The locals reside 4 separated areas; western, eastern, southern and northern regions. The fifth area is the central region where most of the community services are located. Their litle community has a bookstore, market, town square, Village Hall, Consignment store, bistro, hospital and House of Laws. They got Laws, and a council, as well as a local court system. Traditionally the western households were the wealthier, while the poor fisher families resides up north. Will this pattern change as families merge over the next generations?
The contact recently made with town of Galucca was very much needed, because the community was desperately running short of most resources. Up to now they lived primitive lives, benefiting from stuff they found along the shoreline. All of them were born here, so they hardly know about all the modern products they will now get access to...
Before getting started, below is the slightly edited "Outroductions" chapter from the SimBasic story. It might be good as a reference for later. Although this legacy will focus on the Greench Farm household, the other households will definitely show up occasionally.
NB: The links to settlers and maps will take you to the previous SimBasic blog.
Western region
This region is where Rita and Roger Redward originally settled. All 3 current households contain minimum one of their descendants. Find this region in the interactive map.
Yamir Redward is unmarried and lives alone with 2 horses at Redward Ranch. He is the son of Corinne and Randal Redward. He works at the Fort Base, and was forced by his Father to taking over the main property as the main heir. His life might be a little less predictable now that contact was made with the other world.
Yamir Redward (young adult):
Traits: Athletic, Insane, Coward, Star quality, Snob. Aspiration: Rich and famous.
Randal Redward, head of the Vllage Council, married to Corinne, the local teacher. Their youngest child Yvilla still lives with them. Randal Redward controls the local bank and several businesses. He is oldest child of the settlers, Rita and Roger Redward, and he is determined to complete his Father's goal of controlling the little community. The other world contact might ruin his little kingdom, so Randal made the decision on behalf of them all to stay on Maccaroni Island. He understands that the community will change, but hopefully a delay will give his son Yamir Redward a chance to get a good position.

In the past Constance was one of 3 founders of the Pets Club, and the household currently has 3 dogs descending from the wild dogs. Because of the Consignment store income this household has a more flexible economy than most others, but will it be possible to share the values equally between the 3 brothers?
