Avekhi
Geography
Avekhi is one of the several continents on this world. It has land connections to 3 other continents.
The only access to open waters is on the Northern side.
The South is dominated by a harsh desert.
The South West consists of gigantic mountain ranges and deep valleys between the high cliffs.
There is another mountain range in the East.
The North and North East and North West have a temperate climate and lush meadows, spotted with smaller nad larger forests, lakes and rivers.
Population
The Western part of Avekhi, almost half of the landmass, has remained unclaimed due to the gigantic, thick forest and monumental mountain ranges dominating it and making it hard to colonize.
However, there are supposedly between 10 and 20 factions claiming land on the Eastern half of the continent.
Arteura
The Arteureans claim a part of the Northern coast, as well as a medium sized forest close to the coast and part of a giant lake, a hub for trading and traveling.
The following map shows about 60% of Avekhi.

Halflings
Halflings and crime
Since most of the humans in this part of the world live in medieval-like societies. There are prejudices, superstition, low education. Humans see most other races as inferior, and while in communities with a large percentage of halflings those tendencies aren't as strong, they grow stronger the lower that percentage is. In a balanced community, there are as many halfling criminals as there are human criminals, and most halflings are normal people living their life. Another reason for their bad reputation in smaller communities is, that the halflings, due to the reasons mentioned above, are often being ignored and isolated by the humans and thus are more likely to turn to crime to get by.
Stealing and borrowing
For halflings it is common sense to share things with their neighbors. In a halfling community, people don't have to ask if they borrow things, and usually they bring them back when they are done using them. If they get destroyed or damaged, they will let the owner know. Unfortunately, many halflings tend to forget that humans don't handle things like halflings do, and so it happens quite often that a halfling "borrows" a tool, which the human interprets as stealing. That could add to the halflings reputation as thieves, but most of the time the "stealing" happens in good faith.
Humans
Spread
Most of the humans in this part of the world live in medieval-like societies.
Many kingdoms and factions are ruled by humans and their population consist mainly of humans.
Arteureans
The Arteureans claim a part of the Northern coast as well as a medium sized forest close to the coast and the North Western part of a giant lake, a hub for trading and traveling.
They are a race of fishermen and merchants, loving to trade with their neighbors and rarely starting any conflicts.
The only rivalty exists with their North Eastern neighbor, Ulun, a cold, harsh and brutal realm dominated by tribes of half-orcs and tall human barbarians.

Day 3 - Overhauled
Sorry for the pause.
I was working on background stuff for this a lot,
including a graphics overhaul, working on the toolset I'm coding for this,
and preparing a lot of stuff to lessen the work I have to do for each future update.
I hope you guys like the new look. ;)
The new base area is 2048x2048, I hope that's not too large to comfortably check out.
I've done some small changes to the items your group brought with them. There are now chisels and hammers and pickaxes and so on.
There also is food for 4 days (even 5 with the caught fishes), and you can now see the sum of the food item's nutrition in the food spoiler.
Enjoy!

In the morning, the scouts come back from their respective expeditions.
Most of the area seems to be quite peaceful and safe, looking basically just like the surroundings of your camp.
A few kilometers to the North, just before the forest begins, they found an entrance to a small cave, just a few meters in diameter.
The cave walls seem to show traces of some mineral, but they couldn't make out what exactly it was.
Fliraal offers to take a look, since she's the only one with any experience regarding metals.
About 1 kilometer to the South, there is a rather large area with loamy soil that could come in quite handy.
The clearing is dotted with groups of boulders and tress, and for more wood, you can simply go to the forest.
(The clearing is about 10 kilometers in diameter, you are in the center more or less)
Unklihuth caught 9 fishes over the day. There are 3 seaspears, long, white eels and 2 trident carps, named after their distinctive tails, both of which also live in the three borders sea.
The other two fishes though are new to her, there are 3 greenish fat eel-like things, and 1 formed kinda like a flat disc.
She suggests to flatten the center boulder and use it for butchering fish and other animals.
You decide to give the hats Klenzbyvem brought with him to the most important members of the group.
You just aren't exactly sure yet about who the most important members are. You should give that some thought. *looks towards the players*
Your people begin to try and move some of the boulders into a more useful formation.
This is gonna take a day, and probably not all of the boulders will be moveable.
You tell Flivairwin to help you cut down that tree. This will take a day (cutting and preparing it for further processing).
Your people have discovered two new animals.
One is a small rodent with moss green fur, the other looks like a mix of a tortoise and a monitor lizard. Neither seem to be aggressive and they don't even really seem to care about your presence.

Day 4 - It's taking shape
FYI: The posts are "snapshots" from midday. You can decide actions for the next day as well as for the rest of this one.
(http://i.imgur.com/CdcAQqj.png)
It has been hard work, but your halflings managed to build a small wall out of the not too big boulders in the area.
It will take much more for it to become a serious defence, but it is better than nothing.
As they were gathering the boulders, they examined the berries growing on the bushes.
There are those big, orange fruits, which smell and taste like a mix of peach and banana. They are very sweet and juicy.
Then there are the smaller, blue berries. They have a stinging smell and are very soft. Even the slightest touch damaged one, and the juices leaking from it leave a burning sensation. Water seems to be able to wash it off completely, though.
Not having any orders from you, they now do what they think needs to be done.
The Dipri brothers are taking some of the smaller stones and set up a fireplace.
Klenzbyvem and Togbyss are checking on the animals, making sure they are healthy.
After cutting that tree, you and Flivairwin keep processing it.
The twigs you gave to the Dipri brothers for the fireplace,and the boards you staple where you cut them, for now.
You will keep doing that until there comes up something more important.
Unklihuth, not getting any reply about that center stone from you, decides to take matters in her own little hands.
She spent hours carving that stone, using hammer and chisel, but she did it.
Now she's getting ready to butcher and dry those fishes and Jonyrkat, the pastry cook, decided to help her.
Deppuc, the singer, takes a closer look at that lichen growing on some of the boulders here.
They seem harmless to the touch, and unlike the blue berries from the bushes, the blue berries growing on them smell sweet.
He didn't dare to try one, though.
Fliraal decided to spend some time watching the mossy rodents.
They seem not frightened at all, even though they went closer together when your halflings started gathering the boulders.
They make weird sounds, like a donkey with an extremely high-pitched voice.
It almost seems as if they are talking to each other.
While setting up the wall, the halfings also moved the storage a bit.
