Town Description
Timbervale is on the Western Continent, nestled in between two mighty rivers and the vast Western forests. The city is run by Lord Stanton Pinecrest (Boulderpaul) who is the head of House Pinecrest. The focus of Timbervale is community and cooperation. We work together on common goals that anyone in the city wishes to achieve. Each member has a voice, and each member’s opinion matters. If you are looking for a tight knit group, wish to help a close group of friends and have a good time doing it then Timbervale is the place for you!How to get there
Timbervale has a ship moored in Port Silver. Look for the end ship with red and white sails. Timbervale is the main hub for all the Southern Towns, so if you wish to travel onto those places you will need to travel to Timbervale first. Once there, use the smaller ships to reach the various other destinations.How to become a Resident of the town

Tax Rate
The Tax is currently set at 1000r a week. Every penny is used only for maintenance and upgrades to the city. The plots alone for the city cost over three quarters of a million rads and that’s just for the land! We expect each member to pay the weekly tax, but also encourage larger donations. Be sure to read this thread for more information about Taxes. Please remember that voting each day gives 7000r a week so everyone will easily be able to afford the taxes.
Homes
Each Town member is entitled to one house. All houses are pre-built so you can take a look around and choose the house that most suits you. Once you are accepted into the city and have chosen a home, please put a sign next to your door with the following information:RP name

Job in town
If you have a special need for more space, please discuss with the city leaders. Please note that if a town member becomes inactive, without prior warning given a Council member, then their house may be emptied and made ready to be used by new town members. Items from these abandoned houses will be stored for one month from the last login of the town member, after that they will be stored for town use or given to members who need the item.
Shops
Any Town member can start a shop, but numbers are limited. As with houses, all shops are pre-built and most of them reside in the Market Square. Shops are carefully chosen so that none compete on items or prices. There is a weekly rental for shop properties which is independent from any other taxes for the city. This rental is currently set at 500r per week. When a town member starts a new shop, details will be explained regarding how to pay the rent.Building Code
Here at Timbervale we provide housing for every member. To keep in the cities theme and general look we ask you to not change or modify the outside of any structure without explicit permission. The inside of your home is however open to be customized however you would like it to be. Please be sure keep a medieval/fantasy theme though. Basements can not go any deeper then 10 blocks and must remain within the footprint of your home. We ask this so we do not undermine our fair city as well as leaving an area for possible future expansion and projects. Please note that basement sizes will be checked often. If you’re chosen home does not have a chimney and you wish for one, please let one of the town leaders know and we will be more then happy to install it for you. If you want any other exterior alterations then again please contact the town leaders, don’t just change the house yourself! If you would like special permission for a build that does not already exist then submit it to the city council.RP & Events
We are actively encouraging the use of Timbervale for hosting special events and RP within our city walls. If you are interested in running an event please do contact one of the city leaders to begin planning. We have areas in the city like the Arena, Training Barracks and Taverns that are perfect locations for RPing and we encourage players to RP. That said, if you are new to RP or only wish to practice it occasionally that is not a problem at all.
