Changes

'''Arkanor''' is was a [[Jenn-Kellon]] player who currently resides resided in and is was an Elder of [[Woodscove]] on the [[Server Types#Wild server details|Wild Server]]. He follows followed [[Vynora]]. Arkanor specializes specialized in smithing, specifically [[Blacksmithing]]. Current His titles are were (in order of receipt): Miner, Blacksmith, Trollslayer, Goldsmith. He tends tended to have a sarcastic sense of humor, possibly too sarcastic, and would ask have asked that no one be offended and/or take him too seriously.

Arkanor started Wurm during the first week of Gold 2, spending the first week as a nomad with no skill specialization and a very low foodbar. Fortunately, [[Player:Surplusxmas|Surplusxmas]] invited him to join the newly formed village of [[Ademar]], providing a stable base for Arkanor to 'get his footing'. As time passed he became the village blacksmith and weaponsmith, eventually being offered (and declining) a position as a Mayor. Instead accepting His favorite memories during this time were discovering the beauty of Wurm, whether mining iron ore in the Ademar cavern by the light of a lantern, making a moonlit journey to his farm (before Maincorpse and Cheater created the highway that cut through the middle of it), standing on the upper tier of the village and looking at Lake Ademar while the sun set, or pounding away at his forge while chatting to friends in /village. Eventually, he accepted a promotion to Elder, he and remained in Ademar until 18 August 2007, when he elected to leave due to continuing inactivity among Ademar's citizens.

Suiciding to NT, he applied and was accepted into [[Jewelspar]] as a trial citizen on 19 August 2007. Electing to live off-deed rather than in communal on-deed housing, he eventually created a walled compound with house, and over the course of several apathy-laden weeks replenished his supply of tools and miscellaneous items. Unfortunately the scourge of inactivity had followed him, laying waste the brave citizens of Jewelspar one by one. From the second week in September onward Arkanor, not being a cook, subsisted on raw meat. He did have the comfort of exploring the quickly encroaching forests and discovering ruined accomplishments of the once-promising Jewelspar citizenry. Eventually [[Player:Oni|Oni]] paid a visit to Jewelspar, prompting Arkanor to cave into loneliness and boredom (and hunger). With a cart of worldly possessions, he departed Jewelspar on 7 October 2007.

Accepting Oni's offer, Arkanor moved to Grimston, rafting his items south along the shoreline. After two months of living like a hobo due to not having a house on-deed, Arkanor was pleased to have a house, forge, and iron mine all in close proximity. Not to mention food. He spent a month in Grimston in comfort working on skills, but also in boredom. While Oni's trench and thorns provided amusement (and occasional death), the road up to the Tundra overlooked the sea, and the calls of the gulls could be heard. By the start of November the monotony of Home began to take its toll at long last, and something more was needed. Something... Wilder.  === Woodscove - Jenn Kellon === Arkanor gave Oni the deed to his house on 9 November, left all his items behind, and set out West towards Wild on 10 November. Crossing south of the Black Light, he suicided to the Landing and walked from there to the site of what would become the first Size 20 village in Gold 2, Woodscove. Woodscove was founded on approximately 10 November, and on 23 December was expanded by the mayor Dadd to Size 50, making it the largest village in Wurm Gold history. In mid-February, with the introduction of Mol-Rehan, it was decided to disband Woodscove and re-establish it as one of the first major Mol-Rehan cities. The following is a brief description of 'Old Woodscove', lest it perish to the ages. Old Woodscove's 'citadel', the original Size 20 double-walled area, was a two-tiered city. The lower tier was for citizen housing and the upper tier for farm space and public access buildings. Following the expansion, a significant portion of the northwest was walled off and work had begun on an external trench. An enormous natural depression had been refined by Crazybill into the three-tier deep Woodscove Arena, with a level sand floor, sheer slabbed sides, and an enormous mine for hide-and-seek or gladiator entrances. New citizens established numerous buildings in this walled area. Unfortunately, much of the expanded Size 50 area, particularly to the southeast, was left unused, as virgin forest. The Woodscove Petting Zoo included numerous champion animals, such as Champion Mountain Lions, Brown Bears, Black Bears, Deer, Dogs, Wolves, and Scorpions.

=== Woodscove - Mol Rehan ===

It is at this point that Arkanor gave Oni 's story comes to its close. Prior to the move, his motivation to play Wurm had declined for a number of reasons. The water no longer held its shimmer, the monotony of shaping iron no longer enticed, and many other things. He moved to Gold Coast with the other remaining citizens, preparing to head to a prospective deed to his house on 9 Novembersite, but an encounter with bears and a champion scorpion left him dead with all his items behindand almost a gold in cash lost. While these were recovered by village mates, by the time Arkanor logged in several days later the items had been 'redistributed', leaving him with nothing. Many of his friends had left Wurm, lost to time and set space. The spark of fun had not merely guttered, it had gone out West towards Wild on 10 November. Crossing south of Arkanor never built a house in New Woodscove. He logged in occasionally to observe the Black Light, village's progress. Features he suicided to observed of New Woodscove included the Landing acropolis-like elevated walled village center (and walked from there to the original site of what would become habitation), the first Size 20 village in Gold 2Russian Doll-like token houses, Woodscove. Woodscove was founded on approximately 10 November, and on 23 December was expanded by the mayor Dadd to successful walling of the entire Size 50deed with no space outside the walls, making it and Crazybill's initial work on the largest village in Wurm Gold historydirt wall fortifications.
