The natural order of things is to be renewed, after a wildfire sweeps through a forest, the land rebuilds itself, the forest grows again.
Mankind, in many ways, shares this principal.
The abandoned settlement of Iris has found a new life, a new vigor.
Life here is quaint, almost liminal. Lazy smoke escapes chimneys as thatched buildings stand placid against a backdrop of rolling hills.
Formalities often grace the start of such things, there are no formalities here. Grand crowds, Announcements, Public Addresses? These are the business of cities.
What you hear of Arcadia, you hear through the grapevine, the rumor mill. It is perhaps the odd traveling merchant you have spoken with. Possibly, through wandering the wondrous woods you happened came across it. Whatever the case may be, you are now aware of it's existence.
It is said to be a place of agriculture and animal husbandry. Sheep can be found wandering it's hillsides in numbers. Technologically, it appears as a relic of another time, or perhaps this is merely due to the nature of it's founding. One will not find lanterns or magitech lighting here, just the gentle clicks of warm dancing braziers that light the way. Hard-work gets you far in Arcadia, or so it is said.
Small settlements such as these often have little worldly concerns, though Arcadia cares as brother and sister for those settlements which share in it's kindred spirit.
Those seeking residence should contact either William Iscariot, or Iaoel for such matters. Toto unfortunately, has been forbidden from issuing additional permits. They may all typically be found within Arcadia, and even abroad, from time to time.
(You may contact .avee on discord as well.)
