Sect Announcement Board
I hereby announce the sect's plan for the development of Eldorin will now enter phase two with the activation of the level two spirit gathering array. With the commence of phase two, the first settlement on Eldorin will be officially given the name Oryn. Oryn will be the nexus of all manufacturing in the second phase of Eldorin's development. To support Oryn's manufacturing sector, twelve new settlements will be established across the world of Eldorin to produce the needed raw materials. The goal for phase two is to lay the foundation for Eldorin to achieve self-sufficiency minimizing the need for imported cultivation resources. Being the proud disciples of a merchant sect, your goal is to develop Eldorin into a manufacturing powerhouse exporting valuable goods across the lower realms.
Below is a short introduction to Eldorin and the location of all twelve new settlements established in phase two.
The largest continent on Eldorin. The first settlement, the town of Oryn is located here. Being the largest continent on Eldorin, the biodiversity on this continent is also the most diverse.
Xudama – The settlement is located within a basin on the south side of the continent. The network of rivers spread across the whole basin made it ideal ground for highly productive farmlands. Not only is the mountain range surrounding the basin rich in ores and minerals, the richest spirit stone vein identified on Eldorin reside within this mountain range as well.
Belum – Designated as one of the two granary site for Eldorin, the settlement is built on the vast plains on the west side of the continent. The fertile grasslands are ideal site for large track of farmlands. To the north of the settlement lies the northwestern steppe. The steppe will make ideal ground for the animal husbandry sector, easily supporting a large herd of livestock.
Untara – Surrounded within the continent's longest mountain range in the shape of a horseshoe lies the largest desert in the central continent. The settlement is built next to the largest oasis on the desert as the hub for hunting some of the most exotic beast in Eldorin and for growing fire attribute herbs that only thrive in a desert environment.
Batu – The settlement is nestled in the snow forest on the north side of the continent. The snow forest is a treasure trove for rare herbs and a few species of the trees growing here are the primary source of raw materials in the making of talisman paper, magic scroll and tome.
Axxxi – A coastal settlement on east side of the central continent facing the vast ocean that splits the landmass of the eastern continent from the central continent. Built within a sheltered bay, the site is a ideal location for drydocks and deep sea port. The bay geographical setup protects all ocean-going vessels from all incoming ocean weather hazards.
The second largest continent on Eldorin. The north mountain range is rich in mineral veins and also home to the highest peak on this world. The forest region that dominates half the continents are rich in forest treasures and some of the key herbs needed for alchemy can only be found here.
Thurox – Built next to the riverbank in the central of continent, the settlement is chosen primarily to harvest the desired forest treasure in the tropical rainforest. The areas along the river are ideal sites for plantation to grow some of the most lucrative spices used in culinary. Deep into the forest lies a few species of hardwood tree that are primary materials used in magical woodcraft.
Tislo – Located on top of a plateau, the settlement will be the hub of all mining activities across the mountain ranges in the north region. A few of the ores and minerals extracted here are crucial to artifact refining and the casting of alchemy cauldrons.
Duvon – The settlement is built near a floodplain on the south side of the continent. The site is designated as the second granary site of Eldorin. Farms can be built across the vast great plains that covers most of the southern part of the continent.
The smallest of the three continent on Eldorin. Situated near the south pole, two third of the south continent are tundra.
Tolana – A tundra settlement built at the foot of the continent's mountain range. The site of the settlement is chosen to exploit the rich minerals veins that can be found within the mountain range. Additionally, the settlement also serves as the forward base to forage a wide range of valuable ice attribute herbs that can only grow in the hostile cold environment of the south pole.
The western ocean is home to an extensive chain of islands. This provides rich breeding ground for sea resources. Some of the riches spirit stone veins on Eldorin can also be found here.
Ovina – Situated in the northern end and second largest island on the western archipelago, the coastal settlement will be supporting all sea treasure harvesting activities in the area. The island is also the site to the richest spirit stone vein on the western archipelago.
Osir – Built on an island near the south end of the western archipelago, the coastal settlement is in the vicinity of the largest coral reefs on Eldorin. The site act as the forward base for harvesting the rich sea treasures in the area.
Ordeso – The settlement is built within the valley of the largest island in western archipelago. The site is chosen to exploit the large number of spirit stone veins that have been found within a few day travel distance from the settlements..
Disciples, embrace your pioneering spirit. Set out to conquer the new frontier and build your fortune. Cultivation is after all an expensive undertaking. To quote one of our sect's guiding tenets, "With sufficient wealth, even a talentless cultivator can buy their way towards immortality."
Do plan your stay in the new frontier with care. Supplies in the new settlements will only be replenished every three months in the early stages. Running out of supplies will be an expensive lesson and pose a major setback to whatever you are planning to achieve out in the frontier.
Nonetheless, pioneering new frontier is a lucrative business. For starters, all pioneers that have made contribution towards the development of the new settlements will be rewarded with two disciple recommendation slots when Eldorin development plan enters phase three. Each disciple will also be eligible to redeem another two additional disciple recommendation slots with sect merits. So, be a pioneer and start racking up your sect merits if you want those recommendation slots.
Your truly,
Sect Leader Maximus Radcliffe
P.S. Please plan accordingly for the long term. In phase four, Oryn will become the world's capital and the primary gateway to other worlds will be constructed here. The twelve settlements will be given the regional capital status administering all the surrounding areas under it.
