## 🌍 The World
- 🗺️ **Trammel in the west, Felucca in the east** (turned half round to fit), one Better Continents world, **65 km across** 🌊
- 🏝️ You start on an **island in the middle**. Its moongate leads to Trammel's towns, and two dirt roads run out to two docks, both marked on your map ⚓
- ⛵ **Felucca lies 3 km of open sea away. Boat only.** Three kilometres is not far as crossings go, but it is far enough that you will have meant it
- 🏔️ **Real mountains** under **deep snow** from 200 to 300 m up: you wade in it, walking cuts a trench through it, and nothing gets built on it until a hoe has cleared it ❄️
- 🚫 **No Valheim portals.** The ways across Britannia are the moongates, the roads and the sea
## 🏘️ The Towns
- 🏰 **32 UO towns**, Trammel's and Felucca's: Britain, Trinsic, Moonglow, Yew, Minoc, Jhelom, Skara Brae, Magincia, Vesper, Nujel'm, Buccaneer's Den, Delucia and the rest, on their old plots and built from Valheim's own pieces
- 🧱 Baked into the world itself: **they can't be damaged or torn down.** Somebody will try it with a pickaxe on day one ⛏️
- 🔥 Torches and braziers burn for real, doors open for anyone and shut behind you, chairs can be sat on, and forges, ovens, spinning wheels, workbenches and cauldrons all work
- 🧑🌾 **Townsfolk work at their trades:** cooks wipe, carpenters saw, fishermen fish, farmers hoe. They walk set routes and stop when you come close
- 💂 **Two guards at every town gate** (Buccaneer's Den keeps none). Type `guards` in chat when something has followed you in
- 🛒 **Vendors** sell and buy only their own trade's goods. The farther from Britain, the deeper the stock, up to Delucia, which sells everything
- 🏦 **A bank:** every character has a box of 125 stacks, tied to your Steam account and backed up on the server
## ⚖️ The Old Laws
| | 🛡️ **Trammel** | 🗡️ **Felucca** |
|:--|:--|:--|
| 🏘️ **Towns** | Safe havens: no PvP, no monster spawns, no raids (*Buccaneer's Den excepted*) | PvP forced on; the guards still come for a grey who starts trouble |
| 🌲 **Outside the towns** | Valheim's own PvP switch | PvP forced on across the whole land |
| ⭐ **Fame and karma** | By UO's numbers | **+30 %** |
| ⛵ **Getting there** | The moongate from the start island | **Boat only** |
| 🌀 **Moongates** | List Trammel and the start island | List only Felucca; *a red's gates are Felucca's* |
- 🟡 Strike an innocent outside a town and you go **grey** for 2 minutes
- ⚰️ A player you kill may **report the murder.** Five long-term counts and you go **🟥 red**
- ☠️ A red comes back to life only at the **Shrine of Chaos**
- 🏷️ **UO skill titles** hang on your nameplate (*Master Blacksmith* and the like), with your **fame and karma** beside them: *The Glorious Lord*, or something you will like less
## 🗺️ Loot, Quests and Music
- 💎 **Treasure maps** drop from creatures, bosses a level higher: **seven levels**, from the *Plainly Drawn* map of the Meadows to the *Ancient* map of the Ashlands. **340 spots** across the two lands. Six blows of a pickaxe or hoe at the mark raise the chest, and its guardians with it. Only the digger can open it 💀
- 📜 **286 community quests** by Nomadicwar, with a journal on **L**
- 🐺 UO's spawn regions are on, with Valheim's creatures standing in. They keep out of the towns' havens
- 🎶 VALtima's own music for the menu and each of Trammel's biomes, openly licensed
- 🖼️ UO-style inventory, minimap and paperdoll panels in-game
## 🧪 Where It Stands
This is an **early alpha (0.0.18).** The stone is laid and the roofs are on, and the floors have opinions 🪲
- ✅ The world, the towns, the townsfolk, the laws, the loot: all standing today
- 🚧 **No dungeons yet.** Despise will be the first, later
- 🐞 It will break. We want to hear exactly how
