Why would we want a Light House for Vesper?
Blackthorn must know someone in Serpent's Hold. Here he is visiting his friends at a Luncheon in the Counselors Guild about 2000 AD. Everything looks cordial.
Maybe Blackthorn can meet with Representatives of the Order or the Empress or the Sultan? There's not a single soul in Serpent's Hold on a daily basis much less The Order of Silver Serpent's Representatives running about. And that lazy Empress hasn't been seen in years. She could use some dusting off. Sultan who?
Player Towns could swear allegiance to their prospective towns through real guild stones (bring back guild stones please), city stones or town stones. Perhaps they must have a certain number of people on the City stone to continue to be represented? Maybe Player Town Citizens could keep adding wood or ore or gold to keep membership up or qualify for special things. There have been several well thought out proposals and ideas over the years for this concept. I'd much rather see people get involved with their towns and support improvements with things the players can do rather than see EM's referee and dictate who gets what.
How can we ally our Zento Town with Vesper and work on a Light House for Vesper when we really would rather be supporting our own town and working together for things we can be proud of for Zento?
I appreciate that you are at least willing to come here and discuss this with everyone. You have my respect for that.
