I plan on exterminating most of the Forest, in all truth. There will be no lack of anything, it is one forest, forests grow back. Many can be planted.Sess'sth wrote:I wish to know how much of the southern forests you are willing to remove from our wonderous isle in order to build your city.
The southern woods that you claim are at least one-fifth of the forestry in all of Gobiath, Briar, Sirani, and Tol Vanima combined. I trust you shan't remove the southern woods entirely during the course of your project. This would easilly result in large-scale economical problems (extreme loss of wood, fruits, and hunting game which may lead to starvation and lack of building materials, tools, and even common weapons to keep oneself protected).
Also, your boundaries don't exactly make sense to me. What of the Skeleton woods and the remainder of the southern woods just south of your land? In claiming the area north of these places from coast to coast, you are removing them from the rest of the mainland. To enter these forests, others must travel through your borders, which is foolish and poor planning. Are you going to charge travellers to enter those lands, even if they are not yours? If that is the case, why not simply claim the entire southern peninsula? At least there are ways to walk around the crossroads of Trollsbane (mountain passages, rivers) but many may have to SWIM around your borders to reach the tips of the southern peninsula. This makes no sense to me in the least.
A few thoughts that I hope may be cleared up.

These forests are the closest to Trollsbane. A forest cannot grow back if you are to build where the trees once were. Grow more forests, you say? This isle is tiny. Where there is not a forest, there is a desert, a swamp, or mountains. In exterminating these woods, all hunting game to the south will be slain or will flee, thus making meat harder to gather. We will have to go elsewhere to gather our herbs and pick our fruit; the few trees in Trollsbane itself are almost always barren from over-picking. We will endanger our lumberjacks and carpenters as they wander farther and farther from home to chop logs and saw branches. If there won't be a lack of these things, their prices shall certainly rise to great heights.Fjaen Greybone wrote:I plan on exterminating most of the Forest, in all truth.

I plan on using the land to the south of my claim for farmland and the like. I am not chargin admittance into the city, but I do plan to place a fee on citizenship much as Trollsbane has done.

Why not simply claim the rest of the southern peninsula, if you plan on building there anyway? Afterall, that would be building on land that is not yours, the same thing as if you were to suddenly build inside Trollsbane (which you practically are anyway, being but a stone's throw away).
I see little reason for another town to be built so close to the main crossroads of our isle. Why not try to run for governor yourself, and have your supportors help you gain power in Trollsbane? Your rules do not seem to vary much from those of Trollsbane, anyway. What makes your land worth living in versus the main town that already exists? Do you plan on making this land into a harbor-city where Gobiath will gain better contact with other nations leagues away?
