The Village of Small Bears is a village on Independence, part of the Freedom Isles, situated in the southern half of the Island. It has been founded by Guru Bear, the original founder of the Village of the Small Bears, a settlement on the now abandoned Jenn Kellon home land. The rest of this article is currently about the old village. '''The Village of the Small Bears''' is was a size 10 [[Jenn-Kellon]] [[Settlement|village]] Village with pretensions to grandeur. It is to be found on the [[Server Types#Home server details|Home Server]] due east of [[Newtown]], over the hill and down to the lake. It is part of a larger community of Villages, Homesteads, and non-deeded farms and cottages gathered round the western end of the lake, that are loosely referred to as The Bears of Wurm.
Of note are the two grand Colossi, The Small Bear and The Old Bear, that hold vigil over the Bay of Bears from their small islands just in front of Le Grande Promenade D'Ours.
== About the village ==
The village sits on the shore of a beautiful bay, The Bay of Bears, and is bordered to its west by woodland, to its east and north by the bay, and to the south by the main highway to [[Newtown]]. Three sides of the village, western, southern and eastern, are protected by [[Tall_stone_wall|tall stone walls]]; the Northern side of the village is open to the bay.
The village has been built on the faint remnants of previous occupation, but to accommodate the new larger settlement land has been reclaimed from the lake and a small hillock has been brought down to lake level with one tier. This reclamation has included the construction of a small harbour and a fishing pier that reaches out beyond the village boundary into deeper water.
=== Buildings ===
The village it self is only half constructed. Two residences have been completed in the south-western corner of the village and are home to the Mayor and [[Player:Becky|Becky]]. In addition, there is a village store, a workshop next to the forge, a small shed and Fore Paws Village Shop. This shop is located by the front gate and is home to a [[Trader|Public Trader]], though from time to time we restrict access. The shop is accessible to travellers and local residents without the need to enter the village front gate, though during transactions they are safe within the village boundary and are subject to the protection of the [[Spirit_guards|Spirit Guards]].
Around the harbour area there are now several stone houses and two wooden cottages, plus some storage.
=== Resources ===
The village has a large internal farm area growing [[Pumpkin|Pumpkins]], [[Potato|Potatos]], [[Oat|Cereals]], [[Corn]], [[wemp plants|Wemp]] and [[Cotton]] - all with good success. We also have 1 large farm area across the road from the Village on Pine Lake, and another a little further down which is a community project for the Bears of Wurm.
We have access to a large [[mine]] with 5 [[Iron_ore|iron veins]]. This mine has also broken through into older working which gave us some [[Cave_bug|cave bug]] issues - gallantly eradicated by Syrinx and Terasar.

== How to find us ==
The village is only a few minutes away from [[Newtown]] and is simple to locate. Head east from [[Newtown]] over the half completed land bridge across the lake. Turn left on the eastern shore and follow the path up the side of the hill. Continue on the path over the hill and down the other side. At the junction, as the main highway turns left towards [[Serene Bear Landing]], continue straight on down the hill following the smaller path; the path widens again after a few hundred meters. The Village of Small Bears will come into your sight on the left hand side of the road behind the long tall stone walls.
