Title: Abandoned - Huts by the River - Story 26 NWS
Post by: Abandoned on March 31, 2026, 07:44:48 AM
Intro


  This is the 26th story in the New World Series.  Two eager explorers entered the magic portal in Woodland Glen of story 25; the same portal they arrived there by.  They had no idea where they would end up in the continued search for malfunctioning portals that the Elves at Rainbow Falls showed them in their crystal ball.  They certainly did not expect the welcome they received from the citizens of the Huts by the River.

Mod notes:
River's Huts for the North v.2 mod is one of two, the other one is for use with RKEC or CC mods; those 2 have different limits than the North.  This story is not using any of those 3 major mods.  I would have had River's Huts in the mod list as a major mod but it needed to be higher.  I placed it after a mod that has deco birch trees to use with the woodcutter and forester.
The huts were being made by @RedKetchup for the upcoming version of RKEC.  River requested the huts be made separate and suggested other pieces to add.  Necrolex suggested spear fishing, and I suggested the forester to make the mod a complete major mod.

The Magic Portal is separate from Kid Fairy Garden mod.  A separate single portal mod was released back in story 66 but this release has both colors of the portal as in the Fairy Garden mod. It can be used as a nomad generator or deco portal.

  Don't make any sudden moves, eager explorer, those spears look sharp.  What?  There's a fish on one of them?  Oh, I see it too. Look, here comes somebody without a spear.
