The village motto "Acta Non Verba" means Action Not Words. Aureate was the developer Early days of the Darkenstone Canal which was the first major canal project undertaken on Freedom and is the oldest still active deed on the serverin late 2009.
Originally formed by Gaffeek and Rogan on JK home server and then with the addition of Batolemaeus again on MR home server. They moved to Freedom with Aureate and Perse upon the server's opening day in 2009 becoming one of the first settlements established. In the following weeks the settlement Wynnger was founded to satisfy the need for more space, the canal was developed, and more sister deeds were created including the Gardens which grew into the current day Darkenstone Citadel. Aureate and Persephone continued live Canal in and care for the area. When the new deed system was implemented the Citadel was expanded to cover the entire hillside.Forumhttp://darkenstone.proboardsAug 2013.com/
