Part three of three for Year 2.

2. Moving out of the safety of their forest, the Erde family decided to take a chance at
building a new life for their daughter Demeter in Maladoreias. King Vayne Solidore
was well known amongst the elven tribes; he is what they call a Light Elf. His magic is
what made his tribe stand out, they are able to use the power of the sun to form an
unbeatable sword of pure light. As a result of the Solidore tribe’s alignment they often
have golden hair and fair skin.

3. Vince: We are pleased to have your daughter Demeter enrolled at our
prestigious school.
Anteas: Thank you, I want only the best for my daughter.
Vince: Our school is indeed the best there is.

4. Anteas: Gaia, my love I do hope that this little one will be my heir. As a
Merchant in the Political arena, it is essential to have someone to carry on for
me.
Gaia: I am sure that this will be your heir, I have an innate sense about these
things.
Anteas: I know you do, it’s one of your many talents.

5. Anteas: I will work extra hard for you my heir.
Gaia: Don’t work yourself too hard my love.
Anteas: Of course not my dear. Just hard enough.
Gaia: I am glad.

6. Anteas: Perfect, this will help me open up my first business. I will call it Gaia’s
Green Earth after my beloved wife.

7. Gaia’s Green Earth is the fifth player-owned business in Maladoreias and it will help
out in the requirements to unlock the Business District that Darius Van Braun hopes
to have.

8. And it rose in ranks quickly and soon became one of the favoured stores of the king and
queen. Anteas made sure his employees knew that the king and queen were not to wait
too long for service, even if he had to step in and take care of the other customers so they
would not be forgotten.

9. King Vayne: Well done, this is perfect for the kingdom. We need a flower shop.
Anteas: Of course Your Highness, as an Earth elf we have a rapport with nature
that few can match. I expect the demand for flowers will grow as the kingdom’s
children begin to grow up. Surely they will need flowers for their weddings.
King Vayne: Ah, a forward thinker. I need more men like you in my kingdom.

10. Some flowers were more popular than others. Anteas was taking careful notes on what
sold fastest and what didn’t. He wanted to make sure his merchandise moved quickly
through the store so he could provide a better future for his daughter and unborn heir.

11. And soon Gaia’s Green Earth was ranked 10 thanks to this unfortunate looking
human giving the last needed star. It was time to head back home to await the birth of
his next child.

12. He made it back home just in time, his wife finally went into labour in the kitchen.
Anteas: Are you well my love?
Gaia: I will be!! ARGHH!!

13. Demeter: Oh mommy!! Are you alright?
Gaia: I am sweet flower; it’s almost over.

14. Gaia: You look just like your father my beautiful son…
Anteas: What shall we name him?
Gaia: Bramble; I like that name. Little Bramble, or Bram as he will probably
come to be known as. My son.

15. Demeter: He’s so little…
Gaia: So were you at one time. I hope I can count on you to help him learn and
grow.
Demeter: I will mommy! I’ll be the best teacher and big sister I can be.
Gaia: I’m glad to hear that sweet flower.

16. Gaia: I have not seen any elders around here…
Robin: We don’t live here, it’s a place called Townie Land. It’s far from this
place.
Gaia: I see, that is good to know there are other human settlements around.
Robin; Quite; this is a nice little town.

17. Anteas: An elder you say? Intriguing.
Gaia: Yes, she was a nice old woman.
Anteas: Hmm, perhaps these Townies would be willing to assist with child care?
Gaia: I am not sure, I don’t think we need a nanny, I am capable of taking care of the
children.

18. Bramble Erde
Gemini
2/7/10/3/7
He is the only heir so far for this Merchant class family, they may have more or maybe
not. All I needed was a boy and I got one on the first try.

19. Demeter: I promised mommy I’d help you learn and this rhyme was taught to
me by our grandmother who you never met. She was nice. Are you listening
Bram?
Bramble: *sucks fingers*

20. Anteas: I taught your sister to talk as well. It’s one of my favourite things to do.
I hope you carry on the tradition my son.
Bramble: Son!!
Anteas: Very good, your first word!

21. Starting with a child in CAS gives a huge advantage. Since the other households are
already two weeks in to their rotations, the Merchant classes would be behind so
because of that, Demeter will be the first teenager in Maladoreias and once the next
round starts everyone will be on the same level. Genius isn’t it? That’s why both
Merchant classes had kids out of CAS. And I had CAS points saved up anyway, not
sure of how many but it was enough to make six in CAS.

22. Anteas: Happy Birthday baby girl!!
Gaia: I’m so proud of you sweet flower!!
Demeter: I can’t wait to see what I want to do!

23. Demeter Erde FA/K
Leo
7/10/3/1/4
LTW: Be Captain Hero
(pray for some fires and robberies then or a genie lamp)

24. I added a garden since they had so much empty space on the other side of the lot, they
will probably also open a grocery store that will sell extra produce as well as the stuff
you can place from Buy mode. Next we see the other Merchant class family.

25. Like the Erde family, the Vesis also came to Maladoreias in search of a new life for their
son River. Aqua and his wife Miru were familiar with the tribe that the king belonged
to and had a kinship with them. The queen came from a branch of their Water elven
clans, ones that bore the deep blue of the oceans in their females’ hair. Aqua was one of
the queen’s clansmen. Miru came from an elven tribe that was more closely tied to the
snow and ice of the mountains, the silver hair is the symbol of her tribe. Miru’s tribe
were matrilineal so females were preferred over males because they had the stronger
magic.

26. They were an artistic family as well, and the money provided a decent nest egg for
Aqua to start his own businesses here in Maladoreias to help create the much desired
business district.

27. Aqua’s first business reached rank 10 quickly; Fountains of Fun provided the kingdom
with beautiful outdoor fountains and bars to decorate the vast, empty backyards of most
homes here. His second business, Seating Arrangements also reached rank 10 rather
quickly with some difficulties along the way due to many unhappy customers
complaining about the lack of qualified sales personnel. He got some good advice from
Anteas Erde about making a successful business that he took to heart.

28. It helped him when it came time to get River into the same private school as the Royal
and Noble children. River had made friends with many of them and he wanted to go to
school with his new friends. Aqua wanted his son to be happy so he did everything he
could to make that happen for him.

29. Lorraine: I’m glad you got in River, it wasn’t the same without you there.
River: Thanks Lorraine, I missed you guys too.
Lorraine: I heard you have a new baby sister. What’s she like?
River: She’s so cute.

30. River: Mommy wants to make her the heir, I don’t know what that means since daddy
said the same thing about me. She has my skin tone and mom’s hair, they called her
Lake.
Lorraine: I have two brothers and a sister, I can’t imagine only having one sister.
River: It’s okay, I like being the older brother.

31. And the next day River brings home one of Lorraine’s triplet brothers Marty. This kid
sure is popular with the Noble born kids. I like how he knows everyone in all five
houses now.

32. Miru and Aqua were still discussing who would be heir, on one hand River is nearly
old enough to begin learning the family businesses, on the other hand, Miru wants to
preserve her matrilineal heritage and make Lake the heir. Ultimately, both kids could
carry on if Lake’s husband would be willing to take her name instead of having her
take his. They had some time still to finalize their choice; the kids were still young.

33. Lake Vesi
Pisces
8/1/8/5/10
(ironic that she’s a Pisces like her brother, both are water signs)

34. River: Hey, you’re pretty good at this song.
Lake: Song!! Sing!!
River: Yay!! Let’s sing!!

35. River: Well, we were having fun…
Lake: Poopy!!
River: Mom!! Lake needs a diaper change!! Pyew!!

36. Another day of school, another Noble born child. Isaac Crane thinks the Vesis' fridge door
is a lot of fun to ride apparently. Which is odd since he has 0 Playful points… 0_0
Isaac: What? I’m not allowed to be out of character?
Shh, no talking to the narrator in this story…

37. Aqua: That’s my boy!!
Miru: Happy birthday baby!!
River: Hmm, what should I wish for?

38. River: New clothes would be nice. Or do I not get any because I said my wish
aloud?
River Vesi PO/K
Pisces
4/4/6/3/8
LTW: Be Mayor

39. And with this I end Year 2 of Maladoreias. A view of the kingdom from the king’s castle
up on the mountain, and a closer one of the Nobles and Merchants as well as their
businesses. Thanks to the Erde and Vesi families, Maladoreias now has five rank 10
