}}

== Description ==
A '''shop sign''' is a nice addition to your area / building etc.

When you first create one, you will have an 'unfinished <wood type> shop sign' in your inventory. The full name will vary depending on the <wood type> you use. The [[plank]]s and [[shaft]]s can be added in any order. You will damage any of the materials you are trying to add if you fail to continue building.

Naming the sign uses the rules for a [[small sign]] ie 1 letter per ql.

== Skill Required ==
It looks like starting to create one and continuing to build one requires [[fine carpentry]].

You can only place one shop sign per Wurm week (roughly 21 real-timehours).

== Setting up the sign ==
Once created, right click the sign and choose '''Rename'''.

You will be presented with a drop-down box where you can choose your sign, and you can enter your text to give your sign a name that will show up on mouse-over.

Current choices for the sign are :
*bowl
*beer
*beer and bear
*crops
*construction
*sleep
*wine
*coins
*horse
*hunt
*sword and bowl
*lumber

Hello,

Im Rylee and i come from the Netherlands.
I started playing in 2008 and joined Small Bears on JKH, after staying there for a while i followed a few players to a new village called Wotu. To get better ores we moved to the west coast to be closer to Wild, Wotu2 was born. After a period PvP was introduced to JKH and most villagers stopped playing.

After a few months Freedom was opend and some players came back, Most of the old Wotu villagers came togheter and the village New Pinevale was a fact. Due of some problems most villagers stopped again and Vandle and me started Bay View.

'''The Village of Small Bears''' is a size 10 [[Jenn-Kellon]] [[Settlement|village]] Village with pretensions to grandeur. It is to be found on the [[Server Types#Home server details|Home Server]] due east of [[Newtown]], over the hill and down to the lake. It is part of a larger community of Villages, Homesteads, and non-deeded farms and cottages gathered round the western end of the lake, that are loosely referred to as The Bears of Wurm.

Of note are the two grand Colossi, The Small Bear and The Old Bear, that hold vigil over the Bay of Bears from their small islands just in front of Le Grande Promenade D'Ours.

'''Note:''' We are currently looking for people interested in becoming Citizens. We are looking for Premium players who want to have a more relaxed experience - possibly older, couples, families even. See the recruitment section further down the page.

== About the village ==

The village sits on the shore of a beautiful bay, The Bay of Bears, and is bordered to its west by woodland, to its east and north by the bay, and to the south by the main highway to [[Newtown]]. Three sides of the village, western, southern and eastern, are protected by [[Tall_stone_wall|tall stone walls]]; the Northern side of the village is open to the bay.

The village has been built on the faint remnants of previous occupation, but to accommodate the new larger settlement land has been reclaimed from the lake and a small hillock has been brought down to lake level with one tier. This reclamation has included the construction of a small harbour and a fishing pier that reaches out beyond the village boundary into deeper water.

=== Buildings ===

The village it self is only half constructed. Two residences have been completed in the south-western corner of the village and are home to the Mayor and [[Player:Becky|Becky]]. In addition, there is a village store, a workshop next to the forge, a small shed and Fore Paws Village Shop. This shop is located by the front gate and is home to a [[Trader|Public Trader]], though from time to time we restrict access. The shop is accessible to travellers and local residents without the need to enter the village front gate, though during transactions they are safe within the village boundary and are subject to the protection of the [[Spirit_guards|Spirit Guards]].

Around the harbour area there are now several stone houses and two wooden cottages, plus some storage.

=== Resources ===

The village has a large internal farm area growing [[Pumpkin|Pumpkins]], [[Potato|Potatos]], [[Oat|Cereals]], [[Corn]], [[Wemp]] and [[Cotton]] - all with good success. We also have 1 large farm area across the road from the Village on Pine Lake, and another a little further down which is a community project for the Bears of Wurm.

We have access to a large [[mine]] with 5 [[Iron_ore|iron veins]]. This mine has also broken through into older working which gave us some [[Cave_bug|cave bug]] issues - gallantly eradicated by Syrinx and Terasar.

Fishing is good and we have plentiful [[Cherry]], [[Lemon]] and [[Olive]] trees in the area. We are also cultivating oak in the nurseries and cedar and Birch.

=== Access ===

==== Front Gate ====

The front gate to the village is situated one third along the southern wall, on the main highway heading east. The gate is indented into the wall two tiles so that visitors have access to the Kingdom Trader, when open. There is no automatic entrance to the village through this gate as it is nominally for the use of Citizens only. Visitors are recommended to use the East harbour Gate or arrive at the harbour by water. The east gate is signposted farther along.

==== East Gate ====

The East Gate is situated in the eastern wall near the lake and is the main public access. Follow the main highway heading east along the wall and turn left towards the lake at the south-eastern corner. Follow the path down to the lake. Visitors are welcome to this gate which is kept unlocked at all times. Here one has access to the harbour and the good fishing available from the pier and the harbour wall. This also give access to the village token which is just by the village farm.

==== Forest Gate ====

The Forest or West Gate is located in the western wall at the extreme north-western corner. This gate gives access to the forest. This gate is for citizens only and is kept locked.

==== Harbour ====

Visitors are welcome to arrive at the village from the lake and land at the small harbour. Like the East Gate, this access is open at all times.

=== Safety Zone ===

We have built into our walls safety zones by indenting two of the gates, the Front Gate and the East Gate, by one tile. However, we have also added a more effective safety zone into the south western corner of our walls. This zone, also known as the killing zone, is not only overlooked by the Tower, but is also protected by the village Spirit Guards. As it is a corner, it is possible to run across the corner of our boundary and lure gullible crocodiles and spiders into the trap.

We will be adding a donation barrel for travellers who make use of our guards in this way. Please donate however much you like from the bounty gained from butchering the now dead beast. We think this is a fair trade for the traveller facilitating themselves of our overpaid guards.

Please bury any resulting corpses - especially your own!

== Fishing ==

The village boasts two prime fishing points, both accessible to the public as well as citizens.

The pier stretches out 4 tiles beyond the village boundary into relatively deep water. However, fishing from this point does not require very high skills. As it is beyond the village boundary, visitors can safely drop anything they wish without worries of not being able to pick them up again. However, we would ask that no structure is put up on the pier as this needs to be kept for all to use.

The main harbour wall, just by the east wall, is another prime location for fishing. Again, a small strip of tiles is outside the village boundary.

One note: the lake is home to several bears who like to quietly float up to our lake side border and amuse themselves by eating fishermen. Do keep an eye out for these cheerful creatures and avoid fishing in thick fog.

== Notes for Visitors ==

The Village of Small Bears is a very relaxed company of people, as is the community of which it is part,

However, we have a couple of guidelines for visitors and potential settlers alike:

* No Stealing
* Please take any rubbish with you
* No fighting
* Please be a little careful of some subject matters and language - we are a mixed community of young and old
* Come and say hello - don't just use the trader when it is obvious people are around and about and say nothing.
* If you have accidentally spawned in the middle of the village, refrain from attacking it just because you are too idiotic to realise that Wurm does not stand still and wait for you for months on end. Look surprised, be cheerful, and move on.
* Have fun. We are not some overwhelming organisation, nor are we tied in knots by long lists of crazy rules; the mayor is quite simply too old for all that. We always remember that this is just a game.

== Future Plans ==

Most villages on Wurm seem to be size 10, and the Village of Small Bears has no immediate ambitions to grow enormous. However, there is no shortage of ideas. There are two projects being considered at present:

'''Forestry'''

We are keen to promote the growth of wood useful to our needs, specifically Birch, Oak and Cedar. We already have an Oak Nursery and are planning development of the hillside to the west of Small Bears. This will be terraced and secured and be planted with Oak for boats, Birch for fuel and Cedar fro carpentry projects.

'''A Small Venice'''

The more adventurous plan is to extend the village itself further into the lake, creating a small [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venice Venice]] or [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annecy Annecy]] like village. This can be done without having to increase the size of the deed, but if successful, and if there are enough contributing citizens, then a deed extension should be considered. This plan would have particular relevance should we be able to take advantage of proper bridges and boats.

'''Boats'''

A future plan for Wurm is to allow the construction of [[Planned_features|boats]] to make use of the considerable water area. The manufacture of boats and training people in their use is seen as a possible source of revenue for the village as well as a lot of fun.

== How to find us ==

The village is only a few minutes away from [[Newtown]] and is simple to locate. Head east from [[Newtown]] over the half completed land bridge across the lake. Turn left on the eastern shore and follow the path up the side of the hill. Continue on the path over the hill and down the other side. At the junction, as the main highway turns left towards [[Serene Bear Landing]], continue straight on down the hill following the smaller path; the path widens again after a few hundred meters. The Village of Small Bears will come into your sight on the left hand side of the road behind the long tall stone walls.

== Recruiting Citizens ==

We are keen to encourage and help any and all players that want to settle down to this rather laid back and Zen type of existence round Bear Bay. There is plenty of land available to build on, or you may be interested in moving into one of the vacant properties in the village itself. If you wish to become a citizen, all we ask is that you are prepared to join in with the various projects and to help others both in and around the village. We are looking especially for players who are prepared to give a long term commitment to the village and the community around Bear Bay.

We are closely associated with Serene Bear Landing on the other side of the bay and are considering joint projects with their mayor, Sillyma.

If you are interested in applying for citizenship, please come and talk to Tealc, or PM him in game.
