Faenor of the Silver Laurel wrote: Freedom and unlimited resources? The most I would do would delve underground halls deeper, extend treetop cities farther, and build defenses higher. I would establish armories deep within the earth, as a refuge for when darkness once again overshadows Endorë. My king Thingol and Finrod the beloved did so, and they lasted long into the War and Siege. My goal is to protect the Goldenwood to the last Elf, and I shall do so as much as possible.

On a different note, concerning the above, are we allowed to build up the lands with additional defenses and strong places of refuge? I saw no personal structures, but these are for the defense of the realm and for all who dwell under the protection of the Eldar of Lóriën. I sincerely enjoy making talans after the fashion of the Galadhrim, and would love to make more if people would use them. Caras Galadhon is already in the map as the capital of Lothlorien. Perhaps if you wanted to add extra defenses and places to store riches, that would be acceptable...

What I meant by "no personal structures" was creations that don't belong in Middle-earth, like redstone machines, Vanilla houses, or things of that nature. As long as the creation fits the overall asthetic of your faction, then it shouldn't really be a problem.

I have had people use the freedom to make their captials testing grounds for all sorts of creations that are simply out of place (mob grinders, lava traps, testing balrogs, etc). The freedom of resources is so that you can supply your needs as a lord of your faction, not to spawn things like a maniac.

And one more thing. You mentioned at the end of your comment "if people would use them". Was that just your wording for role play? Because I hope you read above, this is going to be a pretty small server for a while; after I let people in, there will be max 6 players who will be able to enter the server. If you had the picture of many players joining the Lothlorien faction and walking around under your command, that isn't the case that the moment.

...maybe, if I grow more open to the idea of having outside players on my server, I will let more people in to be captains, advisors, etc., under leadership of faction leaders (potentially people like you).
