History

The Journey

Kallana Verde began as a group of characters gathered together in Aeldell on JKH by FullKontact.

Gathering just before the implementation of boats in the Wurm world, we all spent a vast amount of time grinding up our skills during several periods when extended sleep bonus was granted as the result of implementation glitches around that time.

Our focus at that time was on developing the skills that would be needed for ship building and, as a result, there are several skilled ship builders, rope makers and tailors amongst us.

With the release of boats, we spent another couple of weeks furiously building several small sailing boats and a cog and a corbita, which were built almost single handedly by FullKontact and Nadroj.

Just after we finished, the Mol-Rehan Home server was started and we sailed as a group for the Wild border line.

Unfortunately at this point, disaster struck and our friend and leader, FullKontact was called away from Wurm by real life issues. The leadership and the cash to found our new village was passed to Nadroj who has proved a capable mayor and is as well liked and admired as was FullKontact.

The journey by boat to our new home is unforgettable for those of us that were there.

With many mishaps, misadventures and excitements (reminiscent of a Columbus like journey) we finally reached our new home after 24 hours of real time sailing.

The feeling of piloting a Wurm boat continuously at 2kmh is indescribable and will be a memory that will live with me (Tritus) forever as vivid and imperishable as any real life one.

The site for our new home was found initially by Moss after his inadvertent death to a mountain lion at the foot of a lone oak tree. What an epic spot to choose to die at! *grin*.

As we travelled there by ship, we stopped off a day at the just founded village (Oreo) of our friends Tantrum and Drega.

The following day we arrived at the site where Kallana Verde is still in the process of being built and Nadroj placed the token on a perfect site.

The Name

We had some debate over the name, noone really coming up with a good one until Kallana Verde was chosen. Wikipedia Entry Though the name was actually picked from the series stargate, its polyglot translation means Green Counsel or Earth Counsel.

The Construction

After much discussion and debate on our forum, we came up with a village plan that is the product of all our minds and creativity.

Then followed some weeks of gruelling terraforming, slightly extended by making the mistake of pointing it the wrong way! *laugh*

The village is constructed on 3 tiers, each 45 higher than the next, with the mayor's built on a 15 raised platform on the uppermost tier.

Overall, the village is much like Macchu Pichu in its terraced nature.

The Projects

Canal

We are currently digging out a canal from the bay below us right up to the town. (never completed)

Docks

We plan to build a dock a bit better than our current, temporary dock area to provide safe harbourage for visitors and trade.

Completed by Mobius

Mining

We have a fairly large mine where we have already found copper, gold, iron and zinc.

A recently opened, separate mine has a silver vein.

Re/Forestation

We are in the process of both reforesting land as we go along and planting trees new to the area which was originally almost entirely pine forest.

Transport

It is our intention to build a road to Oreo (completed by Drega and Tantrum of Oreo) and the eastern coast and also to Alchemist Bay (never completed?) and the western coast.

We have also mined a 700 tile long tunnel through the mountain to the south of KV that will eventually provide both a water and land route all the way from Kallana Bay to the Inland Sea. (extended to reach KV Bay by Moss/Moggs)

Terraforming

An ongoing project to terraform the surrounding area to provide good views, farm land and forestation. (completed by all KV)

Zoo

We already have a large collection of animals and plan to build a feature park to allow visitors to the town to view them. (completed by Tritus)

The Move to Freedom

Nadroj intends to rebuild KV on the Freedom server when it opens.

A few of the previous villagers who currently seem likely to be involved are ...

• Gadget
• Mobius
• ShadeSlayer
• Tritus

Leaders

• Nadroj (founding and returned mayor)
• Caliphae
• FlyingMonkey (afk?)
• GoldFishMoo (ex-mayor, moved to Wild)
• Mobius
• Moss (afk)
• Tritus (ex-mayor)

Citizens

• Deeno
• ShadeSlayer

Credits

Though Nadroj is our mayor and placed the token, we credit FullKontact as Kallana Verde's founder and have planned a zoo in which a monument will be erected in memory of his help and support.
