7K. A port city, with a small offshore lighthouse. There are small walls surrounding the place, with woods nearby. It has a fountain w/ statue in the center of the city, too. It is the safehaven for rangers, where they can come and not be ridiculed.

J7, if it isn't already taken. Wherever's fine if it is.

As for what it is: Stronghold of Swords. With animated suits of armour for guards, animated bows and full quivers for archers, steel gates for entrances, an arena, a gym, a training area, and anti-magic spells. The only magic allowed will be my guards and archers.

I'd like a small little house with a massive underground tunnel system.

Elaboration on underground lair: Kinda menzoberranzy. not that big, only like a square mile or two sized cavern, hell, I'd settle for a nice cozy Baerth sized compound with a good Battallion or two of Zaknafeins guarding my fortress. At minimum.

But what the hell, since nobody else seems to be going underground, I'll go for broke Lots of cool faerie fire/neon lighting. An underground lake I can relaxe on. Stocked with all sorts of neat fishies for me to catch.

It would also have an average-sized mining facility worked by kobolds, the kobolds being overseen by a few neighborhood friendly dueregar. The Kobolds would be housed in a series of smaller cave complexes on one side of the mines. I'd have a few farms run op top to feed myself, my staff/guards, and a percentage of the kobolds. I'd have a nice big harem filled with buxom ladies from barbs to wood elves (excluding snoota's, trolls, and ogres obviously) There would be several caverns used as Military Barracks/Training Grounds.

Underground passageways extending in all directions from my main compound would reach most of the cities people have described, allowing trade/other exchanges of goods, all guarded by black towers only visible at night, they would be equipped with about 15 of my zaknafeins, include housing for them, and be half bult underground.
Only one entrance on top which is guarded by a relatively small golem, with a spiffy magic bow that creates its own ammo, instructed to shoot anything that is comes within x range of the tower until it is dead or gone. It can be commanded to stop, shoot a specific target, or drop the bow and start smashing things telepathicly by myself, or any of the 15 guards stationed at that particular tower.

One of the passageways would lead to an aircave under the water from which I would launch my luxury submarine. My helicopter would launch out of an old extinct volcano.
I'd also have a relatively small black tower, only visible at night, in the deepest, thickest forrest to serve as a base of operations for my network of spies. Pretty much the same as the towers near the cities but no entrance up top.

I would live in relative peace, relaxing on my underground lake or wandering the forests. Perhaps touring my mining facilities and doing a bit of smithing/crafting myself. I'd visit one of the other cities every so often. Probably in the interest of selling a specific item of exceptional workmanship crafted by myself or one of the smiths.

Oh, and an Elder Black Wyrm in my cavern!!! to make scooby snacks out of anyone who tries to bother me.

Wow, I wish I had noticed this thread earlier.

I'll take E-7. I'd like my house to be a normal wooden cottage with a standard thatched roof. No underground passages or soaring towers for me.

I'd also like a small herd of sheep, since I've got some free pasture and time to play with, and some farmland if possible. That's it.

And is it possible to have man slaves included with that?

Waiztarroz (?)

For a quick note, if my math is on and Fennar doesn't decide to refuse any one, that leaves 13 floaters (those without a specifically claimed land, but who want one) and 19 open slots. That should mean 6 more people can fit, unless the person is willing to take Waiztarroz's gamble, and see if Fennar accepts the "8" row, meaning there are an additional 9 slots.

I repeat, I have no official affiliation with Fennar, I'm just trying to help those who are still trying to decide where to go. Also, this is all assuming Fennar works on a "First come, First serve" basis.

And to everyone who comes in too late for their own box, I'd be willing to share mine equally with anyone who asks (if Fennar approves my box choice, that is). I don't really need the farmland. Maybe we can set up a little evercrest village on the island, if there are enough extra people.

small Scottish type castle something like this

with walkways around it.
In the NorthEast corner with a sea wall on the North side and a harbor in the lower SouthEast corner that can be used by the closest squares also. In the rest of the area away from the beach wooded to rocky with large trees and wild flowers. Almost no shrubs or bushes. A few small freshwater ponds,lakes,or streams as well.

getting back to you.

Wide open plains(upper right corner) bordering a forest(middle) that goes into a hilly area (middle and to the left)(the kind you find in the UK, hilly, green, and cloudy) and a desert area with canyons and cliffs (bottom left corner). Under the plains and desert I want 2 vast bunkers (with BIG hangers) about a 1/2 a mile underground with multiple exit/entry points and outposts within my square, along with an airfield within the plains and desert, and an army base in the plains, forest, hillside, and desert.

Notify me when construction is complete, as I will begin moving my forces in ASAP

That is all.

Slight problem:

If I put a house in every square, The island would become a city.

If I scaled the houses to there "real" size, you wouldent be able to see them.

As such, I have done two things: changed the scale on the island (drasticly)

and I have added four floating islands.

Dont worry, everyone will still get a house, but they might be in a "town"

One more thing, if you sent me your house as a 3d file (any common type) I will put it in.
