The Venue: Seahaven Conference Centre, Butterfly Island, Lauchenoiria

The city of Seahaven is the only large settlement on Butterfly Island, the smallest of the inhabited island of Lauchenoiria. Butterfly Island was only settled permanently by humans in the 1920s, previously being used for grazing and seasonal fishing by the numerous nations which had claimed the territory over the centuries. From the 1920s, Seahaven and other permanent settlements were built on the island by the wealthy of the newly-unified Federation of Lauchenoiria. To this day, it remains one of the wealthiest cities of Lauchenoiria, and in fact Butterfly Island is known for being the province of wealth in the otherwise middle-income Lauchenoiria.

The island includes many vacation resorts, and is a popular destination for travellers both from Lauchenoiria and across the IDU. Attractions for the visitor to Butterfly Island include: wildlife sea trips, a large water park, woodland walks through the undeveloped part of the island, spa days and a thriving nightlife within the city. The city also contains many museums, large parks, theatres and a large 30-screen cinema. The city includes many hotels, ranging from budget getaways for those from the poorer districts of Lauchenoiria, to luxury all-inclusive resorts for the discerning traveller. There is something for everyone in the city of Seahaven.

Travel within the city of Seahaven is easy, with an easy-to-use well-connected public transport system. Regular buses run between various rural tourist attractions, and a train line carries out a circuit of the island. Ferries to the mainland leave every hour between 9am and 8pm in the summer, or 5pm in the winter with late-evening services available weather-permitting. The island also contains a small airport, with one commercial flight arriving from the mainland each day. The airport also caters to wealthy clients with private planes. Private boats are welcome also; and travel by boat is recommended by the Government of Lauchenoiria where possible.

On the outskirts of Seahaven, to the west, is the major factory for the Bees’ Cheese Produce Company, a major Lauchenoirian corporation that produces many different cheese related products, exporting them throughout the IDU. The Cheese Festival will take place within the Seahaven Conference Centre where all attendees will be given a complementary cheese gift-bag by Bees’ Cheese and other Lauchenoirian cheese companies. Guests with any special requirements are warmly invited to contact the Conference Centre in advance.]]> <![CDATA[Cheese Festival 2017]]> https://idugov.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=1728 Wed, 31 May 2017 07:34:05 -0500 Bears Armed]]> https://idugov.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=1728

SOUTHERN REDWOOD
This is a large territory, belonging (as its name clearly suggests) to the influential ?Clan Redwood?, whose northern edge is located a moderate distance south of Council Groves. It has been important economically and politically since quite early in the history of Bears Armed. The landscape basically slopes upwards from north-east to south-west, from the WideWindle?s valley to the SouthWall Mountains and the foothills of the High Ranges.
Tourists would reach this area by rail, from either Council Groves (around, or with a ferry trip across, the Long Lake) or the ?Northern Redwood? area, probably passing through the lands of ?Clan BerryGlades? (?the fruit-basket of BearHome??), or possibly by road from the ?Mid-Surra? valley which lies to its south (although that choice would probably be only as part of a tour that was lasting for longer than just two weeks).

Places to see in Southern Redwood

a/ he city of ?Urrath-am-Barrah?, which was the capital city both of ?Clan Redwood? and of ?Bears Armed? as a whole during the Monarchic Period: although it has now been superseded in its political roles it remains very important as a cultural and commercial centre. Particularly worth seeing are its medieval & later defences, including a large castle that?s called ?The Tower of Urrath? (and that still houses both the Crown Jewels and the Royal Armoury, which are open to the public?), three separate Palaces that are now primarily museums (although the descendants of the last Kings have retained a hereditary right to live in the East Wing of the largest of these, which is known simply as?BearKing?s-Home??), the grounds of those establishments (with the one at BearKing?s-Home including both the ?Royal Botanial Gardens? and the ?Royal Menagerie?), ?WhiteHill? which is where the ?Great Council? ? the forebears of today?s ?High Council of Clans? ? commonly met during Monarchic times, the Ursion Church?s cathedral of St Grregh-the-DragonSlayer, some showrooms of the Smith-Folk (The 'SmithFolk' are a non-Ursine people, whom some of you might think should be called 'Dwarves'... but they themselves object MOST STRONGLY to that name, saying that Humans apply it to things that are smaller than they should be whereas they themselves are just the right size and it's other people who are too tall: If you absolutely must call them anything except 'SmithFolk' then it's "Nibbelungher?, thank you very much. In their showrooms you can purchase jewels, fine blades, mechanical toys, clocks and watches, scientific instruments, and other works of craftsmanship...) , the Royal Opera house, the Alberre Hall (which is the site of many great concerts), various other concert halls, and museums, theatres, casinos, and restaurants.

b/The ?Free City of Barra-Barra? is situated just across the Evening River from Urrath-am-Barrah, to which it is linked by three splendid bridges. It was established as an enclave where the leaderships of the Clans could maintain residences and missions, close to the Royal Court but with special immunity from Clan Redwood?s laws. This is worth visiting for its fine old buildings, which are in a wide variety of styles, and its restaurants that feature every cuisine from Bears Armed and some from further afield too?

c/The valley of the Evening River also contains a scenic lake that is called ?Lake Peaceful, situated at its junction with WideWindle, and ? upstream from Urrath ? ?Long Island? (which is mostly a Clannal park, preserved for its natural beauty, but was formerly a Royal hunting-ground) and its neighbour ?Short Island?, a lake called ?the Pool of Berroam? (located a few leagues away from the actual river) which has historical and religious significance to the Ursines, and the town of ?Imborrah? which is the administrative centre for this territory nowadays.

d/ One of the best-known of the natural wonders that can be seen in this territory is a large wood that is composed mainly of Redwood trees. This has special significance to Clan Redwood, and visiting outsiders are advised to be respectful of that fact.

e/ The industries of Bears Armed include a prosperous Treacle-mining & refining sector, and one of the country?s main treacle-fields partially underlies this territory. Tourists are invited to visit the works at ?Kam-Barrwich?, see the industry in action, and sample its products (which include a form of Rum?).

f/ While you are at that treaclefield, why not also visit the Museum of Palaeontology at Rah Berrar whose displays include many of the fossils and sub-fossils that have been extracted from the local treacle-pits through the years?

g/The hills to the south of Urrath-am-Barrah contain several large systems of caves, including the one where a near-legendary hero named ?Urthrro ?Vurra?? was born and where he subsequently sheltered for a while during the war to overthrow the tyrannical wizards who ruled the ?Purple Empire?; nearby, at the town of ?Barrwoo?, a set of well-painted murals tell his life-story in pictures.

h/ At the southern edge of this territory, the route to the Mid-Surra valley runs through a gap in the mountains that is called ?Ba?h Khaia? (i.e. ?Bloody Pass?). The district around it contains numerous old fortifications and historic battlefields, several sites where works of the region?s pre-Ursine civilisation remain visible, and even a few unique species of plants and animals.
