Thread: 'Ottery Shards
Participants: Darius Baer and the crew of the Libertalia.
Brief description of thread: Following on from I Walk The Line, (posted earlier), Darius and the crew of the Libertalia pursue the Dread Otter. The battle is inconclusive, but it does serve to protect the fishing crews, and they force the pirates away from Hopetoun. As a result, the pirates know that they can expect a fight if they return.
Settlement Resources Used:

• None...?

Intended Changes:See this guide.

• The player completes an action that directly protects the settlers from harm. (Does not stack with the above action.) (+3% order.)

	Accepted. As a result of this, Hopetoun has gained the following: +3% Order (now 70%)

Thread: An-ot'er Dread Otter Thread and Ambush At Otter Cove.
Participants: Darius Baer, Lars, Kirt, and a handful of new followers.
Brief description of thread: Following on from 'Ottery Shards, (posted earlier), Darius gains a few new followers (renown reward) just as he hears that the Dread Otter is in the vicinity again. The group heads out and eventually puts an end to the pirates.
Settlement Resources Used:

• None...?

Intended Changes:See this guide.

• A new group of people are able and willing to join the settlement. (+5 population. No impact to order as per renown rules.)
• As these new followers are military, should this result in an order increase?
• The player completes an action that directly protects the settlers from harm. (Does not stack with the above action.) (+3% order.)
• Related to the consequence from Ambush At Otter Cove, Darius will be taking the two survivors to face a Scalvorian judge in a future thread. Depending on what the judge says, they may or may not join the settlement. If that happens, I'll post that thread in here.

Hi there! Could you pretty please transfer the Wandering NPC Isra Delaris - mentioned in this thread to the Hopetoun NPC list? Thanks!

!	Message from: Peg
	Done. Can I suggest that this thread should be included in this tracker as it might have an impact on Order and the inclusion of the Order of the Adunih is a good thing!

Thread: Face-Off
Participants: Darius Baer, Vega Creed, and Ari'sora (now Rei'sari).
Brief description of thread: Darius returns from the Forging to discover that Vega and a member of the Order of the Adunih have been treating Ari'sora, whose appearance has been changed. Concerned that the sight of a half-Sev'ryn, half-Avriel - who some believe may have been partly responsible for the eruption andBaron Smooglenuff's death - might cause panic in the settlement, Darius and Vega persuade Ari'sora to A) leave the settlement, and B) change her name so that she won't be so easily recognised.
Settlement Resources Used:

• None...? Although a Wandering NPC was used, who is now a Settlement NPC. (Isra.)

Intended Changes:See this guide.

• A new group of people are able and willing to join the settlement. (Isra. +1 population; -1% order.)
• The player completes an action that directly protects the settlers from harm. (Does not stack with the above action.) (+3% order.)
• A City NPC in the settlement assists the settlement leader in a way that would lead to them developing a skill they possess. (Isra. +XP to the City NPC, depending on the extent of their contribution.)

!	Message from: Peg
	Accepted. As a result of this, Hopetoun has gained the following: +1 population (now 75) +2 Order (+3 for the thread, -1 for the NPC) - order is now 75% Isra gains +5XP on Leadership. NPC updated.

Thread: I believe in miracles
Participants: Vega, NPCs
Brief description of thread: Following a consequence given in a previous thread, Vega is approached by Hopetoun folks wanting her to perform a miracle. Rather than start thumping, she helps them. But not in the way they want - she talks to them about how they help themselves.

Settlement Resources Used: None

Intended Changes:See this guide.

I'm not sure. Vega directly solves / helps with a number of problems the individuals are experiencing, so that would be +2 order. But also, she's just proving herself to be who she is - which is +1 Order.

!	Message from: Pig Boy
	Approved +2% to order! With Darius' post after this, it's now 79% order.

Thread: A Shellter Against Outrageous Fortune
Participants: Darius Baer and Kisaik Ciuruọrun sọ Kufuata Karo
Brief description of thread: Kisaik requests permission from Darius to establish a knight order. (Permission granted! ) Then, a whistle mishap leads to a drawer dragon going on the rampage, and Darius single-handedly defeats it.
Settlement Resources Used:

• None.

Intended Changes:See this guide.

• The player completes an action that directly protects the settlers from harm. (Does not stack with the above action.) (+3% order.)
• Also, the establishment of a knight order to protect Faldrass would have a positive impact here, but unsure what that should be.

!	Message from: Peg
	Accepted. As a result of this Hopetoun gains the following: +3% Order (now 77%) Special Effect: Knightly Order! The proximity of a group of Knights also adds to the sense of security and community in Hopetoun. In any season where these Knights are active and seen (aka: in at least one thread) Hopetoun gains a bonus +2% to Order, on top of whatever the thread earns.

!	Message from: Pig Boy
	Hopetoun's order is actually 79% at the time of this note posting, taken into account Vega's post above this one.
