Hail Siege,
Many of you old and new may have heard of Wispwood Shire. We are a long standing community within Siege. Like all of siege, our numbers have dwindled lately, but we refuse to let that stop us from achiving one of our goals: building community.
Any visitors who come in peace are welcome in the Shire. This includes those branded as murderers by the laws of the absent British and his strumpet Anissa. It also includes known enemies as long as they stay their hostilities within the Shire.
Every Tuesday evening at 10 PM EST, including this eve, we host a story night. All are invited to come listen. Any who come may enter a poem, tale, rhyme or song. All who are present vote on best submission, and a prize is awarded to the winner. Other events will be hosted and advertised as they happen.
Of late, we have undergone a redesign of our core clearing to better accomidate visitors and events. Here is a short Tour:
Wispwood Shire is located south of the Yew Moongate and east of the Yew Cemetary. The Shire consists of about 5 clearings with its community center in the clearing of Auraglade. Roads crafted from barrels can be followed from the Yew moongate and other locations to reach us (shown in brown on the map).
Within the Auraglade, you can find the gem of the Shire, The Golden Unicorn Inn and Tavern. Within, Woody the barkeep or a Shire citizen will serve you drinks and vittles to meet any tastes. There is a stage for bards and story tellers, and a music box filled with songs to sooth the savage soul, or to drink and party to. Upstairs from the tavern is an inn with rooms designed to meet the tastes of travelers from many backgrounds. The building also holds a stable providing safety, warmpth and food for all variety of pets, including carniverous ones. See the next two drawings for details.
Additionally, returning to the Shire after undergoing extensive construction is the Shire dueling pit. This open air pit is designed for close quarter dueling, with plenty of surrounding room for observers and a covered area for those of fair complexion or in case of inclement weather.
For those needing supplies, or just wanting to experience a bit of the elven culture, the clearing contains a tower crafted by our resident elves. On its steps can be found vendors providing a variety of goods, with more to come. On the second floor you can (soon) find a well equipped rune library where portals to many remote locations can be made. This includes treasure hunting locations.
South of the Elven tower you can find Wispwood Tower. This tower is the long-standing cornerstone of the Shire. Within you can find a museum of Shire group and individual achievements and a library containing tomes of all sorts, dating from early in the Shard history written by renown authors of all backgrounds. On the roof is a shrine dedicated to the virtues, for the pious.
Speak with any Shire Citizen you encounter if you are interested in knowing more. They may be identified by the badge they wear: "CWS"
Be well
