Revisiting Torelien (Minecraft)

An expansion of the roads has been approved and
several outposts are currently under construction.
'Tis been months since I had last laid any blocks upon this Vanilla Minecraft world. In particular this settlement, tentatively called Torelien, was the basis for the layout of the roads and outpost settlements. Ah yes the square huts and roofs indeed (f*ck you JDK) but yes I would love to polish up this settlement when I get the chance. The lore behind this settlement is based upon a particular region of my own fantasy world albeit heavily modified for the Minecraft-esque feel. Sorry but ya gotta keep it PG-12 for the kids yo! We all know that Minecraft players are all lil kids; true story. Kappa ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Anyway here's a snippet from the lore of the settlement... if you don't enjoy it then there's something majorly wrong with you and you should go open up a PayPal account and giff me WoW: Legion along with a $100 Steam Wallet Card and $100 RIFT Credit pack: つ ◕_◕ ༽つ

Nestled within the Verillan woods in the heart of the West Thyrrian landscape is Torelien - named in honour of the goddess of agriculture: Torelia. Though it started out as a quaint fishing village it eventually attracted the attention of the Miner's Guild of Granun which, in partnership with the dwarves of the Darkstone clan, sent emissaries after news had spread of the discovery of various rare ore deposits, none more prized than orbenite. Mining operations have since begun but heavily restricted and the mayor has placed a quota on visitors from outside the region pending a review on what the effects of serious mineral exploitation would have upon the town - or at least that's the official word. Mayor Thanik once lived amongst the dwarves albeit of another faction (the Orben Wheel) so there may very well be a tinge of resentment for the Darkstone clansmen. Nonetheless the coin that it would bring to the town has sparked a move from some locals to form their own miner's guild.



News of the mineral-rich seams has also attracted the attention of bandits who have shifted their sights from the lowly highwayman routes to this potential bonanza town. The locals are not yet weary of this threat but if plans to expand the mining operations are approved, it could very well threaten the town's safety and security as they are practically defenceless. To combat this an emissary entourage has been dispatched by the vice-mayor to no less than Port Tarazul and Granun to seek recruitment for the proposed "Town watch" which would be a massive upgrade from the current militia force which can barely seem to keep the local wildlife out sometimes.


Well that wraps it up for now as it's approaching 4 am... why am I still on?
