A Ayleid Guide To The Wilderness
Minnan1
My name is Aedan, I'm The Last Ayleid, and I shall guide you through how I managed to survive in the wilderness many times. :: :: I wish another Ayleid could read this book for I have many to share with them, but it seems I'm alone in this world so I'll focus it to share from my kind to all of you.... :: :: :: Chapter I : Getting over our emotions :: :: :: We Ayleids were the first race to roam this lands, for some reason, we are the longest living of all. While 10 human years equal 1 elven, 10 Elven equal 1 Ayleid and so on. I happen to be the last one, Born in the Ages before Recorded History 2700 years ago. Being the last one, and living longer than others has always been a problem to me, for I cannot have a family withouth living the pain of watching them die one by one. This idea always crosses my mind, although I've met a Wood Elf named Maiavel, a Fine and Interesting elf, I've been able to keep them off for a while. If you sometime feel overwhelmed by this emotions, seek help from a Druid or someone wise and try to find something that generates the opposing emotion to it or them.... :: :: Getting over emotions will be the first step to survive, for we tend to feel lonely after a while. :: :: Chapter II: Getting Supplies, What kind of stuff should I have? :: :: To survive we all know we MUST have food, although after a while this might run out and we will find ourselves in a terrible situation. This is why I recommend having Bread, Elven made if possible, for this fantastic bread will keep you out of starving for a while and you can then manage to find another source. I always keep a bucket of water with me and some seeds to be able to grow them into food. The bucket can also be helpful for when getting on fire by accident (hehehe) or might be used for many other things. :: The next step is getting tools that work, not too heave, not too weak. I recommend having a Iron Sword made my yourself for you will know how to use it and make it exactly for your qualities. Having a pickaxe is always important, try having a Iron one then make Stone pickaxes to keep a constant supply. Make shure to bring an Axe, Stone axe, and a Hoe, Iron hoe. Now we have some tools we can get to the miscelaneous stuff... :: ::Beds!... you can never have too much or none at all! This Supply will save your life in case of emergency, always bring one with you. Bring as much Wood, Stone and Wheat as you can, always pack books and bookshelves... don't forget at least a bunch of Coal, torches, sticks, armor, Chests and a Work Bench. :: :: :: Chapter III : Getting to the Wilderness.... :: ::We ayleids need of a nice place to stay always. Try to find a forest with a water source near your "house" and somewhere to get Minerals from. :: :: In case you find yourself in the middle of the night without anything to make your home... Dig a 3 block deep hole in the ground and seal the surface with dirt so no one gets in. This works to make a quick house or you can later turn it into an underground house. :: :: Chapter IV: Building a House... :: ::We Ayleids are smart to build complex structures, and feeling comfortable in them no matter how old, small or simple they are... Always have at least 1 Nature friend inside your house (aka a Plant) to keep yourself in home... :: :: DO NOT Make your house near a town or the road, Ransackers and Bandits will always go and steal your stuff... :: :: Make shure to have traps inside and outside your house but dont fall on them ( Believe me) And also have lotsa and lotsa new and interesting architecture options... :: :: Our ancestors, the first Ayleids built amazing structures with Complex tunnel systems in case of emergency and elavorated traps that still kill Ransackers even today in the Ruins.... :: :: Chapter V: Getting Friends and stablishing a town :: :: Always make shure to get friends that live around your House in order to have someone to help you... Always, ALWAYS help them and keep them alive for there is no better thing in this world that your friends.... :: ::If you plan on building a town... Get as many materials ( I preffer Stone)) To make your Walls around the buildings You can never have too much defenses against the Undead... :: ::Try using Sticky Pistons and Fire arrow cannons to keep enemys away from your walls and your buildings... :: :: Using the Pistons between 2 walls separated by 3 blocks of redstone circuits will work to make a Staircase only controlable by you and so you will have no need of gates . :: :: Make shure to do anything in order to keep yourself and your friends safe.... :: :: :: If there's something we Ayleids are good at... is Building and Surviving.... :: :: I'm the living proof of that.... : :: :: - Aedan, The Last Ayleid.... :: :: For my dear Wood Elf: Maiavel... For I have hope of someday know you more... :: In the midst of attempt to prottect my friends... :: I'm loosing them... pardon me...
