SOTA NewsCommunity Spotlight: Dragomir – Player Owned Town

[Jack T. Lamplighter 15]

This week’s community spotlight features the Player Owned Town, Dragomir! Each week we tour towns and talk with guilds and other groups, all of which are open to be spotlighted on coming tours brought to you by Berek, your community wood elf druid.

This spotlight tells a special tale, where CatherineRose, govenor of Dragomir, shares her story about the town from the beginning. Have a read:

The funeral marched on toward the evening setting sun as Spirit and I watched as my dear husband is carried across the sea.

The dream of a peaceful paradise named for thee, my husband Duke Gregorie Dragomir, seems to fade as the setting sun disappears into the sea and darkness overtakes the land.

Ye chose this land and this town to be the home of our dreams but a horrible fire dragon devastated all we created. In the final days of the battle to save Dragomir from the wrath of dragons, my precious husband and I were defending our town against the last dragon’s assault. The dragon with the advantage and my strength fading, my death loomed before me and I knew the end would soon be. With great courage and love pushing him, my precious Gregorie lunged between me and the dragon and dealt the final victorious blow. I watched with terrified eyes as the dragon and my husband plunged into the great abyss to their death below the cliffs of Dragomir.

Alone, I survived.

My heart aches from the loneliness and the absence of you taken from me during the final battle with the dragon. My dearest husband how will I go on and how will I live in this land, this brand new world without thee, my most beloved friend?

I must sing my song, my song of your gift of your love for me.
I must sing my song, my song of your treasure from you to me.
This song in my heart which holds your love within my soul
I must sing.
Because you brought this gift to me I will share with all who come into our town.
I must sing this song of love.
I must share.
We will share.
We will sing and share this song of love
We will sing of Our Beloved Town of Peace.
Our song of love… our
Dragomir

The dragon bones are all that remain of the battle in the devastation of our town. Our hopes were gone and yet our beloved town has been rebuilt into this metropolis of Precious Peace, our Dragomir!

As Dragomir is being repopulated I will carry our hopes and dreams into the future.

A monument of the dragon slain stands in the town square. It is a memorial of the sacrifice you made for me and all who make their home in Dragomir. Your spirit is felt and seen in every aspect of the town and grows as your spirit will continue to grow within me.

The present has awakened with freshness like the land after a rain.

Dragomir is located in the Longfall Region north east of Aerie. Traveling the road north from Aerie, Dragomir is the first town in the rolling meadow on the left. It is located conveniently near Aerie which provides additional shopping as well as training for skill advancement.

Dragomir welcomes everyone to live, play and find peace and joy in our town.

Many different locations for building a home make this town ideal. Dragomir has available property by the sea, lots near each of the town shopping and crafting areas, water front lots and lots high on cliffs overlooking the central part of the town. Every type of property is available here.

This beautiful ship is called home by one of the residents.

This beautiful home is near the cliff crafting area. It can be viewed directly as you enter the town.

There many sizes and types of homes all of which will be great in which to raise a family.

A fire burned this house, but it still is called home. Other homes can be seen on a nearby island.

One of the houses along the town square avenue faces the central docks.

Dragomir even has outhouses near the recreation areas, so you may stay and play longer.

This lovely property has scenic view of the waterfall, lake and island residences.

Dragomir is a great for this ranch, is a horse friendly area, and all-around perfect for the horse and animal lover. Feel free to stable your horse anywhere on your property.

The morning beckons the Oracle to begin watch over the town. There is no need to leave town to conduct your daily business or to speak with the Oracle.

Welcome to the Central Town Square!

Breathtaking views can be yours if you choose this property with a view of island homes from a cliff overlooking the lush forest and Lake Dragomir.

The owner of this home enjoys growing plants while relaxing in the hot tub on the top floor of this greenhouse home.

There are three different shopping areas. One near the waterfall, one near the cliff as you enter Dragomir, and the largest one near the central docks. Each of these areas has Public Craft Pavilions to repair equipment or to create your favorite crafts. These areas are open to visitors and residents to use these crafting tables as well as sell or buy goods from vendors.

Crafting and shopping near the waterfall.

Largest of the crafting Pavilions is located near the town square as you are nearing the central docks.

This crafting and shopping area is close to the first cliff which you will see if you travel straight upon entering the town.

Dragomir has several recreation areas for family and friends to gather, picnic and play. One of these areas is on an island with places to sit and relax or sleep in tents beneath the new world’s skies. There are pets on the island that will keep you smiling and give you comfort. Two other areas for entertainment are near the central docks. Avatars can enjoy concerts or dinner by the sea and play games with friends.

A public area is available for games and music for family gatherings or for just ringing the bells in the Bell Tower.

Imagine attending a concert or a dinner by the sea or sleeping under the stars or relaxing in the hot tubs within these stone columns.

Sleep, rest, and play with pets on this island recreation area.

This is the entrance into the island public recreation area for family and pets.

Skeletons remained after Halloween in hopes of getting to join the Thanksgiving feast.

Memento Mori Guild has a chapter house in Dragomir near the main bridge near the central docks. Dragomir is the perfect, safe and peaceful place to host other guild houses. Dragomir is committed to never allowing sieges within her walls. Dragomir is a sanctuary for all who work or play or live here.

For anyone’s pleasure Dragomir has several public chests placed around the town. As you run from location to location you will notice these public chests. These are for you to open and take something that may be of interest to you. You can put something in the chest for someone else to take. “Give something back, take what you want.”

Each month beginning in January (earth time), we will host a game or quest with fun prizes.

I invite you to join in the vision of these hopes and dreams for our town. There is much in the future of Dragomir, only limited by your imagination. Come and dream big! Help us as this new world goes forward into becoming the greatest world known to all Avatars.

I will view the sunset often and reflect upon all that has past, but I am looking forward to the bright future for all who choose to live in Dragomir.

If interested in becoming part of our community, message me, CatherineRose, in the forums or in-game. I will be very glad to meet you at the entrance and go with you, show you around and answer any questions you may have.

See you soon!
