The borders of the Hamlet of Greenbriar are the Island known as Briar in it’s entirety claiming half of the northern bridge and 10 meters surrounding the Island’s perimeter.

Geography:
The land of the Hamlet of Greenbriar is structured in three areas. The hamlet of Greenbriar is defined by hedges on the North, the Bay of Briar on the East and South, and Briar Creek on the West. Mostly fruit and Naldor wood grows here.
North Briar is defined as the part of Isle of Briar north of the hamlet of Greenbriar, to the isle’s northern tip and including half of the bridge to Gobiath. This area is usually safe for travelers. Some conifer wood forest and meadows dominate this area
South Briar is defined as the part of Isle of Briar south of the hamlet of Greenbriar, to the isle’s southern tip. This area has been transformed by a volcanic eruption and some Dark Magic into a 'hellish' place of undead monsters and dangers. This area is only to be traveled at your own risk.

During his daily chat with Todd the cute but ever so cheeky halfling hears of this new village he had tried to make before, with little result. The halfling asked Todd to write him a note to place up there because Todd knew his deepest darkest seceret, anyway, the note went like this.

Dear Bottom.

I would like to ask to become a citizens and speak with you sometime!

The long awaited details about the 'Defense Force' have been added to the Town Charter. We have decided to modify it into two forces, Police for domestic support and Militia for greater but uncommon needs.

We have also added Grant Rothman, who by request has asked to assist us to defend our isle. He has been appointed as a Captain in the second Regiment.

We are looking for two citizens to serve in the very difficult positions of Sheriff and Field Marshall. Candidates must be experienced, trustworthy and committed to Greenbriar and it's citizens.

We are also looking for three citizens to serve the three year terms of Aldermen. They must be committed to Greenbriar, its citizens and willing to assist in its governance. They will be initially interviewed and appointed by the Mayor, then elected after their terms during our next election in three years.

We have also deleted Law section 12 "Business Licenses". In hindsight, it was contradicting the section about no taxes and discouraged business. Greenbriar is friendly to trade and wish to encourage it .

Thank you.

I appreciate your interest, but we need to wait until more people have filled the ranks. Be patient, a training session is being planned in a couple months. The Militia is just now becoming fleshed out and is not ready yet to hold 'meetings', but soon.

Rectify your mistakes, Bottoms. See, in Greenbriar, we've never really wanted to have a small army, or get involved with the problems of Trollsbane, or go to an insane religious order for help. And besides, you just walked in and took control when people didn't really mind the unchanging nature of our home.

*reads Harvey's message

Harvey remember me fishy...

Harvey listen it is for your own good...

We need to protect Green Briar and it is not blood-thirsty!

Maybe there is a few blood now but if we get attacked and we have no military I would like to see Green Briar then. It would not even be green!

Harvey our island is prune to be attacked do you have an idea of how much bandits there are!

Any ship that comes will see our island.. some ships maybe friendly but others....

A person could not walk around our island without having fright and Dusty wanted change that!

I as a captain myself will kill bandits.

Make our island safe for living!

*closes his eyes and lets out a deep breath

I have said what I wanted but it is your wish to leave or stay...

PS Dusty just did not want Halfling bodies , killed by bandits, lying around

I am serious Harvey without a military you would be a dead body in Green Briar

Green Briar is vey beautiful but along with everything that comes good there is something that is bad

Dear Donal, Harvey and other concerned peoples,

Yes, I have agonized myself over the creation of a militia too. It is the only thing that yet bothers me. As I look across the land, I see Kingdoms, Cities, yeah other villages such as ours having to raise a militia of some sort whether it is a Clan of the Axe such as Silverbrand, Knighthood and town guard such as TrollsBane or a militia such as Varshikar.

Be not deluded in the peace we enjoy here in Greenbriar. There are troubles in Gobiath and the Briar will be drawn into them eventually. How shall we respond?

Shall we be conquered as in ages past? Or shall we stand firm and protect our homes. The only way to deter aggression is to be prepared for it. The only way to do that is to follow other nation's examples and raise a Militia of our own.

I have kept the presence of Militia down to a minimum during peace, with only 4 possible members of Police to be in Greenbriar to protect and serve. The Militia is to be called only in cases of emergency and once in a while for training. The brotherhood of Mercenaries is currently protecting us and making the Isle safe. After all, we can't afford the salary of a Militia full-time.

I know it seems contrary for our Hamlet to have a Militia, but until there is a central, unifying Government in Gobiath, it is necessary. If and when that Government shall be formed, we can turn over a Militia to them and be safe, as a Hamlet should be. However, that day is far away. Trolls Bane is too controversial and the other Nations have not risen to the challenge of unification yet. Someday.

Dusty has a point.

In any case, I suggest you seek an alliance with Varshikar. Perhaps a trade agreement can be made, trading our food for various goods.

The time I have warned of has come. Silverbrand has just declared war on Governor Stephen Rothman, and thereby Trollsbane shall be engulfed in it.

What is the Hamlet's opinion?

Shall we remain Neutral, we have no quarrel with either nation?

Shall we side with Trollsbane, which has offered support to us?

or shall we side with Silverbrand, who's King has also offered support to us?

Just because dwarves are short does not make them kind. Dwarves are grumpy, greedy and arrogant.

And there's nothing wrong with attacking the small if you are in fact small yourself. Idiot lizard.

Dearest Mayor Dusty Bottoms, Lord of the City Greenbriar,
I come to you in the name of the Lands of Zzyathis, home of the Lizardmen. Our boundaries are set and our construction begins. I wish to meet you personally to discuss many things. If, for whatever reason, you deem it necessary for other certain persons (Example: Any Citizen, the Forester Neela, Et Cetera) to attend this meeting as well as yourself, I will surely not object. Zzyathis knocks on your door to propose a peaceful relationship between our lands. We wish to hear your thoughts. Of course, our new frontiers must be respected; we have created laws to make certain that such respect is kept by those of other races. This is a very serious matter to the Lizardmen of Zzyathis. These laws shall be shared and discussed during our meeting. In the future, Zzyathis may become active in the national economy of Gobiath. I have economic propositions for you and for your glorious city.

This meeting will, for the most part, be short and sweet, and I await a response from you. Name a date and time when you shall be available for this meeting, and I will try my best to attend. All I ask is for this meeting to take place somewhere in your territory. Should I be unnavailable during the suggested date and/or time, I will propose a new one. I will give you as much time as you need.

(( OOC: I will be available a little on Thursday and Friday, but probably moreso after those days. Afternoons are better for me than anything else. [12:00pm CST/CET, 6:00pm GMT and later] ))

We would like to congratulate Neela Rabenfeder on volunteering to serve as an Alderman. As you know, this is a very important position on the town council.

An old friend of mine entered the Briar today and requested sanctuary. He is a Dwarf by the name of Alexander Dullblade, lately of Trollsbane. He resigned as a Town Guard and left the city, something about his honor. As he is an admirable fighter and his experience as a guard, and lack of other candidates, we have appointed him as our Sheriff of Greenbriar. He will be serving with all the powers of his office to ensure the safety of the Isle.

I would also like to welcome Anfala Antani as a citizen of Greenbriar. She is a regular in town and has expressed a desire to fill Greenbriar with stories, laughter and merriment again.

Mr. Merryfoot has been removed from the Citizen list per his request.

Another imporatant position, Field Marshall has been vacant. With the war looming, it is imperative that this position is filled. My own sister, Rosy, has volunteered to help us during this. She is new to the Isle, but she helped defend our former village, and when it was overrun, she was captured, abused and escaped. She survived. She later, organized survivors to retaliate against their conquerers in hit and run attacks, vexing them at every roadside. Her ability to see general 'tactics' and battles made her a suitable choice. She has promised to work on her people skills too, which are akin to a dwarf's, no offence Alex.

Speaking about the subject of war:
I and our new Alderman discussed this in a town council meeting and determined that the Hamlet of Greenbriar will remain Neutral during this conflict. We will defend our borders. We can neither offer nor recieve any assistance from Silverbrand or Governor Stephen Rothman, or their allies, during this conflict. We shall remain neutral.

May our sun ever shine and peace reign!

Arr...to me new friends of Greenbriar,

Dusty asked me to make a report.

Today, a mummy was found wanderin' our streets. Well, I waylaid him back inta tha dark ages. He won't be showin his yella skin round here nomore.

That goes fer anythin' stinkin' ta high H@%% and doesn't have a beatin' heart.

Anyways, I also gotta announce an auction will be held fer the three houses and tha Tavern. Accordin' ta section 16 of the Law,

§ 16 Property Ownership
Citizens and Dual citizens may own property in Greenbriar and on the Isle of Briar. They may rent to ‘tenants’ who purchase the right to live on the property.
Non-citizens may not own property on the Isle of the Briar. Such property, if found, will be seized by the Hamlet of Greenbriar for administration.
In the case of absentee owners or abandoned buildings, the Town Council will seize and administrate them on behalf of the Hamlet of Greenbriar until new owners or tenants are acquired through public auction.


Tha absentee owners were givin' fair warnin' ta report before the 25th of Zhas. No one did, an' the Hamlet's gotta sell them ta raise money fer itself. There's no taxes, so this is tha only way beside's private donatins ta get money.

So thats that. We will be havin' tha auction on tha 9th day of Ronas, at tha 5th hour. ((29th July, Noon CST/ 5pm GMT/ 7pm CET))

I will run tha auction as Sheriff, an' there better be no problems, or I will be bustin some heads.

~Alexander Dullblade, Sheriff of Greenbriar~
