Chapter 3



  In early spring of year 3, Therford moved from the hostel to a small workplace cabin that was built by the forester's tower.  We had no worker to spare to become the forester.  We were very happy when 4 more families arrived from the north.  There were 4 couples with 3 adult children and 5 young ones.  They agreed to stay with us.  One couple moved into the workplace cottage that was built near Therford's; they became our 2 foresters and Therford went to work gathering oats, onions, mushrooms, and berries; a gatherer's hut was built next to his cottage.





  Our firewood supply was very low again.  Bertrude took over my job as tailor, and our son, Rooseveland, and I became woodcutters.  We could do nothing about our tool shortage; we had no iron, only iron ore.  A blacksmith was built next to the woodcutter and the smith began making usable iron from the ore.  Basic tools would be made at the anvil once there was iron to be had.

  One of the new couples brought some corn, potato, and cabbage seeds as well as a few chickens.  They built a wooden house at the far end of the sheep pasture and planted a small farmyard across from it.  The pasture was getting pretty full of sheep.



  Another wooden house was built by the other one just past the new blacksmith.  The last couple, with their 4-year-old twins, moved into the small workplace house that was built across from us by the new school that was built there.  They would take turns being the teacher.  So many children already missed starting school.

Chapter 2


  That 1st winter here was pretty cold; the thatch supply was running low; we had to go to the forest to collected firewood.  Our old clothes were pretty worn, and we did not have any warm coats.  We had some hides and wool and built a tailor workplace next to our house, but it was just too cold and windy to work outside.  I just had a baby girl.  That cold north wind kept the hostel pretty cold too, so the other families were looking forward to their own cozy wooden houses and warm hearths. 





  By early spring of year 2, one family moved into the house that was built by the pig pasture, they also had a newborn daughter. Another family moved into the house built by the fishing pier; they'd only been in the house a few weeks when their oldest child, a boy named Therford, became an adult and moved back into the hostel.  The 4th family moved into the house that was built north of the woodcutter; a forester's tower was planned for that area.  The couple had a daughter who was about to become an adult; we had no school.
 




  It was autumn before I began making warm coats; our supply of coats was very low by then, so was our supply of tools.  An anvil was set up there by my workplace across from the woodcutter.  We were left with only 1 laborer and 1 builder.

Chapter 1


  There were 16 of us who came down along the small stream from the northwest; there were 8 of us adults with 8 children and a cart of supplies.  The small settlement we came from struggled every time there were more mouths to feed.  The winters there seemed longer and colder; a group of us came south hoping it would be warmer and less of a struggle.  We were young and inexperienced; not skilled in anything but sheep herding.  We found several mountain sheep along the way here.  We saw some mountain goats and a wide river ahead of us so we went east around the big hill and found a clearing where we could settle. 





  We gathered building materials and built this hostel with room enough for all of us.  We began building a medium-size barn by the stockpile, and a fishing pier down by the riverbend.  There was a muddy low-lying area where a large group of wild hogs had taken up residence.   We built a pasture shed and fenced in the area to keep the hogs from roaming free.  There was an apple tree and mushrooms growing there in our new pig pasture and across from it was a hedgerow, bordering the trees, that had more mushrooms, wild oats, asparagus, hazelnuts, and branches to gather.   





  We built a house and another pasture shed so the sheep could graze in the clearing and on the hillside.  The goats we had seen were just on the other side of that hill.  My husband, Bertrude, and our son, and I moved into that house. My name is Karandee.  As the temperature dropped in autumn and the wild grasses began to die-off, those goats made it over the hill into our valley and our small farmyard next to the hostel.  We had transplanted 2 apple trees there where we planted some oats and carrots.  We weren't farmers; we didn't have many seeds, but we were glad to share our meager crops with the goats in exchange for some milk for the children.  We would see to it that the pigs, sheep, and goats had enough thatch to eat over the winter.  The woodcutter we built by the stockpile was already bundling some of the thatch to use as firewood.  Winter was fast approaching.

Intro




  This is the 3rd story in the New World Series.  The 2 houseboats carrying Jenser and Shie, and you, eager explorer, left the town of Rainbow Falls of story 2 and were hoping to find other towns and settlements on the way back to Newburg of story 1.   Their goal is to find more stops for a trade route in this part of the new world.  The river was slow; there had been little rain.  The river took them south, then wound its way to the west, the direction they wanted to go.  Autumn was rapidly changing to winter; the houseboats were not heated.  They knew they would not make it back to Newburg before winter set in.  They checked the crystal ball they were given in Rainbow Falls and saw all was well back home; Jenser and Shie's 2 girls appeared fine and a few more houses had been built.  When the eager explorers finally came across a small settlement, they asked if they could stay until spring.

Kid's Tiny mod has a food trader, so maybe that is the one River is using.
