Red Tree Valley

Introduction
Red Tree Valley is a town in the Imperial Archonate of Viodoxa. Formaly founded in the then still independent Duchy of The Isren Draca by it's Minister for Construction ericthener, by whom it's cobblestone-clay-brick style of architecture was designed. This trend would become the driving building style in this growing mining town.

The towns motto is "Let the wine and gold flow"

Economy
The economy of the red tree valley is itself not very big, account to its still small population. Its status as a mining town nonetheless means that its potential is fairly high. Its also holds the "South Cymru Bureao of Cartography" a club of hobby cartographs whos main project is to map out a comprehensible map of the whole of Cymru. The map shop just under to this bureao is constructed, just yet to be stocked.

Pits
A "Pit" is a stair like hole, dug deep into the world until a good depth for all important minerals is reached. The step like structure makes it possible to effectively mine on multiple heights, making it more cost efficient and long lived. In a Pit, its common to have mine shafts that extent for thousands of blocks in all direction, with multiple on every level and on every side, to further increase the cost efficienty.

The Cymru Mining Bond
For the usage and the further construction of the Pit's was a specific branch of the local and regional ministery of construction needed, for which the C.M.B. was designated. It generally holds the responsibility for a smooth running mining economy in the Red Tree Valley.

Politics
The flag and general symbol of the town are its red berries and esspecially The Red Tree, so those symbols, and the bioms general colours had their influence on the flag design. Current mayor of the town is ericthener.

History of the Valley
The Red Tree Valley, named after the corrupted pine tree growing in it, was first populated by villagers migrating into cymru. They build crude cobblestone houses with pine logs as their roofs and did not even pave their roads. For a long period of time did the valley not change, being lead by a cult of villagers praying to the Red Tree. This changed when the first players arrived who plundered the town, the inept villagers not able to do much against it. This was for a long time the rule in the valley. Rundown ruins and no soul in sight. By the time that ericthener came across the valley, it was desserted beyond any measure. It being fairly even and being not far away from the Castle of The Isren Draca made it an ideal place to start a much needed source of stone and other material needed by the then young duchy. The first Pit's quick construction is a testiment to that. Multiple projects in mind, the town's future doesnt seem worrysome.

The Red Tree
The Red Tree is the most striking feature of the town itself. A tall grown pine, with red leaves and big, orange glowing berries growing on it. The ground around it was turned into netherrack over time and even the tree itself is not only growing leaves as if it came from the nether, but the original wood has also grown grotesque and warped. It mostly resembles a thicker crimson stem by now.

One old commandment of the trees old cult reads translated as follows:


 * 1) As bloody as the tree shines ours blood,
 * 2) As red as the tree is the sun rise and dawn,
 * 3) As orange as the trees fruit are our clothes,
 * 4) As veiny as the trees bark is our pork,
 * 5) As thirsty as his throat is "the rock" (in reference to an old sacrificial table made out of stone)
