Alright, folks, after some urging, some thought, and some work, I've decided to throw open the gates of Andoran* for the B12 folks. Everybody's welcome (especially old hands willing to teach!), though my currently sole village mate and I are expecting doe-eyed newbies. (No offense meant, of course, but H&H does have a bit of a learning curve.)
I should mention up front that this isn't isn't a new embark - we're reclaiming a fortress that the larger B12 group emptied out of vile raiders and thieves roughly a couple of months ago. I've cleaned it up some, myself, but it's still largely a dilapidated and thoroughly looted ruin. (Most thoroughly looted by yours truly, of course
) There's relatively little infrastructure left from the original inhabitants (mostly pieces of wall), so we're pretty free to build how we want.
So, to cut to the chase, we're in a well-established area, under the protection of a well-respected, well-networked group (comprised of many B12ers as well), and need all the new hands we can get (and are quite willing to teach them).
Strike the earth!

Yes, it's not very dwarfie - at the time it was picked, the plan was different and it might have been bad to openly identify myself as part of the larger B12 group.Anyway, brand-new prospective players should either post here or send me a PM requesting the
hearth secret that will let them spawn here. It's basically a password that you can tell the fellow in the top-left of the character creation room, and you'll spawn by my hearthfire. This is also open to folks willing to start a new character or off an old one and reincarnate him.
Established folk who want to move here without having to kill the character or start fresh should let me know as well. We can kin each other, party up, and you walk towards me until you get close enough to teleport to the village idol. I should note this requires a lot of tramping through wilderness at the mercy of whatever decides you look tasty, and could be a long and arduous task.
Please feel free to ask questions, request clarification, etc. etc.
Alright, had a discussion with the now-chieftain (Coriander), and we've set up a system so we have more than just me, personally, accepting people to the village.
I'll now be PMing two hearth secrets - the first one is the one you should spawn at. If I (in-game name AlyssaXenos) am not there, then you can use the second to add Coriander to your kin list and whisper him in-game to get citizenship. I'll probably repeat this in my PM, just in case (Cor doesn't currently live inside the village limits, so spawning with him would be inconvenient).
