The new settlement by the river is now firmly established, with the Ministry of Construction on course to complete the initially planned buildings within the next few months. Those with suggestions as to the direction the settlement should take should talk to Finley Price. In the meantime, we also need to find a name for this new settlement too.

During the construction of this settlement, it was noted that the Sons, Daughters, and Children were also building a settlement of their own, just across the river from ours. We're working on the assumption that the river provides a natural boundary to mark our respective land claims, but it may be worth establishing expectations with our new neighbors. I know we've had some tensions with them in the past, and hopefully this won't worsen them.
