Aspects refreshed May 16, 2026
According to legend, when the first season's standings were finalized, the settlement's founders carved a special tag from a massive Douglas fir stump and declared that whoever held it would forever be known as the one who controls the resources others depend upon. The tag has passed through the hands of those who understand that in the ruthless land rush, controlling timber means controlling the settlement itself.
Carved from ancient cedar heartwood with a distinctive grain pattern, bearing the visible rings of a 200-year-old tree. The tag carries the faint scent of fresh pine and possesses unexpected weight from the density of old-growth timber. Its surface shows natural variations unique to Pacific Northwest cedar, with each ring representing a century of growth before the pioneer settlement began.
The Timber Baron serves as the economic backbone of the settlement, their territory generating the resources that sustain all territorial battles. When this tag is in play, it creates economic dependencies between leagues - other players must acknowledge the Baron's resource control or face supply shortages in their own territorial ambitions.
