I think it is time that we start establishing borders. I don't mean just for the town; I mean for the actual country of Deadwood itself. Within this border we would want to establish maybe one or two more settlements. This would help keep some areas south of us from being overrun by bandits.
I think we can agree that the river on the west would be one of the borders, and then the river to the east and Lake Chuckles would be best for an eastern border (that way we don't interfere with Crimson Unity). However, we need to look into establishing northern and southern borders.
Right now there are farms and unincorporated settlements to the south and in the forest. I will be speaking with Freyja of Vackra Alskade to make sure we don't interfere with their interests, but I do think that we should have the northern part of that forest within our borders, both for our use and for preservation. It might be tempting to expand all the way down to where Durnion used to be (if there isn't already a new settlement rising from its ashes, that is).
As for the north, I think the mountains directly to the north and the current border heading into wilderness would be the best area to claim. We don't want to interfere with the expansion of Hillside Tavern or Tonkytown.
Let me know what you think. Once we make a decision, we will need to demarcate the border with signposts.
The reason I think this is important is because a number of other nations are starting to claim nebulous areas as theirs. I would prefer ours be solid, established and not in contention with our neighbors.
