The Uncharted Lands: The Game
The Uncharted Lands was a Woldian Campaign that ran from April 2008 to January 2010. It told the story of the establishment and loss of a mining colony at Bryn Baraz. In January 2010, the game merged with another Woldian game, Making of a Hero, to create a new game, Uncharted Heroes, which continued that story.
The Uncharted Lands: How It All Started
The following notice has been circulated to recruit adventurers for a new mission:
- Attention all Woldians of the age of consent. The Stonehelm Mining and Exploration Company of New Ellena seeks interested parties to join them in a new and exciting venture. The 'Company' has successfully petitioned for the rights to establish a new settlement in the uncharted lands for the purposes of mineral exploitation and commerce.
- Join us in establishing the new settlement of Bryn Baraz and in so doing; share in the fortunes of this once in a lifetime opportunity. Land, commercial enterprises, and opportunities for personal advancement are available. Minimum two-year commitment required! Lodgings provided!'
- All interested parties shall make their interests known at the kiosks located dockside on Fence Level on the third Friday of the month. Departure for the new settlement will take place no later than the last Friday of said month.
(A long list of required trades and professions follows the announcement. It includes everything from blacksmiths to farmers, to metallurgists, to weapon smiths. It also most notably includes a requirement for individuals with military training and skills to perform a variety of military and policing functions.)
