Airhaven

Airhaven is a town nestled in the tranquil Hollow Hills of the +,-. A stone's throw from the bustling metropolises of Falstadt and Yoahtl, the snow-dusted hills provide a sanctuary for all players where violence is heavily discouraged and bounty hunting is illegal. The expansive hollow hills underneath provide opportunities for mob hunters, while small farms and abundant spruce growth allow for more passive farming to take place. Despite this, its primary export is its tourism.

Foundation


After the adoption of Lotus by Impasse, RektTangle left the -,- for Commonwealth. Soon finding the bustling city life to be to his distaste, he moved south to Vale, where he started a building project that had been on his mind for months. He founded Airhaven on the least valuable land he could find: firstly, hollow hills meant that no mining could occur under Airhaven. The biome was Extreme Hills fraught with peaks and ravines, such that farming was very limited. As such, the only value the land had was for buildings upon it- which was exactly what RektTangle aspired to do.

Independence
Initially, the land was first registered as a district of Vale, but as activity declined, RaktTangle moved to Falstadt and placed the area under its protection. Now the land is in a limbo state; it is mostly independent but the lead Shambali is still a dual citizen with Falstadt and frequently travels there to help with projects. Despite this, Airhaven does not inherit several of Falstadt's laws, such as players barred from entering.

Exp Prospects
Being on a single biome bordering a river/ocean, Airhaven's exp production is practically nonexistent. This is further compounded by the fact that terraforming the natural landscape around the settlement is highly discouraged.

Mining
Airhaven has no mines. The hollow hills start at approximately y=40 and continue down to a dirt floor at y=4, with only one or two layers of stone above bedrock. This makes mining for valuable ores impossible. Airhaven imports ore, or more accurately exports mining work while keeping any ore found for themselves.

Tourism
Tourism is Airhaven's chief and only export. It is currently ranked as a 5/5 destination by Gjum, and an S rank civilization by Specificlanguage.
