History
Before the time of abandonment of the large two-year-old settlement of Plattekloof, The Order of the Mare's Nest was already being planned. A settlement that consisted of enough land and resources to sustain it's proprietor with wealth and abundant creative freedoms. Time, silver and suitable land was difficult to procure, and phases of exploration and deed crawling had to happen. While Plattekloof is still in existence, albeit much smaller than it used to be, Marlon set out to find this land. A temporary midway deed was found north of Dragon Fang mountain, called Windthrow_Reserve. From here, Marlon had access to land in close vicinity, waiting for the right time and place. About 2 starfalls later, the veil was lifted, and The Order could proceed. A section of land, matching the ideal plan, became available, and Marlon leapt at the opportunity to survey and finally, plant a stake in it. The Order of the Mare's Nest came into existence.
The Name
While other settlements founded by Marlon and his conspirators were named after geological matches or places, or based on their purposes, Mare's Nest was named for what the plan had written for it, for so long. The order refers to the placement and arrangement of the land and it's resources, but more importantly the disposition of the people that will be a part of it's existence.
The Mare's Nest is a reference to the illusory and misleading start of the settlement. A Mare's Nest is sometimes used to label something that is a muddle, and that is exactly what the land is at the beginning of it's time. Overwhelming amounts of change is needed, and even when this has happened, the name will forever carry the initial spirit in which all of this came to be.

Funding
Mare's Nest land was purchased with the proceeds of disbanding Windthrow Reserve, and any remaining funds were sourced from the personal account of Marlon. Upkeep-funding will be a continuously evolving thought-process, but will also be funded by the proprietor until a suitable scheme is set in place. Recruitment of willing to assist members will be funded from the land itself, ie: not monetary but in natural resources (see below). Upkeep donations, or deals in return for resources (prepared or raw), are extremely welcome.

Recruitment
A section of the land is currently scattered with the decayed remains of fallen estate, fences and personal items are abundant. Plant and tree growth have taken over, and fair section of mine collapsed. Rock face areas are common on the upper-parts of the hill, and need to be cleared eventually. A lot of work is needed, wanted or imminent, but not necessarily the only way to become a recruit.
Members will be accepted with the rules set out below, in mind. A member will receive a fair part of land, with which he or she will be free to arrange and lay out as needed. This means utter freedom, in that section of land. Mare's Nest will gain structure and land-reform from this process, and the member will gain a place to call his own, a safe home eliminating the need to find a village to join or to expensively found their own deeds.
