 These are the projects Lawton has built and/or is maintaining.
+===== Events =====
+==== Vinterfairdya ====
+Hestia and I came up with a Christmas event that concerns two brother deities who are always bickering at each other.  My alter-go is the voice of reason while her alter-ego is the voice of chaos.  These brothers arrive every Christmas and make a scene in global chat, bickering at each other.
+The event centers around riddles for players to solve to find one or both of the brothers at various locations.  This continues for many days leading up to Christmas.  Christmas themed/colored/named items are handed out.  First find gets a better prize.
+This event coincides with decorations placed at the capital and the appearing of Santa (automatic) who gives out snow men to players.
+===== Settlements =====
+Lawton is the mayor of two capitals, as well as the projects listed below.
+* Moor's Rest on Prime
+* Northland Gates on Northlands.
+Hestia is the mayor of August Plains on Plains.
+===== Moor's Rest Trading Outpost =====
+On the west side of Moor's Rest is the Trading Outpost.  I maintain the merchants there.  The Trading Post provides a little income for various crafted items.
+===== The Shades =====
+I maintain the majority of the merchants found in The Shades.  The Shades sells items you can't craft or buy from other players.
+===== The Traveling Merchant =====
+I am currently maintaining the traveling merchant.  It sells high end items.
+===== Scarborough Fair =====
+The player merchant area was moved from what is now known as the Portal Park in Moor's Rest to Scarborough Fair.  Scarborough was a former player-built site that had sat abandoned for many years.  We wanted to preserve it as a landmark so we kept it in waiting for a future GM project.  Then the idea came to move the player merchant area to free up Moor's Rest space and reduce lag.  I am the mayor of Scarborough Fair.
 ===== New Player District =====
 Wurm Unlimited can be a daunting game to learn for a new player.  They're placed in a world with no real direction.  For many years Mythmoor players had to learn by hard knocks and rely on other players to fill in the gaps.
 I started taking in players (on my player character) to help them learn the game, and I did this for many years.  I couldn't recruit them all.  Some wanted to play on their own.  I saw a need for a facility that new players could go to and learn the game at their own pace.  New Player District was born.

-* A conspicuous large chest in the New Player District Welcome Center gives the player a hint to explore the mayor's house. Chests on the second floor of the mayor's house give out a butchering knife and a carving knife.
+* NPC's/chests around the facility give out small amounts of coin while teaching about the game.  These were put in place by Repairmanjack.  I fixed some mission issues and tweaked the amount given out.
-* Large chests in the fighting practice room of the New Player District Welcome Center give out a staff and an extra longsword equivalent to the starter longsword in case the player accidentally destroys theirs using the practice dummies.

 * A spool of yarn in the carpenter's forest sits in the tile that will spawn a wild cat for a potential pelt.
 * The wild cat spawner only triggers once for a player.  The wild cat spawner can be reset for the player if they go to the palace in Moor's Rest and talk to (examine) the game warden.
+* The library has a merchant that buys books that players have written.  The library is not only to house tutorials, but player made books.  (As of this writing no one has submitted a book.)
 The New Player District has been a huge success, helping countless players learn and gear up before setting out on their own.
