Driftwood MMC - Year 1 - Autumn
Quite an eventful autumn season:
- Church & Cemetary was built, with Clarissa Benedict moving in as the parish priest.
- Alexander Harwood wedded Helen Dowrick, and they had a daughter, Diana Harwood. Helen nearly died in the process!
- Sir Roberte Mondegreen defied tradition and married Margery Dowrick, setting her up with a cottage and hedge tavern, The Orange Octopus. They had a son, Timothy Mondegreen.
- A burglar, George Bulstrode, was captured and locked in the prison tower at the barracks. He was later released.
- Bryanna Glanndour became the settlement’s midwife & healer.
- Joshua Harwood became the settlement’s painter.
- Old Daveth Dowrick passed away, due to an elder’s cough.
- Lord Lionel Mondegreen had several brushes with death but survived and was finally able to arrange a good match for his daughter. Primrose Mondegreen and Elliot Moore were married and took the surname Morgreen.
- A love-square developed between Primrose, her lover Michael Rudhall, her husband Elliot, and his lover Hannah Shepherd. Michael and Hannah are exes, too. I might need a diagram for that one! XD
The royal treasure has now collected $62,091 in taxes! With that threshold reached, the hedge tavern set up, and the midwife/healer and painter positions all filled, the settlement is upgraded to a Hamlet. This means new families and new lots in the winter! We get:
- 1 new Merchant family
- 1 new Yeoman family
- Weekly Market, run by the merchants
- Midsummer Faire (not the most fitting for the winter time, but ah well)
- Foundling Home, with orphans and an Abbess living there
- Some new soilders, as the barracks are feeling pretty quiet and with the population getting bigger the valley needs more defense
I’ve been busy building the lots and making the sims and am excited to introduce them!
