To keep in touch and help you guys see our progress and goals, we will continue to do these announcements each and every week. We will post these announcements a few hours before the weekend event (Saturday 7PM BST.) We are also open to feedback & suggestions relative to the updates we announce.

Implemented
Second Official Noble House
Tale of Banners welcomes its first noble house post-release! The Oserian House of Dregaria marks the beginning of the ‘Nations System’ and the rise of noble families on the server.
Tale of Banners welcomes its second noble house post-release! The Northern House of Finton has been created and has become part of the servers canon lore.
We are reducing the amount of players in a single noble house to three per a house for the time being to maintain a high commoner to noble ratio. This limit may expand in the future as population increases.
If you would like to join this house you can information on it here:

Settlements - Windmere!
We have a new settlement! Windermere has been founded in the Thanedom of the Shattered Coast! You can use its cart in Valdarr to travel to the location quickly and be a part of Tale of Banners history. Over the last few days, its founders have been slowly building and changing the landscape’s form to meld it intricately into the server’s signature style.
See more info about the settlement here:

The Traveling Merchant
We have added a new merchant to the square of Valdarr that you can trade and interact with. He sells some hard to acquire items such as iron and fine korisan paper. He also sells animals too, so if you are in need of livestock seek him out. He is known to be a very frugal man however.
Mining
We have fixed the Valdarr quarry to have iron in extremely sparse quantities. Do not be surprised if you have to look for a long time to find any iron at all. You will still have to create charcoal or find norvaskr coal in the wilderness to fuel the fire of your furnaces. To work iron, we would recommend an RP blacksmith be someone you go to for your iron goods.
Fishing
We have introduced a new fishing plugin that does away with enchanted items in its drop rate and allows us to customize percentages of fishing drops to better suit the local ecosystem. In general we are using this to make a more hardcore realistic fishing experience.
Construction in Valdarr
The Great Hall in Valdarr is currently being reconstructed. With new nobility and new wealth flowing into the town from outside sources, effort has been put in to restore some of the history of this place. Workers have built scaffolding and will eventually complete this ancient hall, but it will take much time.
To see more information on this see this post by Valdarrs own Asfrid Arnvidottir (FizzyDrinks) who wishes to become Valdarrs new mayor:

Forum Organization
We have been working on our forums and have introduced many new areas which players can now interact with.
If you wish to have any lore you write accepted into the Tale of Banners official canon please post it here for review:
https://taleofbanners.com/forum/forums/lore.71/
We have also established an area on the forums for character bloodlines to represent themselves. You can design your own page for your family and post it here:
https://taleofbanners.com/forum/forums/character-bloodlines.140/
If your family is noble there is also a separate section above specifically for noble families.
Just around the corner!

Quests
We have already begun adding many more custom NPC’s to the melting lands, hostile and friendly. Over the coming weeks we will introduce new bandit types, new dangerous creatures and new characters and locations! All which will have their own quests in the world!
Continue to check Windspeak Abbey and the Luneholm Meadery through the week as more quests are ready to be added!
Dungeons
The dungeon beneath the Great Hall of Valdarr will be expanded with new quests and items. We are also working on several new small dungeon locations as well to variate the scope of these constructions. These include small cave systems and ruins.
Plugins
We are searching for plugins for farming and mining activities. If you guys have any ideas, feel free to put them in #feedback chanel
We are also considering introducing MCMMO on the server, this is completely up to the players however! If players feel they would like to be limited by a professions plugin we could certainly look into this in more detail.
