Community
With Horizons, you may purchase a plot of land upon which to build your dream homestead. Community is not just about your house; Horizons allows you to build machines, merchant shops, and furniture to decorate your homestead, and gives you landscaping abilities to add trees, shrubs and other plant life. Be warned, however; a community of houses and shops does not deter the Undead forces bent on taking back civilized lands. As a community, you can cooperate to build bridges to distant lands, walls and towers to defend your towns, and community structures where townsfolk will bring services such as training, information depots and more advanced trade organizations. Horizons is building your ideal community in cooperation with friends. It brings you closer to your friends and family across the world. It's creating a vision, your vision, that will stand the test of time.

Empire Structures A unique feature within the community building skills is the ability to build structures that benefit everyone. An example of such a structure is a bridge that is not within a community. Imagine a landmass off the coast of Istaria that has been cut-off from the Empire since the invasion of the Withered Aegis and only recently rediscovered. On that land would be treasures, adventures, and resources waiting to be experienced. To reach this land on foot a bridge would need to be constructed... |
