BXBX NOVEL 90 Chapter 90
"So, Ian. Have you seen any elves yet?" - Evan
"No Evan, I have not. Are you going to ask me that every time you have the chance?" - Ian
"OF COURSE!" - Evan
"Evan…SHUT UP! I have had enough of your elf fetish. JUST STOP!" - Sabrina
"Wow. Wow. Sabrina chillax hon. Why so serious?" - Evan
"ARGH, YOU MOTHER! You infuriate me!" - Sabrina
"Guys, stop it, please. We are here to discuss the main storyline and about the forum." - Ian
"Right. Sabrina, calm down, let us talk like civil humans." - Evan
"Evan. Get ready for the next time I see you." - Sabrina
"Let\'s talk about the forum first. Has everyone seen it?" - Ian
"Yep." - Evan, Sabrina

Bones, Lotus and Aqua Territories - Settlement_News_Agent
Hello everyone, my name is Settlement_News_Agent. You may recognise me from my other names, such as Cyber007_News_Agent or WEW_News_Agent or even FRXX_News_Agent. Today, I am here to share to the community about some of the findings I have come across in the new game Settlement, specifically about the "Territories" of the 3 major guilds.
From what I have found out, every continent in the world is separated in the game as well. For example, New Oceania as a continent is connected to a single continent in Settlement. This also applies to our ranking. The top 10 is New Oceania\'s top 10 and while there has been leaks of other continents top 10 we can only wait until an official release for the correct information.
Moving on, our continent is made up of 5 parts. 4 of these parts are ruled by a \'King\'. Players across the continent have already found out some basic knowledge about these \'Kings\' and at the same time using this information we can roughly map our continent. On a very basic scale, imagine the continent as North, East, South, West and Center. North is ruled by The Horde, East by Kronos, South by Reaper and West by Cordelia. Now I know some of you have guessed it, but Cordelia does sound like a female name, so technically it should be Queen but who knows, we cannot judge!
The Center is like a dead-man\'s land as all 4 \'King\'s venture into this area whether it is to potential steal resources from one another or to wage war we do not know. The information from the players that have spawn in this location usually consisted of them being attack not long after they established a base of some sort. While there have been reports of player interaction, it had typically ended up in some form of fighting.
Getting to the main point now of the territories of the major guilds. Judging by the players recruited by the different guilds, they have seemed to collected in their own respective sections of the map. Bones are mainly in the North, Lotus in the East and Aqua in the West. The South consists of smaller guilds that have not decided to join the major guilds and of course there are smaller guilds in each territory, I am just giving a very basic overview.
Now, what does this mean? With what information I could collect from players, it seems like the difficulty of each part of the map varies greatly.
Bones are currently in a state of complete chaos as the army of The Horde continues to engage in warfare, slowing the technological advancement as well as establishing villages or cities.
Lotus is currently in short supply of resources, as Kronos seems to be a greedy King. Collect everything of value in large quantities. His army of golems also provide little back to the players that do end up defeating it.
Aqua, however, seems to be having a great time. The land is full of rivers and lush forests and jungles, and it seems like Cordelia has not engaged in any warfare just yet. There hasn\'t been as much information on this part of the map since players are slowly traverse through the dense jungles.
Furthermore, the South is a place where death is imminent. The Reaper\'s army consist of the undead, which also spreads a poisonous environment in places it has been. The lack of fertile land has proven to be a great challenge for players in this area.
That is all the information I am going to share at this time. After more extensive work, I will return with another news update. Thank you.

"Settlement_News_Agent really out did himself. He plays every game and loves to be like a commentator of sorts." - Evan
"Plus, his information about the \'Kings\' is more or less accurate." - Sabrina
"From this are the both of you about to tell where bouts on the continent you guys are?" - Ian
"I\'m most likely in the West. The amount of huge trees and dense shrubbery I have to go through when I\'m exploring near my village is insane." - Evan
"I think I\'m in the East. There is very minimal resources here. However, there is a surprising amount of monsters and some look very different from others eve tough they are of the same species. Not sure why that is." - Sabrina
"Yea, and I told you about how I\'m in the Center." - Ian
"Have you met anything other than that dragon and ogre?" - Evan
"I had to fight the golems. Which means Kronos\'s army is also in the Center." - Ian
"Hmm. Oh, well, not much we can do about it yet. We are all still split and with no way to connect with each other. Sabrina, just stay safe and try not to engage with the Lotus guild, if possible just establish friendly terms. They won\'t invade you just because you are playing the game and they are the more friendly of the 3 guilds."
"Will do. I\'ve had interactions with other players, but I don\'t think they were part of the Lotus guild. Most likely Travellers, since they were wondering about just hunting monsters." - Sabrina.
"Okay, since that is settled, let\'s move onto the next topic, the main storyline. As you know, I was the one who interacted with the main storyline first by encountering the Blood Ogre and the dragon. Since then, I had an encounter with Kronos\'s golems and unfortunately a flying golem flew away after seeing my village. There has been no major attack since, only small skirmishes with lone golems. Not sure if this correlates to the main storyline" - Ian
"Going purely off the new interactions with the game since the patch, we can assume the main storyline is to do with the 4 "Kings". Most likely, we will be facing against them and potentially overthrowing them until it is players ruling over each section of the continent." - Evan
"The only problem with that scenario is the difficulty of the "Kings". Ian died to a golem and was only about to beat one after pouring in a lot of resources and losing some of his citizens." - Sabrina
"I think you are looking at this wrong, Sabrina. Ian was in a 1 vs 1 situation. This game consists of thousands of players, each with their own set of NPCs. Defeating the "Kings" will depend on the numbers as much as it will depend on an individual\'s strength. " - Evan
"I agree with Evan here. No matter what we do, we will not be able to defeat the top leaders of the "Kings" army. I saw it first hand with the Blood Ogre. It completely destroyed everything, just imagine what it would be like in a real battlefield. This game is trying to create alliance and go to war, whether it is against other players or against the monsters in the game" - Ian
"Then isn\'t it a big disadvantage to solo players and small guilds?" - Sabrina
"Of course it is but isn\'t that every other game as well. The major guilds will always be at the top, fighting each other for no.1 but solo players have their own method of playing and so do small guilds. Don\'t you remember debauchery tea party? A small guild consisting of only elite players. This game has a lot of freedom for us to do what we want. Plus, everyone starts the same starting point." - Evan
"So, how are we going to deal with the main storyline?" - Ian
"Not much. I will try to find a path to reach the Center and then set up a way for us to trade. Maybe even move my NPCs closer, since it would be easier for us to help each other if we are closer." - Evan
"Then I will do the same." - Sabrina
"Okay. I guess I will continue to discover more about it, whenever I have to fight a new enemy." - Ian
"YEAH GO IAN WOOOO! BTW, if you do see elves, say something, okay?" - Evan
"Shut UP Evan." - Sabrina
"HAHA, peace going to play some games." -Evan
"BYE!" - Sabrina
"Okay, talk to you guys later." - Ian
I turn off my phone and place it on the table. It has been 10 days since the battle with the golem. In the real world, I haven\'t changed that much. Casual meet-ups and talks with Evan and Sabrina, lots of work and exercising daily. I check the forum every so often just to see what the new topic is and sometimes there are some interesting posts.
A couple of them include the rankings of the other continents. Some familiar names that have dominated other games have appeared again in this game, but there are also a lot of new names. The major guilds have been pushing recruitment in the city as well as the forum, filling it with a lot of garbage posts.
At the same time, I have been researching more on different weapons, shields and armor that can be used in the Stone Age era since I am still having difficulty reaching the copper mine. However, that doesn\'t stop me from researching about the Bronze Age. The next step for HavenFall is to enter the Bronze Age and acquire stronger weapons in order to defeat stronger foes.
Time flies while I watch YouTube videos and read small articles about history, and eventually midnight comes.
Time to go back to HavenFall.
