Timberholde Welcome to Timberholde! Make yourself at home, or perhaps do some shopping at one of our many shops? Yes, Timberholde is full of many things to discover. Being the biggest city in Simul, Timberholde rests in the middle of the crossroads between both main trails that can lead you to anywhere you want to travel. A popular spot for most travelers to seek refuge and rest and often a dream goal for the entrepreneur, Timberholde is often thought to be Simul's capitol despite Eleutheria's regal aesthetic. There are homes rebuilt for more than 35,000. Year Incorporated: 22 Population: Approximately 35,000 Human: 75% Elven: 8% Dwarven: 3% Other: 14% Magically Inclined: Approximately 23% Updates The Hold The city jail, The Hold is a high-quality jail that is said to have the second best security next to the jail in the capital. You won’t find any super villains here, but this place is perfect for holding captured crime lords and citizens who, while highly magical, aren’t powerful enough to warrant a visit to the jail in Eleutharia. The warden prides himself on having “never lost a single convict”, and the walls are well-guarded by competent and impossible to bribe guards… Though it’s said they can’t be bribed for fear of what the warden would do if he found out. The warden is a man who simply calls himself the “Chain Holder” and refuses to give his real name, even on government documents. The Golden Antler The Golden Antler is a high quality tavern located in the city of Timberholde. It is so-named for the famous golden antler that hangs on the mantle above the fireplace. The owner, Owen Seventrees, claims to have hunted a golden deer in the southern forest years ago but been so taken aback with it’s beauty he couldn’t bring himself to kill it when he finally caught it. In exchange for its freedom, the deer gifted him his left antler. It’s not known if this story is true or nothing more than the tall tale of an old hunter. Medicine Maiden Tucked away in the large city of Timberholde lies a beautiful cottage owned by the only prestigious Medicine Maiden. No one really knows her name, but many have experienced and shared their stories of visiting her. From hexes to cruses to even the flu, one can kind relief. Her prices are steep, but the treatment is worth it. Master Blaster The name says it all. A Master gunsmith, who refuses to give his name, runs this small shop in Timberholde. His guns are said to be the best in all the land. Though his competitor in Dry Gulch can imbue his weapons, this mysterious man can do even a little more than that... H&H A bakery located in Timberholde, run by a pair of brothers named Hans and Hansel. Big and strong, these men put pride and muscle into everything they bake, specializing in baked goods native to their fatherland of Skulandia. They also are perfectly willing to learn how to bake things from other people’s home countries as well, for they believe that nothing is better than unity and diversity when it comes to foodstuffs. ...What? You’re saying Hansel is a girl’s name? Well, Hansel believes it’s just as valid for him as a woman! Illuminated Garden The Illuminated Garden is the name for the community garden in Timberholde. It is one of the biggest and most expansive gardens in the whole of Simul, guarded well by the people who tend to it and known for harboring many exotic plants, from lands even outside of the island continent. At night it is lit not by lamps but by the plants themselves, many of which glow and twist into beautiful shapes under dark. It is best one has a guide when they enter this place, for it is so large that it is near a maze. It is owned by an elven woman named Taliesha Min’hald, who is said to be the last survivor of an elven coven from another land. She loves her garden dearly and will not tolerate any threats to it. The Drunken Lion Nestled comfortably in the heart of Timberholde at the heart of Simul, the Drunken Lion is one of the city's largest inns. As well as having almost-nightly entertainment and a multitude of rooms upstairs, it's the only tavern in Simul that serves Lion's Mane Liqueur, a bittersweet blend of distilled liquor and berries from the owner's home land. The owner, Akiba, is a mysterious but friendly fellow who is frequently found tending to the building. The Center A hospital with an odd name which provides low cost treatment for people of every race, gender, and creed. The hospital is notable for the fact that it is staffed mainly by vampires. They’ll even take blood instead of money if you still can’t afford to pay, and the hospital is known for making regular donations of excess profits to local orphanages and the poor. The owner is named Vlad the Impaler… A holdover from his time as a war general in his homeland. Nothing to be concerned about. Heavy Metals One of the biggest blacksmith shops in all of Simul would have to be Heavy Metals. The shop was built into a massive home that is shared by ten smiths. Walking in, you will be greeted with the smell of a hard working man....well...ten of them. Though the smell is unpleasant, it is worth it. Each one has their own way of making weapons. Some with minor element qualities to make them lighter or swing a big fast. Some verging on the edge of unbreakable. Order from whoever you wish. You won't be disappointed! Just come in and talk to Reece and he will grab you the best smith for the job! The Tightest Corset A brothel located in Timberholde, the Tight Corset is run by a woman named Mademoiselle Zalenna. It is rumored that she is sisters with the madame of Fingers and Fiddles, but she vehemently denies these claims, finding them slanderous. Her brothel has an upstanding reputation and is known for the quality of its whores. It may be a little expensive, but you’re sure to have a good time. Whispering Ether Got an itch that you just can't seem to scratch? Drop into Whispering Ether. We have potions, smokeables, lotions and more! Take a look at our menu below. If you can imagine it, we can make it a possibility. Join us in the lounge to just relax and forgot who you are. You will be safe here....well, not your money. The though shop is not singularly owned, the main mixer would be Idel. He is the most talented, and none of the rest blame him for having such a big head about it. Menu Here In Hot Water A simple teashop that sells simple but high quality teas, which are mainly made and mixed by the owners themselves, a pair of twins named Lisa and Lisandra. Lisa is known for being quiet and patient, while Lisandra is known for her temper and lack of patience. The two work well together, though, despite how at odds their personalities are. One Story One Story is just that. One story of a library. Being placed in such a massive city as Timberholde, it does seem a tad out of place. Do not let its size fool you. One Story is a great library and book store. The most popular one Timberholde has to offer. There are many others, but none quite as elegant as this. The owner, Sharon, makes sure every shelf is always stocked. As a matter of fact, she loves books so much that she has an entire cellar in the building dedicated to reprints and extras just in case one goes missing. Fowl Play Fowl Play is a butcher’s shop run by a man named Fen, who really enjoys a good pheasant. He catches a lot of what he sells himself, in fact, and you’ll find no better place to get a slice of turkey or chicken than here. You’ll even find the meat of more exotic birds, though when it comes to the other meats the produce is disappointingly run of the mill.

Witnesses say that a group of less than a dozen, but more than eight people descended upon the northern ship port of Dry Gulch and attacked a seaman. Not only was the ship burned to ashes, but the dock in which it was parked. Unfortunately, the owner, Warren Thule, was killed in the incident, alongside his wife and four children. It has also been clarified that this group of murderers did so with the use of fire magic.

Library of Shit Archived/Retired Pascha Lepus Pascha Lepus This event will be starting 3-1-2020 The land has begun to warm. The snow, though still abundant, has started to diminish around the edges. The sun has made itself known. The citizens of Simul have begun to look forward to the Festival of the Rising Sun. A time where people come together and share their bounties, feeding the hungry and replenishing stamina for the next year. This year, however, was not the year for two travelers in particular... What a lovely day it was. The lovers, Jan and Morris decided to take a walk around the sands surrounding their home on the outskirts of Harena. With the weather warming up, they chose to have a little picnic in the calm sands before the cool of night washed over. After finding a little lovely and un-shaded spot in the desert, the two set up and had their way with their overfilled basket of goodies. Once they were both fat and happy, eyes closed and relaxed, a hefty nap ensued. Only to be interrupted by the most unlikely of suspects. The shadow engulfed them both. Dark enough to wake Jan who, in turn, woke her loving husband Morris. The two sat there in awe at the large animal, not really sure of what to do. It was Jan who made the first move. It was only a rabbit after all. A...twenty story tall rabbit. Fur that looked soft and inviting. A wiggling nose that sniffed the area for any left overs. A fuzzy tail that flicked every so often. Nothing to be frightened of...right? Oh, how she was wrong. One moment, the couple was looking upon the largest and possibly the most adorable, giant rabbit they had ever seen. The next, the beast reared up on its hind legs and let out a screech that could have shattered glass. Jan suffered the most; her ears gushing blood from punctured drums. Morris, however, was already covering his ears by the time the sound erupted in totality. After shaking off his fright, Morris stood and rushed to his wife who was silently screaming while examining her then blood covered hands. The two tucked tail and ran back to their city... Word spread fast. Now, there is a bounty. Only the best of the best have been called forth to defeat this "pretty" monster. Event Details and Rules This scene will be taking place in the channel for Harena. There will be no post order: The "villain" will post and everyone who would like to be part of the event will have two hours to post in response. If you do not make it for one, you will be skipped.

Korrig City Harbor Korrig was a small fishing village built with the old washed up bones from some unknown sea-monster. Through trade established with Sudbury, they began to grow quickly; the people receiving help and better building supplies. Within the course of 80 years, they went from simple homes to a walled city with attached castle, and a port big enough for some of the largest ships on the seas. A bell on the harbor clangs loudly and seabirds scream and cry overhead, fighting with one another for any tasty scrap dropped by people in the street. The salt air is heavy and the paint on the buildings are warn from sea storms but the people are bright and enigmatic. The market is loud throughout the day and there are sea-shanties to be heard all over the city streets. The smell of fish and salt and sea has sunk into every part of this city. Korrig grows every day, becoming more important to the economy of Simul as the lands grow with new people and new ventures. Year Incorporated: 1129 Population: Approximately 20,000 Human: 77% Elven: 9% Dwarven: 6% Other: 8% Magically Inclined: Approximately 7% Updates Misses Smith "Women can smith just as well as men!" A frequent phrase you will hear walking through the door of Korrig's most popular blacksmith shop, Misses Smith. Run by Julia and her lovely wife, Amethyst. Most of their items are made with more than a womanly touch. Tough and highly durable, these pieces are not general imbued, however, can be if taken to the right mage. Lambs to the Slaughter A butcher’s shop run by a man named One-Eye Pete, so-named for the fact he has only one eye. It’s pretty self-explanatory. He provides high quality meat that is as finely cut as they come, Pete loving precision and refusing anything but perfection. Many of the meats sold here come from across the sea, bringing an exotic flavor to the meat market. Healing Waves A hospital run by a former fisherman, Healing Waves is one of the most well-kept hospitals in Korrig. It is run by a man named Salty, whose stories of his times at sea often entertain sick patients at the hospital. Rather than magic, the hospital usually prefers “natural” healing, meaning anything non-magical, though they’ll use magic when it’s needed. Salty doesn’t trust magic, not since that one day… What happened on the dreaded “that day” changing with every telling. Insight Though it is small for a library, Insight has most information people need. Often used as a place for children to study, you won't often find people digging for highly rare material. Still, it is a nice little place to come, sit, relax, enjoy a mug of coffee made by the owner, Brit, and read. The Thirsty Seahound A tavern of modest quality run by modest people, a pair of husbands named John and James. The two serve their customers with as much love as they would a child, preparing their meals with all the care of a mother. The tavern usually smells of salt and fish, a side effect of all the fishermen who frequent it. Dock's Harbor The docks of the harbor, a spot where a lot of Simulian trade occurs. It is one of the most lively places in all the continent, ships coming to and from the harbor to sell and steal away with their wares. The dockmaster, who just so happens to be named Dock (though most people don’t believe that’s his real name), will help anyone who needs it to get to where they need to go. Just don’t bother him while he’s busy. Which is...often. Might be worth the yelling for these prices! Fishy Feats A store for all things fishing. Fishing rods, bait, things to ward off nasty sea creatures while you’re out on the ocean, Fishing Bob’s got it all! He has dedicated his entire life to the craft, the greatest accomplishment he has ever had being taking that fish twice the size of a man from the grips of mother sea. It lies mounted on his wall to this day, carefully preserved and polished. Sally's Muffins A simple bakery run by a woman named Sally, an elderly woman who has been baking since she was just a young girl and loving it all the while. Kindly and always giving a smile, she provides a lot of hungry fishermen with fresh pastries. Her muffins are especially delicious, being declared “famous”, and so the store is named after them. Bolstering Brews Come on down to Bolstering Brews for your home remedies and cleaning supplies! Jarren is great with his hands and even better with his mind. Specializing in home remedies for common illness, he also creates potions for everyday use and cleaning. Menu Here Mending Waters In the great city of Korrig Harbor lies a great healer. Tending to the sea fairing and travelers, Sam doesn't let a single soul leave her city in disarray. She is not a talkative woman, but she sure has a touch that can heal just about any ailment. Even those coming to her for birthing their children will be met with the same caring eyes as any other. Her home is cozy, and there is always hot water on the fire. Tea, coffee, a warm bath, anything you need. Had she not dedicated her life to practicing healing, some lucky man would have swept this beautiful woman up. Using water as her main way of healing, she picked one of the best cities to settle in. Her touch is usually cool, but her use can be any temperature. Whatever is most comfortable for you.

Lake Torra Lake Torra is located just outside of the Southern Forest and about day's walk from Mary's Tavern. It has rather sandy beaches for a lake surrounded by trees. The lake is quite sizable as well, being miles upon miles in diameter. The waters are crystal clear and it is a very popular sight for weary travelers to camp. It wouldn't be a surprise to find small homes nestled in the surrounding forest either. The lake is beautiful all year round, attracting many to paint art of its water and scenery. Updates

Sudbury Sudbury is a town located just north of Korrig Harbor City. Almost as big as its sister city SkyHaven, Sudbury is well known for its more eclectic shopping experiences. Many wizardry folk and magic wielders come here for not only knowledge, but items they can't get anywhere else. You could spend all day exploring Sudbury and probably not view everything you want. Never fear! Sudbury has many lodges and taverns that you can stay at and feel right at home. Sudbury is under heavy protection from Constables, trained for years in order to keep the peace. With valuable items and magical areas, Sudbury needs the extra hands. Year Incorporated: 147 Population: Approximately 20,000 Human: 68% Elven: 19% Dwarven: 4% Other: 9% Magically Inclined: Approximately 69% Updates Maggie's Tavern More information HERE Spellbound Greens The Spellbound Greens refers to a big community garden located in the town of Sudbury. It is kept by a quiet elf named Malinda who seems to do all of the work by her lonesome, yet no one can say she doesn’t do it well. The garden is always a quiet place, filled with many magical and exotic plants. Colossal Costumes Colossal Costumes! We have everything to clothe the small, the fat, the tall and the mighty! Everything made from the finest of magical silks, fabrics and strings the realms can have! We have raiment for all, the lustful, the magical, and the strong! Bring your friends and explore your creative side! You might have to get over your fear of spiders though... Alec, the owner, tries to keep them at bay, but they seem to like the silk. Balls of Fire Balls of Fire was founded by Demruk Merrybasher during the war, and has been around ever since. Including Demruk himself! Or so they say. No one really knows if it is the same old man, but no one has seen anyone else run the popular blacksmith shop. Buried just a few feet under the ground, Demruk's Balls of Fire smith is known for its well made armor. Despite him looking to be one for weapons, he is much better at the armor portion. Not to say his weapons don't hold up! He can even enchant them for ya. A fiery sting? He has got that. Icy shields? Hell yeah. Just ask! He can imbue almost any element onto your item. It may not be anything noteworthy, but it can help in a pinch. The Pig's Nose A butcher’s shop run by an unexpectedly thin and lanky man named Quinn, who always seems to have scared eyes. No one knows why he acts the way he does, for he is not one to socialize, but he always has a stutter to his voice. The shop has a talking pig for a mascot simply named Piggy. How he feels about living in a butcher’s shop is yet to be determined but no one feels comfortable enough to ask. Magical Maladies A place that, despite its name, has nothing to do with giving illness, but rather dealing with them. While they also treat normal injuries, the hospital also specializes heavily in treating magical illnesses. Attended by skilled healers and run by the strict Lady Landry, if you come here they’re sure to fix you up whatever it takes. Compendium Compendium is arguably the largest and most jammed packed library and bookstore that Simul has to offer. From deep hidden history to spells of the ancients to even how to grow proper corn in the winter, this stash of beautiful books is more than anyone could ask for. Within the wall, you can find yourself lost for days or even weeks given the proper drive to soak up the words of millions of people. The library's owner, Afyne, has made it her life's work to continue growing the collection. Spellbinder's Prison A jail that specializes in dealing with magically powered convicts, though it also deals with convicts without magic when need be. Every single guard in the prison is well-equipped to deal with magic, and every cell is lined with anti-magic runes. The jailer is a burly man named Capri Caller, who is known for being oddly kind to his prisoners. He even invites them to play cards… Though with the condition of wearing magic-restricting shackles. Helen's Heals Sudbury is a very widely known town. A lot of magical energies. Schools for mages. Libraries full of history on the subject. It is no wonder that the most popular and well know healer/midwife uses magic as her main source of healing. Helen's heals will leave you feeling completely rejuvenated and refreshed. Her warm touch can even remove most common curses. The common cold may take a little longer. Even though she is a healer, she is quite a germ freak. Jerard's Junction The workshop of a grandiose wizard, Jerard’s Junction, is open to occasional travelers or the regular shopper! Locals know the location well not just because of the owner’s bold attitude and personality. Renovated from a infamous tavern, the shop brought light and life back to the this bustling corner of Sudbury. Whether from walking down the street, running on rooftops, or flying in the air, one cannot miss the bright orange shingles and continuous steam rising out of the pipes and chimneys. Climbing the stairs and opening the door, customers are welcomed to a open shop filled with tables and shelves displaying items for both daily use and special occasions. Small trinkets to large tools. Requests and orders for something special are always welcome; within reason of course. Potions and Perapts. Swords and Scarfs. Feather Dusters and Fire Deflectors. You can find it all at Jerard’s Junction. As long as the owner isn’t running off that is. Rollin' Royce The Rollin Royce is fronted by a potions & smokes shop. A blue door leads everyone inside, the true purpose of the RR hides behind a red curtain. There are six 6 "live in" ladies (other come from the local area). A spiral stair leads to the second story where the other 3 similar rooms are located. There is a small balcony which overlooks the first floor. A large bed is set-in to the floor under the dome glass ceiling at the center of the main room. Many couches, pillows, and plush rugs can be found within the main room. The bar serves full tavern fair and many drinks, specialty snacks and potions. (Click Image to Expand) Little Teapot Little Teapot is a tea house run by a man named Chequine, who is obsessed with all things porcelain. Porcelain dolls line the walls, watching your every move creepily. All sorts of examples of the porcelain arts adorn the shop, carefully contained in glass boxes. Most importantly of all, the teacups themselves, many of them imported from far off lands. All of the teacups come to you, not being served by a waitress, Chequine employing his magical talents just for the task. Philtered Dose Sudbury is widely known for its magically inclined citizens. People from all walks of Simul come to the great city to learn and explore their own abilities. Within its walls, Sudbury holds one of the best potions shops in the land. You will not be disappointed with their owner's, Osorin's, selection of vials. Menu Here Bountiful A bakery run by a woman named Betty. She is known for putting a little enchantment here and there to make her bread infinitely more delicious to the pallet, and she proclaims that it is one of if not the best bakery in the entire kingdom. The people who taste what she makes can’t exactly disagree.

Gao Shan Gao Shan: A hidden gem among the eastern side of the Alderman Mountains. If you happen to make it there, be prepared for beautiful scenery and a peaceful surrounding. The citizens love to tend to their gardens and paint their homes in beautiful rainbows of purple and yellow and red. They take great pride in their dwellings, which is easy to see. The city is quiet, the people are private, and you can find yourself asylum among its walls. This is upheld by its protectors. You wouldn't want to find yourself in a bind here. Troublemakers are not welcome. Year Incorporated: 1500 Population: Approximately 10,000 Human: 67% Elven: 20% Dwarven: 3% Other: 10% Magically Inclined: Approximately 12% Updates Kora's Karamels A bakery and sweets shop run by a woman named Kora, a kitsune who dedicates her life to the sweet and tooth-killing. All sorts of strange candies can be found here as well as most varieties of baked goods, in the style of her homeland and the style of the natives of Simul. As a second measure to save money, she will also offer massages in the back if you can pay. Lady Thay N'oes Got yourself into some trouble again, didn't ya? No worries. Lady Thay N'oes is here to take care of you in a snap! Often faced with the protectors of Gao Shan who just so happen to cut themselves frequently (How strange, right?), Lady Thay is well known for her excellent patches and stitches. Not just a healer, Lady Thay is an amazing midwife. Having brought over a thousand children into the world in her day, she can take care of you in every which way! (HA! THAT FREAKING RHYMED! XD) Chartam Collection Gao Shan is known for having such high standards. Not only in the community, but in appearance. One would think the library would be just as organized and upheld. Looking at it from the outside would also give this assumption. Walking into the doors, however, you will be met with a mess of books. Not because the caretaker, Song, does not care. But because there is a literal dragon on premises. Yes. His name is Noodle. He has no abilities that normal dragons have. No fire breath. Flightless. And he is about as big as a small dog. Messy should have been his middle name. Constantly pulling books from the shelves just to plop down on top of them. He may be a dragon, but he is quite friendly! The Mystic Deer A tavern run by a retired samurai from across the sea named Sho Mayozaki. A katana hangs above the fireplace and the smell of cherry blossoms wafts constantly through the air. The place is designed in typical Gao Shanese style, though it also incorporates a little bit of foreign styles as well. It is said to have the best sake in the city, and the wisdom imparted by the owner is not something to take for granted. Chai Out A tea shop that sells many teas that are native to the people of Gao Shan. The owner, Sayaki Kimosana, is known for believing heavily in things like chakra and karma, and offers many spiritual methods of help on the side. It is believed that she infuses her teas with mystical energies, leaving people who drink it notably refreshed. Steel Arms Steel Arms, located within Gao Shan, is one of the most prestigious and decorated blacksmiths in all of Simul. With a steady employee count of twelve, items are often made rather quickly. The head of the shop, Xia, is the one who takes the orders, but doles them out appropriately. Engraved on every piece, you will find their stamp of approval, the red cat. No one quite knows what it stands for other than the smiths themselves showing off. The Red Sea The Red Sea is a park and garden located in Gao Shan. Here, the grass is dotted by thickets of cherry blossoms, also known as sakura trees. It is a popular spot for picnics and meditation, and there is a large pond with fish from other lands. The park is home to a man known only as the Flower Sage, who seems to be a true expert on all things flora and fauna. Even the most obscure questions he knows the answer to. Many seek his wisdom on unrelated matters he is viewed as so wise, like relationship issues. He usually tells these people to go away. Tonic Tonic is such a simple name for such a sinister looking shop. Upon entering, you will be greeted with many different looking bottles filled what seems to be souls of the damned. This is far from the truth. From a child, Blaize had always been fascinated by the dark and macabre. Having a knack for making potions of all sorts, he decided to mix the two. Even the healing potions look sketchy, but not a single person would question his ability. Menu Here Katana Cuts A butcher’s shop that is run by a man with draconic blood flowing through his veins, named Dargo Koushin. He does not, contrary to popular belief, cut his meat with a katana. He does, however, offer to cook the meat he sells with his fire breath.
