== History ==
''=== Ademar''===
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 a promotion to Elder, he remained in Ademar until 18 August 2007, when he elected to leave due to continuing inactivity among Ademar's citizens.
''=== Jewelspar''===
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. 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.
''=== Grimston''===
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. 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''===
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.
