ Sadly, some far from good folks have learned about Hayhollow besides just good ol' halflings and gnomes. One such fellow was a skeletal beast of wretched gait and speech. His bones made for grand fertilizer when KNOX came down to smite him for his crimes against the weefolks and their friends! I've made one of my burrow's support beams out of a tree grown from the fertilizer, true story! Sometimes the wooden beam cackles madly in the night, but t'is nothing that can't be silenced with a quick whack of a broom. ~Shamanic School Opening Soon!~ ~'cross the bridge and under the hills to Barbog's school we go!~ I for one am very excited for the new School of Shamanism, Alchemism, Housemagery, and other such things that the village goblin and honorary halfling Barbog will open soon! I've already submitted my application and all ye readers ought to do the same 'lest ye wish to miss out on powerful magics and TRUE worship of the creator Billy Bob and his many Harvest Spirits (Knox included o' course)! ~Interview with a Gnome~ M: So, what's your name, li'l one? Xob: Xob Wobson! That's me name! M: What's the big plans you gnomes have here in Hayhollow? Xob: Big plans! Big plans! Well I am personally working toward pushing the levels of gnomish inventions ter create wonders of whimsical innovation for all weefolks! M: Like the wood-machine I made a while back, but more of them, and biggger? Xob: Similar, but more on the line of ore-grinders, grain mills, and creations that help defend us from those beings of the dark M: I see. Anything else you have planned? Do all gnomes already live here or are you still bringing folks in? Xob: The gnomish people have been scattered for many ages; gathering the splintered fragments of the hidden city folk will take a while, but it's worth it! So aye, we are still looking for another gnomes to come dwell with us. ~End of interview~ ((message Norgeth#6211 or TakeMeT0TheFae#3833 if you wish to make a gnomish character and live in the land of the gnomes!)) ~The Hayhollow Market!~ Although minas usage is forbidden for halflings, the monk-peoples have strange demands of coinage for certain abilities of theirs, and, being an all-weefolk state, Hayhollow has many gnomes living in it who nay have the same cultural taboos as halflings do. As such me and Cyris have opened up a marketplace for the big folks and wee folks to exchange goods and currency of all sorts! May this lead us to a new future where halflings goods are found all over Almaris, nay just in halfling pantries, and not at all due to bigguns stealing them, but due to trade and commerce connecting our shire with the big-folk world. This has been the ninth edition of the Hay Herald. Mimosa Applefoot, greatest mayor of all shires, signing out! ~Mimosa Applefoot, one of the better Applefoots.

I don’t think it needs to specifically be cardinal directions nor do the secondary warp hubs need to be inside of CT. I say we bring back the human docks, elf docks, dwarf docks, etc. from Axios so we don’t have to make CT as big.

Couldn’t we just have a smaller, easier to navigate CT design and a traditional FT hub setup instead? If you need fast travel to get from one end of CT to the other that’s an oversized CT. I think we should just rip off the Axios CT redesign by putting the CT on an island somewhere with boat warps to relevant nations and secondary cart FT hubs.

[!] A notice is sent out across the halfling village of Hayhollow-bywater WE HAVE TRIUMPHED! ~The destruction of evildoers!~ T'is Pumpkin Day, a foul, EVIL, arugula-lovin' creature of darkness and despair, skeletal and wretched in it's very nature, attacked our peaceful village, our shire, our home! It grabbed a wee human child by the wrist, making the poor ol' child cry out in fear and agony! Fret not, however, for we have managed to beat it back into the ground where it belongs, for once it saw the combined force of halflings and gobbo shamans come for it, it obliterated itself to avoid Knox's divine judgement. Alas, Knox will still have HIS way with the foul creature, and I am certain it now rots eternally in Arugula's waters, as do all Arugula-worshippers who sell their souls for temporary power. KNOX BLESS THE SHIRE! FOR ALL YE FOUL SPOOK FOLKS OUT THERE WHO WOULD HARM US AND OUR FRIENDS, KNOX WILL COME FOR YOU! -Mimosa Applefoot, Mayor of Hayhollow

I’m going to make a gigantic melon farm, feed it’s output into an auto-composter, and make endless bonemeal.

Bring back bone pits Now that you mention it, I should make an industrial scale bonemeal factory too.

look the song up on youtube to find a bunch of weird anime dance videos

[!] Fliers are found strewn all over the halfling village of Honeyhill T'a Shire, REBORN! ~A state for the weefolks~ It has been a long time since us weefolks, halflings and gnomes alike, had any sort of realm of our own. Although our villages typically govern themselves, we've always lived under the shadow of folks larger than ourselves. Nay longer shall this be the case! Cyris and I found a new land for us to settle, secluded and secure. At first we intended only to stay there on occasion as a sort of vacation site. The word has gotten out and now it shall be our home. The Gnomes have moved into the hills and mountains already and so too shall us halflings settle the lakeside and grow grains in the fields! All the necessities of life have already been set up there, and so there we all ought to move. We can once again be an independent people as our ancestors once were in the times of fables. All weefolks, be ye Gnomish, Halfling, or some other mixture, ye all are welcome in our new homeland, where we shall build a Utopia for all. A state for the halflings. A state for the wee! ~Mayor Mimosa Applefoot p.s: to find the super secret location of our new village, just send me a bird!

Mimosa Applefoot smiles "Gooder see tha' KNOX lives on 'n t'a bigguns through fes'ive celebra'ions!"

Didn't halflings start in Aegis with the release of subraces? Halflings already existed at the start of Asulon. There were some halfling villages on Aegis such as Dunwood, for example.

how are you so cracked at building

Darned big folks taking our sports again!

“T’is foinalleh open! Na’er though’ oi’d see t’a day” says Mimosa Applefoot, digging out her old application

[!] Some bold news comes out of the wee ol' halfling village of Honeyhill T'a Halfling Space Program! ~Some say t'is is nay the REAL MOON and is just a smaller replica produced by wizards. They are LYING! The moon you still see on the sky while on the moon is just an illusion!~ T'a marvels of magic-stone have let us weefolks land on the moon! Although the world o' Almaris may be big, us halflings thing EVEN BIGGER, and thus we are nay satisfied with just t'is realm. We are to explore and colonize all t'a other realms too! Our new vessel, the Petyr 5, carries with it all of the thrust magic-stone power necessary to put a few weefolks safely 'n orbit of the moon! The Petyr 5 in action: ~Pictured above is a flip-book telling how us weefolks got to the moon. Make sure ter flip through 't with some musicians playing the correct music in the background!~ Honeyhill shall stand forever! Praise Knox! ~Mimosa Applefoot, Mayor of Honeyhill

[!] You feel it in your bones The Night of the Pumpkin Pumpkin Night, Pumpkin Night. Fills up the whole room with fright! Pumpkin Night, Pumpkin Night. Send off the scaredy cats in flight! Don't you want to see the Pumpkin Man tonight? ((7 pm est, TODAY (10/29/2022) in Honeyhill, the home of the halflings. SPOOOOKY Halloween event ran by @CorweenieTheJedi ))

OOC: Hello there! This is an event designed to simulate a single day of halfling life as best as possible. Everybody starts at the beginning of the hour, having just woken up. Their characters then go about their day as they would IRP, eventually falling back to sleep at the end of the hour, which ends the event. Working, eating, talking, and other things your character typically does in a day can and should be roleplayed. There will be a single roleplay prompt happening during the hour to promote interaction, but attending it isn’t mandatory. Feel free to do as you wish. The intention isn’t to attract a large quantity of halflings into one location at a time, but rather to create as much immersion as possible. SoL Event Checklist (Optional): -Wake up ( ) -Eat something ( ) -Do some task ( ) -Interact with someone ( ) -Eat another thing ( ) -Go to sleep ( ) RP: [!] A notice is pinned to the Honeyhill Noticeboard, flapping in the wind. "Time to plant the oat fields again! We can drink a wee bit of cider and party after, nay worries! If ye wish to help with the work, meet me in the tavern before the end of the month -Mimosa Applefoot” ((6 PM EST today, October 27th of 2022, in Honeyhill, the home of the halflings))
