Harmony Island


I am using @Rflong7's Supernatural Island for this world. Many of the buildings were built by @Hidehi and others that participated in the world thread. Some I built. The thread is here.
Many of the sims in this world were gifts from other simmers. Some are their simselves. Some I created. A few were from the exchange collected over the years and I have no idea who created them. None are EA sims except those homeless or sims thrown in by Nraas SP to man the bars and other jobs. I will eventually give those makeovers. :wink:

Prologue

The Great War between the rogue supernatural beings and the humans with the assistance of friendly supernaturals is finally over. The devastation was catastrophic on all sides. A group of humans and supernaturals that worked together during the war banded together to search for a safe place to live and raise their families in peace. One of the survivors, a scholar, had heard of a mythical island in the southern seas settled by supernaturals many centuries ago, but hidden from the world. A search party was formed to discover the island.

After many months of searching an area of dense fog appears. So dense in fact they could not enter. The strange fog actually occurred from multiple spells that warded a massive area in the ocean. The magi in the party harnessed their considerable powers to unravel the wards. One by one the spells collapsed from their combined powers. As the fog lifted, they could see a large island with mountains, forests and beaches. What wonders await discovery?

Searching the island they were astounded to discover it was completely deserted. Not a single soul remained. No records disclosed what happened to the missing population, when or why they vanished. The homes were furnished and mostly in good repair. A few would require some renovation and of course modern appliances would be needed.

After much discussion, it was decided that the island would not be hidden. Anyone would be welcome to join them upon application. They would have to prove themselves useful to the community. All residents would be required to pay taxes for upkeep of government buildings, roads, parks and of course staff. Improvements on the private properties would be the responsibilities of the owner. The island was explored and mapped. They found several small islands shrouded in fog, creating a puzzle that will have to be solved later.

Lots and homes were assigned based on the needs of each family. Surprisingly, no disputes occurred over the choices of homes. They have learned the art of compromise having made it through the horrible war and desire for a peaceful existence.

With the help of the vampire community, the magic users set up teleport points. The remaining family members of the initial settlers were able to teleport to the island rather than suffering the tedious voyage by ship. Other survivors would be invited to join the community over time. Those with a connection to the first settlers would be given priority.

The leaders of each occult will govern the island as a group to set up rules and settle any disputes. They will retain their leadership titles if they choose. The hope is the differences between each occult would strengthen the community rather than weakening it. By tradition, the supernatural and humans are used to being ruled by one King or Queen with advisors to help with decision making. A King or Queen will be selected once the remaining survivors arrive and are settled on the island. The selection will enable their leader to participate in the greater world decisions and promote peace among the other towns and hopefully avoid future wars. Several names for the new world were suggested and by popular vote among the settlers Harmony Island was chosen.
