Changes

Just as the historic Holmgard served as the waypoint gateway for Varengian Vikings travelling traveling east through Gardariki and to the riches of Miklagard, the Holmgard deed on [[Freedom006|Release ]] server aims to help new players learn to survive (and strive ) in the world of Wurm. The deed is not a school, but more of a playground with tools and resources available to all players to use and explore on their own. Deed is under development, new features will be added when the owner has time to build them.

The deed is located a bit South of Sloping Sands (the starting point), on the south southwest side of the hill with the ''Kingdom of Lindarian'' deed. If you head directly south from Sloping Sands, turn right (West) after you see the guard tower. If you walk past the market, follow the wide highway the to a well named ''Troll Yellow Water'', and follow the continue road south.

Deed allowsHere are a few '''rules''': - pickup* You '''can take''' materials, foods, and simple tools if there are left '''unattended'''. ** If there is somebody nearby, ask them before taking anything. Same for items left near tents. ** Do not leave your things unattended. Put them into your tent container if your inventory is getting too heavy.** If you are sharing an oven or forge with another player, [[rename]] your items.** Do NOT take the [[Large Anvil]] from the mine. It is heavy, it is low quality, and you can make one using just 10kg iron and a small anvil** Items around the Rurikheim house were likely misplaced by deed owner. Be nice and let them be. * Keep area around the deed as it is: ** Cut only [[Tree_Tile#Tree.2FBush_Ages|Very Old and Overaged '''trees''']] - hunting they will give you more logs, and butcheringmore skill.
