It was fun to see everyone in Dragon's Hearth! It seems like everyone is doing fairly well at least!
Alchemieeees:
I am going to talk to my Papa about sending some alchemy recipes to Miss Avi. I'm sure that The King would authorize that, especially if she was going to teach more people in Dragon's Hearth about Alchemy in order to further The Kingdom, know what I mean? (You said you wanted physical acids and um...I can't read that drawing that I made in crayon in my book...what else?)
Vampure!
I'm glad we made the vampire go poof!! Mean vampire making me all muddy and ripping my pants. I'm glad my Sword: (ahem) "Mighty Smitey True Silver Vampire Slayer", was able to help!

The List!
So there were a lot of things that I was like, 'Oooh, we should do that. Let's put it on the list...' and people said it's already on the list or a work in progress. Could you tell me the list? I know that I don't live in Dragon's Hearth anymore, but you guys do and I would like to still come visit when I come to see my Mama and Papa in Dragon's Bane, so that's why I care and stuff.
Some of the things that I suggested were: lamp-posts/torches along the road between the Tavern and The Inn, bells and signal fires for the farmers, some roads, some workshops for the city folk that are moving out there and can't really farm but can do other stuff, some learnin' for the farmers that want to learn how to read and write and do other crafts when they get bored of or too old to farm, etc. Also--what if we had some kind of attraction that could get the nobles to come visit from Dragon's Bane? Like, if they want to get out of the city and rough it? I know a lot of the nobles in Dragon's Bane used to be adventurers, because that's how they got to be nobles--maybe they want to relive their glory days a bit? I know that Ash Grove in the Old World had a bunch of different attractions (we went there a few summers when I was little to stay in the summer house there) that got the nobles to come and visit. Maybe if more nobles came to visit, we would have better contacts and benefactors for the things that we want to do to help the people around Dragon's Hearth and to help more people come?
So anyways, can you tell me what all's on the list so I can stop suggesting things that you're already working on?
Also, I'm going to swing by Dragon's Bane on the way back to The Land--can you think of anything you want me to see if I can have sent down? Aside from the alchemy recipes for Miss Avi?
See you guys again soon!

Cassandra,
According to the list based on what I heard from the general musings of people from when Michael asked what we need.
A Potion Lab for the Spirit Guild (As potions have been rather invaluable to us)
There is some call for a Alchemy and Thaumagraphy lab but this call is minor compared to the desire for a Potion Lab.
We have a requirement to get an Elemental Circle up. Unfortunatly without some form of Extension Scroll this can not be done easily. Or without great waste of components. I had heard that we had at least a one year version of a Seal around but it was walked off with by a previous elementalist that no longer.
We need to put signal towers on the main roads between the manor depending on the visibility of the road will vary the distance of the towers. I would think signal towers may be more effective than alarm bells as the bells may be impared or mistaken easier where a signal tower has more potential to not have these issues. Though we would need greater supplies.
One thing we may need to think of is a possibility of an export item that we can be known for. Most of the more richer lands I know of had a commodity that was generally superior or had certain craftsman that new that commodity well. As it came to be known people would pay vast quantities to get these items from those lands. Which overall made that land well known and quite well off. Its just a thought for now.

Yeah! A commodity. It should have a catchy name, like Dragon's Hearth Hooch. So it has to be something that sounds good with "Dragon's Hearth" like, "Dragon's Hearth Hats" or "Dragon's Hearth Helmets"...
What, what's a commodity?

The name or even the type of product means little as long as it is a superior product it will have demand. Since we do not know what does or does not grow well here or even if the lands are the same from before we can not make an assumption on possible exports yet.
Personal Opinion

We have lots of Trees in and around Dragon's Hearth, Would Lumber be a good commodity? I don't exactly know a lot about harvesting Lumber but it's a thought

I am against destroying the trees.

Bryony,
Destroying the trees? No one proposed such a thing. Are you saying you are against using trees for any purpose at all? You realize by cutting down older trees it allows room for growth of the younger and prevents fires from destroying nearly as much, saving not only trees, but many other creatures.
