Histories of Adventure and Challange

Arowhun was a mighty adventurer who ran through the Freedom wilderness, seeking fame and fortune through labor from 2009 to 2013. His claim to fame is that he got as far as he did in the game without paying a penny of real world money. The first thing he did after joining the game on the Island of Independence was ask "How do you make money?" Someone quickly responded by saying that he should find a job with someone, and that the town of Gustaberg was hiring. Arowhun then looked at his map, and saw that Gustaberg was across the Inner Sea from his location near Freedom Market.

He attempted three times to cross the sea, but he failed each time. At first he tried swimming, but he made it 9 meters from the other side before drowning. Then, he tried walking around south from Freedom Docks, past the town of Water's Edge. He had to stop walking that way when the coast-side road turned into a vertical slope. Finally, Arowhun looked at his map closely, and north of him at Black Dog Isle, he saw a dotted line on the map labeled "boat bridge". He had no idea what this was, but he guessed it was a way to cross.

Arowhun made his way north, past the towns of Liberty and Nuclear Waste Silo. At this time, the island of Independence was overpopulated and busting at its seems. Because of this, the slums around The Howl were massive and confusing. Arowhun got stuck between slopes, fences, and decaying hovels before he decided to give up and try something else. He made it up to Black Dog Isle, but he failed to see where the "boat bridge" was. Instead, he went back to The Howl and started asking if any villages were accepting new people.

Arowhun recieved a message from Tenderwolf, who recruited him into his homestead deed named "The Wolf's Den" with an alt, and Arowhun then suicide-ported to his deed. It was a wonderful place on a steppe next to a lake. Tenderwolf was building a farm by flattening a giant hill, and he had a pet greenish dog to keep him company. Arowhun loved the location, but when Tenderwolf logged off, Arowhun was alone. He hated this so much that he suicide-ported back to The Howl to ask for another town. At this point, Arowhun came to the conclusion that for now on, he will make sure he is living around other people. Otherwise, it wouldn't be nearly as fun as it could be.

Arowhun was soon recruited by someone that wanted to found a new town in the East, just west of The Western Wall. Instead of suicide porting this time, Arowhun was boated over across the Inner Sea. He was then led with a group of other new players deep into the woods. He walked past the impressive desert Nation of Grizlam, and hilariously, his group walked right through Gustaberg. It was an amazing experiance for Arowhun to be in the woods when the token was dropped, and to be there as the trees were cut down and the land was flattened. The town of Stonewood Pass is still Arowhun's favorite part of his adventure. He saw the town form from nothing, and the whole process fascinated him. He went out exploring, and he ran into the massive castle of Plunder Hold. He asked his mayor about it, and the mayor said it was built by someone all on his own, and that the person had been there for a very long time (he is still there today, and I'm writing this in 2013). The group aggreed that every villager has one 2x3 house. The mayor hired someone to come and build some of the brick buildings, and this interested Arowhun greatly. He thought that maybe he could copy this person's profession, and use the money he earned to get premium. So, when Arowhun's house was finished, he asked for a storage shed, and he made a store sign next to his house that said "Arowhun's Mason Shop". He planned on making bricks in the town's mine, storing them in his house, then carting them to the coast and boating them over to buyers. His plans of doing this never worked out, because he couldn't use boats as f2p (f2p could drive large carts back then)

Arowhun was eager to explore the massive island of Independence (known simply as "Freedom" at this time, because Deliverance and Exodus weren't added yet), and he found a fence ladder to get to the middle ring of Dragon Fang. He jumped off from the top and survived without a scratch (fall damage wasn't added yet).

Behind Stonewood Pass was an archery range designed by one of the villagers, and behind that was a vertical rock slope. The instant Arowhun saw the mountain, he wanted to get to the top. More experianced people in the town warned that there could be something terrible on top, like a dragon or kyklops (this person didn't know all the uniques on the island were already Penned or killed). In order to climb up, Arowhun and some of the other villagers climbed up 15 metters, mined inward and created a small cave, and then repeated. They used each cave on the way up to regain their stamina to go up further. Their process of creating this crude ladder was interrupted when their path was blocked by a starving champion brown bear. The creature was very frightening to Arowhun, so he stayed far away from it. One of the villagers shot arrows at it with his longbow, and the bear was lured down. The group ganked up on the bear and killed it. Then they butchered it and shared the meat in a meal of celebration. After a few more days of building the ladder the cliff turned into dirt so they could sadly climb no higher (they didn't realize that they could have built fences).

Some people in the town decided that they didn't like the forest, and he wanted to copy Nation of Grizlam by creating a desert. This angered Arowhun and a few of the other villagers, because they really enjoyed the forest. Arowhun had to quit the game for a few months, so he never saw what resulted of this dispute. When he returned, he found the town abandoned, with a sign that said "ranoutofmoneyhadtoleave" in the middle of the unfinished desert(the small desert project is still there, and you can see it on the Independence map north of Gustaberg. Stonewood Pass was directly east of that desert, hugging the mountain.).

He was hired to do jobs across Independence, Deliverance, Exodus, and Celebration, and he became quite good at finding loot in abandoned settlements. If asked what he did for a living, he would reply that he was a "traveling worker." Early on, he lived in towns, but his lifestyle of traveling eventully led him to living on the road. The closest thing he had to a house was his row boat made by Raykow named "The Emerald Arrow". Since he played without premium time, he had to learn how to avoid aggressive wildlife during his travels. If someone told Arowhun that he was crazy, he would simply reply with "Don't worry, I'm a proffesional." This was very much true, because there were many times Arowhun taught other players his techniques for mob avoiding.

He eventually got tired of this lifestyle, and he settled down on Xiled's deed named "Olive Lake Resort" on Exodus. Xiled payed his premium, and in return Arowhun worked as a priest of Magranon. Eventually, Xiled decided to let him go, so Arowhun moved on to Epic. On Serenity, Arowhun joined up with a group he ran into that was building on Shoehorn bay. The group included Mechanicalweakness, Swiftasaleapord, Yacheeckymug (the group's comedian and drunkard), [[player:Amyzel|Amyzel], [[player:Usckmyrcks|Usckmyrcks], Dmpuffy, Quoaz, and Akhnz.Samotage came by on his boat, and he recruited them to help him rebuild the town of Lightshore on Lightshore Cannal. In the times of the Teutonic Knights, the deed was over 30 strong, but one day the Blacklighters came and destroyed it. Avees, the original founder of Lightshore, had recently quit the game. Before leaving, he asked Samotage to rebuild his town for him, and he gladly accepted. Avees gave Samotage his enchated leather armor to wear, and he still wears it to this day. The group worked on imping the walls, and fought off a few nogumps with the help of guards. One day, they heard that raiders were dangerously close, so the group fled into the forests north of the cannal. Most of them ended up getting killed by wildlife, but a few including Arowhun made it to a safe location. The group cried out for help, and down the hills around Soggydog point came Nightswatch on a fully armored horse. He saved the survivors by leading them out of the dangerous forest and back to Lightshore (the raiders had already left the island). Meanwhile, Arowhun was searching for someone that would be willing to hire him as a priest, because he was failing to pay his premium.
