    What is it?

    • A small settlement made up of multiple groups of families who joined together many years go for survival.
    • They used to travel, trading goods in towns to gather gold for purchases of things that they cannot make or hunt for.

    Where is it?

    • Currently situated in Southern Mountains

    Hierarchy

    • Leader - Gregory Hunt
    • Leader's Wife - Yvonne Hunt

    Background

    • Founded by Calin Stone, Jaelyn Stone and George Leoge.
    • They lived in Nordip, but the King at the time was setting and increasing absurd taxes and it became infeasible for them to continue to live there.
    • They gathered up some belongings and set out to live off the land, camping in different locations every few days
    • After a while they realised they needed gold to make up for shortfalls in their skills
      • They would do odd jobs to earn gold when they were near settlements
    • Soon, more and more people joined them, needing a way to escape taxes and poorer quality of lives.
    • More people meant more skills and soon they no longer needed to work odd jobs. Instead they crafted and built goods that they could sell.
    • Organisation soon sprang up in the camp as responsibilities became more important

    Warriors/Hunters

    • Same group of people. A mix of men and women who were useful with weapons.

    Builders

    • In charge of taking down and setting up camp when they travelled to a new location. Most families contributed at least one member to be a builder.
    • Some builders were also in charge of manufacturing tools, weapons, furniture and other trinkets that could be used or sold

    Cooks/Healers

    • In charge of preparing food that could be shared among the members.
    • Also in charge of providing medical aid to any who felt unwell or had suffered injuries

    Teachers

    • Taught what they could to the younger members of camp
      • Life skills
      • Survival skills
      • Academia related knowledge
    • Access to books was limited to start with, but it grew over time until a small library was accumulated
      • In fact, for a while, some of the camp gold was budgeted for purchasing new books

    Leader

    • In charge of the bigger decisions but usually consulted with the other members of the camp before making them.
    • They handled
      • When and where to travel
      • How to concentrate effort for gathering gold
      • How to budget and spend gold
      • What was a focus for teaching
    • Under Gregory Hunt's leadership, many of the women found themselves pregnant, including his wife Yvonne Hunt, and he accepted that the camp could not keep travelling,
      • The families needed more stability in their lives at this time
      • The pregnant women were unable to travel as easily
      • The newborns needed constant attention and could not be travelled
    • Therefore, he set them up in a more permanent in the Southern Mountains
