Finished since last meeting:
Wold - Luc
Casthenid - Yannig
Greyflood Forts 5 and 9 - creepy and Yannig
Entwade - Matt, Dark
Westemnet Homestead 7 - CroDave
Progress since last meeting:
Folde - Nameless
All the roads are now fixed, I have found a few spots for potential mills and one has been started.
After that it is work on the Snowbourne which has been started by whee but not finished.
Folde Iron mine - LmaoGetBodied
Started working on the interior of the tunnels and created the iron layers and expanded the block pallet. Anglo Saxon style for the mine. The surroundings will be done as well but we need to lay them out first.
Westemnet - Darkkiryll
The Entwade Ford, town and surrounding pastures have been finished. All Homesteads except homestead 8 have been claimed, as that homestead is a bog iron HS waiting for the bogs to be done. Homestead 7 is done and the rest have been making solid progress.
Camp Revamp - LucPoppel
Cleaned up all old eastemnet camps. Fixing the numbers for all tents and camp population atm and will have this done before the meeting.
All camps are now open to the public as individual tents people can build.
Shire Revamp - eaglz and kingorrik
Shire going well, md progressed very nicely, we are proud of everyone helping
MD will hopefully be finished in the next few weeks as we work on finishing touches, after that we’ll begin on tuckborough. Meanwhile bog has been working on finishing needlehole and nobottle, whilst reworking the GER with hearth
Completion date of the Shire has been pushed back to February/March 2021
Caras Galadhon - Neverlegendary & MrBanana
So since last meeting we’ve been able to open the trees of section4, which are being done pretty quickly. As always, many thanks to Marcel, Danoir and Marchuell for their incredible help. There’s no hurry to get them done and they can be completed at their own pace while we focus on ground stuff. Neverlegendary is back to work on the ditch and wall and he is in desperate need for help, so please send some. As for myself, I’ve been doing the roots of the trees in section3, which should be done pretty soon and the layering around them will be an open project to whoever is willing to do it. Detailing of the terrain of section3 and the gate area has also started, thanks to some external reinforcements. Getting the groundwork of section3 completed in a month should be a realistic objective
Glittering Caves - Decorated
Doesn’t look like Decorated will be working on these any further so they will go on hold for now. I’ve received a schematic with his latest work on them today, so I’ll take a look at that and try to port it on to the server.
Cardolan Forts and Ruins
Yannig and Ytsen have been planning Tharbad however there is still a lot of work to be done before it’s ready to be opened.
Moria Planning - Guan/Soap
Nothing to say on Moria - remains on hold
Dunland - Dak/Fruit
With the homesteads finally being completed Dunland’s gone into a private phase where we’ll work our way through the to-do list with a select few, we’re first gonna do the Lumber areas and forests, after which we’ll start doing other nature stuff with Darth, like bogs etc. From then on we’re also gonna have researching the Isengard Tribe as a side-focus. Meanwhile creepy is researching/planning out the North Tribe, I expect that he’ll be able to start building somewhere in the upcoming week. Plan is to plan out the Isengard Tribe in full before opening it, so that we don’t need project applications, this plan is subject to change when we actually reach it tho.
Darnok/ix are continuing work on Thror’s Hall in Exile - need advice on how to ruin it.
Even tho we’re doing private stuff rn, anyone can still feel free to ask us if they can help.
Eryn Vorn - Kemce
Progress is being made. The settlements are almost finished and then it is just nature work for me to do, like cliffs and caves.
Fangorn - Lind
There hasn’t been much progress in Fangorn since the last meeting, just a few Ent houses. I’ve mostly put the project on hold until we get some other things closed
Technical Updates:

- Positive news from Sponge devs which was announced today - usable vanilla Sponge builds for 1.15 by the end of this year, and updating Sponge from 1.15 to 1.16 will be considerably easier than the update to 1.15. Sponge Forge may take a little longer.
