Settlement:Holmgard

Just as the historic Holmgard served as the gateway for Varengian Vikings traveling east through Gardariki and to the riches of Miklagard, the Holmgard deed on Release server aims to help new players learn to survive (and strive) in the world of Wurm. The deed is not a "university", but rather a collection of services that are helpful to new players. Deed is under development, new features will be added here when the owner has time to build them.

The deed is located a bit South of Sloping Sands (the starting point), on the southwest side of the hill with the Kingdom of Lindarian deed. If you head directly south from Sloping Sands, turn right (West) after you see the guard tower. If you walk past the market, follow the wide highway to a well named Troll Yellow Water, and follow the road south.

The deed currently has:

• Mine: iron vein and forge. Use them to make yourself a small anvil and other tools and parts.
• Oven for cooking food.
• A templar for protection, plus a few tower guards nearby.
• Clay just west of the deed, for making bowls and flasks
• Sloping Sands spawn point and market nearby

Deed allows you to :

• Pickup items. So you do not have to worry about dropping your stuff.
• Hunt and butcher. Lure mobs onto the deed and the templar will tank them for you. If the templar is busy or dead, type "help" in Local chat - a Tower_guard will attack your target.
• Forage and botanize, to get food and healing.
• Mine ore (but not rock)

Here are a few rules:

• Feel free to take materials, foods, and simple tools if there are left laying around.
  • Do NOT take the Large Anvil from the mine. It is heavy, it is low quality, and you can make one using just 10kg iron and a small anvil
• Keep area around the deed as it is:
  • Cut only Very Old and Overaged trees - they will give you more logs, and more skill. Try to replant trees if you know how.
  • Do not destroy grass through digging or dropping sand. If you want to practice digging, dig and drop dirt in a single spot.

And a few other ideas and suggestions:

• You can drop your tent outside of the deed & perimeter, both to securely store your belongings, and respawn.
• You can sell unwanted items to the deed token to make a bit of money. Common sells are corpses (after you remove the butchered items), since they are QL100, you get 11 iron.
• If you want to settle, there is empty land W, NW, E, and NE of the deed. If you take over the deed spot near clay, please leave some clay in public access.
• Bashing the spider lair will spawn a [[spider[[ somewhere in Local chat radius. You cannot kill it though, not without guards' help.
