in the past
[[Let's assume that everyone made it from the gate into the village. If for some reason you think your character would have put up a fight or not wanted to be given a place to stay, throw something up in the OOC comm. By this point, they're in a couple of buildings in the village, which is nothing compared to Jhelbor, but still manages to house over 100 people. The previous log is still open, but for those who don't want to do initial reacting, this is up for general exploring.]]
The forest is nothing like the forest of the future, In the full light of day this is even more obvious. The trees are lush and green, buzzing with the sound of wildlife. It's not deserted - far from it. Children play in the shade, climbing on the low branches. Men and women hunt and gather and spread clean, wet clothing out over the bushes to dry.
The village is small, and unorganized, having sprung up organically and then simply grown on all sides to accommodate the increase in population. Tall poles with brightly coloured banners hanging from themed banners hanging from them alert people to the location of metalworkers, cooks, Majiks, merchants, tailors, leatherworkers, and all manner of other tradesman.
The party is still going strong, food and drinks are plentiful, as is music and dancing, but underneath it all, there are those who are working to keep day to day life running smoothly.
