We've done a lot since the past Bryn News! I'm pleased to say that a significant percentage of the grief is cleaned up, largely thanks to volunteers, and there are multiple cleared plots available for new people. While some private land is still griefed, it is mostly minor things like broken glass or small entry holes. This should be relatively easy to fix. Additionally, 2 of our large trees have been restored, including the long gone tree around which Bryn was originally built.

Factory Status:

We currently have 4 factoies: The Wood Cauldron, Charcoal Burner, Stone Smelter, and Sand Smelter. As of today all are at approximately 50% health and should not be in danger of funtionality loss until about two weeks from now The most exciting thing, however, is that ArkenX and I will be building some of the diamond equipment factories in the near future, so we will have access to high tier goods once again. Additionally, after our portal farm is fixed, we will have enough materials that we can begin to run a diamond cauldron and start chugging out XP to either use or sell.

Transportation:

As some of you may know, we are no longer directly attached to Orion by rail. The old line is still in service but it is disconnected and a transfer is now necessary. While this is unfortunate, it does present us with an opportunity. In the semi-long term, I'd like to build a tunnel directly west to intersect the new Aurora-Orion line. this will greatly improve travel time to Orion, and may once again make us a transport hub as the fastest way from the -/- to Fellowship will be through Bryn. Additionally, Remnant's rail tunnel to Bryn has been dug, and is now awaiting tracks. If all goes well, the new line should be up and running soon!

To reflect these new lines changes it may be in our best interest to remodel the rail station, though this need not be a priority at the moment.
