DC: Sailing the Duché is now Better than Ever
QH Discussions
Finally! I can sail north/south down the PCE river past the Petit Trianon. Don't know how many times I was stopped by the danged low bridges but no longer

Sailing has always been an important activity in the Duché de Coeur so I'm delighted to say that with the new configuration of Provence Coeur it's now even better than ever!
The Shared Seas between the Duché and Rocca Sorrentina has been increased and it's especially exciting that the interior waterways of the Duché are now more accessible. New sailboats with special masts will allow you to sail under bridges providing full north to south and east to west travel.
You can find the new boats at Port Trianon or the Provence Coeur Beach.
Blue sailboats will stay rezzed permanently. Red sailboats will disappear five minutes after being abandoned.

Bon voyage!
Merci beaucoup, Una!
It's always a pleasure to see you bustling about the farm & village though I do have to keep an eye out for some of your workers as they always give me a bit of a start when I encounter them
It's been a wild & wonderful ten days but it seems like the tremors have abated and Provence Coeur is beginning to settle into its new shape with an expansive shoreline and increased access via the rivers into the interior of the Duché. Of course there will always be changes to be made but the bulk of the excavation has been completed. Whew!!
Please drop by; explore the cave & tunnel system (bring a lantern), visit The Farm (pet the goats), go for a sail or just sit and roast marshmallows at the campfire on the beach.
Many thanks to everyone for their kind words and encouragement which truly helped speed this project along!
Need Milk?!
Some splendid goats have been added to The Farm . If you need fresh milk or wool please feel free to visit this small herd of nannies and take advantage of their excellent production. BYOJ/BYOB (Bring your own jar/basket)
A bit of a swamp has oozed into the NE corner of Provence. As luck would have it, a bit of rence has begun to grow there. Artisans should feel free to harvest this wayward rence and turn it into baskets, brooms, beer etc.
Wear your waterproof shoes and for goodness sake don't get caught in the quick-mud.
I hope the old goats found a good new home, or at least a competent butcher.
Let's just say the old goats aged gracefully and leave it at that
Lovely to be located by the sailable seaside! I will have to pop over to see how it looks in its new position.
Please do! It's very much still under construction but I think it's coming along nicely and the extra sailing space is fabulous
The Blacksmith Shop has been added. Carpenters will share space with the smiths.
The iron and salt mines are located just up the hill from the Blacksmith Shop.
The forest, such as it is with only five trees, is just below the mines. QH carpenters in need of fresh wood should feel free to fell a tree or two.
