"You're so close, darling. One more push. We're finally going to meet our baby."
Daniel Friddick knelt at the bedside of his wife, consoling her as she endured the suffering of childbirth. He wished nothing more than to take this pain from her. But, alas, the grand miracle of the delivery of a new soul into this world always came with a cost. He sent a silent prayer to the gods-that-might-be.
Maya's entire body tensed, and she let out one final scream as their child slid its way into the world.
Maya's mother held the baby and severed the life-linking cord. She smiled as she handed the newborn to his mother.
Catching her breath from her ordeal, Maya beamed at her child, blinking away tears.
"He's a boy. I suppose I win the bet," she said slyly, side-eying her husband with a huge, worn-out smile permanently set into her face.
"I guess you do." Daniel chuckled as he looked into the eyes of their son. Then, his eyes met his wife, who was radiant with joy. He nodded, expectantly.
"John," replied Maya, with no hesitation.
"John..." Daniel sounded out, grinning. "Little John Friddick."
They sat in silence for some time, falling in love with their first child.
Daniel and Maya Friddick lived in the quiet town of Sanfew on Remer Island. They owned a small shop by the name of "Friddick Wares", through which they made their means of living. Throughout the years succeeding the birth of John Friddick, they would go on to have four more children: George, Derek, Tom, and Charles, respectively. John, George, Derek, and Tom were all born within an eight-year span, but Charles would not be for another five years after Tom. The first four children were all close and, as they grew older, traveled around Remer together, exploring their corner of the world and getting into mischief. During this time, Charles was still too young to travel with them. He always felt left out due to the age gap between them, so he mostly stayed at home and helped his parents with their shop.
Due to this, Charles Friddick grew up with a mind for business. From a young age, he wanted to own his own shop one day.
Charles also had a strong penchant for tea. He drank it every day and even began creating his own, unique teas to drink. One day, he had had a realization.
I could sell tea to Father's customers.
So he threw together a batch of a few different flavors that he had been working on, and he carried the jugs to the shop the next day. He kicked open the door of the shop, to his father's surprise.
"Bit late today, Charles. What in Syrnia are you carrying?"
"I made tea and I want to try to sell it today."
Impressed with his son, Daniel Friddick acquiesced.
Charles would go on to sell tea daily to his father's customers. The early batches did not bring about many returning customers, but he worked on his recipes, attempting to perfect them.
Over the next few years, he made a name for himself as Sanfew's premiere tea salesman and decided to make his own shop dedicated to tea. He named it "Sanfew Tea", but later shortened it to a more unique "Few Tea".
Years more passed, and Few Tea thrived on daily customers and the occasional travelers. Charles was happy but felt that something was missing. He had spent most of his life in the town of his birth, and he had not seen much of the world since he could never travel with his brothers. He decided one day that he wanted to bring his tea to the rest of the world. He left someone in charge of Sanfew Few Tea, bade farewell to his parents, and took off to see the rest of Syrnia.
Charles journeyed throughout Remer, selling tea from the schools of Rile, to the ports of Senyn. Then, he set his sights on the other islands of Syrnia. Over time, he visited all of the known islands, and everyone knew the name of Charles Friddick and Few Tea.
In early 2007, an unknown group of people sailed to Port Dazar on Dearn Island. They told Dearn's people that they came from an island called Serpenthelm, and that they wanted to hold chapel services for them on behalf of their king. Sometime later, the leaders from the known islands made a deal with the people of Serpenthelm, map information was shared, and their known world grew slightly larger with the addition of Serpenthelm.
When this news reached Charles, he gathered what he needed and hopped on the nearest Xanso ship departing for Serpenthelm. He wanted to bring Few Tea to this new group of people.
The inhabitants of Serpenthelm were accepting of Few Tea, and news quickly spread, making its way even to Castle Rose. When the king learned of the "delicious tea" being sold by a newcomer to his island, he soon sent a messenger inviting Charles Friddick to Castle Rose. Charles gratefully accepted his invitation, and soon he brewed a fresh batch of tea to be given to the king himself.
On the way to the castle, he had to pass through Rose Gates. Charles showed the message from the king to the Rose Gates Guards, and they let him through. One of the guards inside accompanied him to the Hall of Kings.
As they were walking, Charles' guide glanced at him and said, "I love Few Tea. Thank you for bringing it to Serpenthelm!"
Charles smiled and thanked the guard for the kind words.
Charles appeared before the king in the Hall of Kings and offered his tea to him. The king loved this tea, and he even offered Charles a permanent spot in Rose Castle to sell it for as long as he would be willing. Charles was extremely grateful to the king, but declined his offer, as he had come to love his humble means of living as a traveling tea salesman. He did not want to be tied down to one location again, daily seeing the same walls and faces. He bade the king farewell and began to make his way out of the castle.
On the outskirts of Castle Rose, near Rose Gates, he happened upon a honeybee farm. Honey was a precious commodity in Syrnia, and Charles realized that he could perfect his tea recipes even further by having a good supply of honey on hand. He approached the beekeeper, who was an older gentleman, currently tending to a hive.
"Good day, sir. I am a traveling tea salesman."
The beekeeper turned around and glanced at Charles. "Ah. Hello. Are you the young man from Few Tea whom I have been hearing about?"
Charles smiled. "You would be correct. My name is Charles Friddick. I would like to offer you a jug of my finest tea, in exchange for some of your honey so that I can better my recipes."
The beekeeper stroked his chin, unintentionally revealing the small pile of bees he was holding. "Promebeetheus. Pleesed to meet you. I would like to try your tee beefore I make the judgment that it would bee worth trading for my precious honeey.
Charles handed him a heavy jug of tea.
"Thank you, young Charles. I--" At that moment, Promebeetheus took a step toward Charles to shake his hand before sampling the tea, lost his balance, and fell. He dropped the jug of tea, and some splattered into his eye. Promebeetheus clutched his face, screaming in pain, while some of the bees in his fist beegan their great escape.
The Rose Gate guard, who had guided Charles before, sprinted over at the sound.
He took one look at Promebeetheus and yelled back to the other guards,
"Few Tea is in the eye of the bee holder!"

| Season 2: Question #1.
I would remove the current state of Outlands mining, and fix it to be something better. So many players ally to mine out there together now, and there are so few PKers actually killing the miners. The Outlands essentially hosts a safe Platina, Syriet, and Obsidian mine with fairly low timers. It's detrimental to the ore economy, it is some of the fastest experience in the game for very little work (bar the highest levels of Fishing and Woodcutting), and it could overall just receive an overhaul to make things fit better with the game and economy as a whole. |

| Yeah, I would have a stream like Pendragon, I would be the host of
Everyday Christmas, give Hobbie a wish list
I'd probably pull an Gumby and Scary bacon
And give stuff to newbies that never had much
Give away a few LACs like, "Here buddy, have this"
And last, but not, least give terma a 4LC
It's been a couple months that I've had some cash, so
You can call me Hobbie claus minus the DD
Get it, I'd probably check up where Dede died
And be damn sure I'll pick up every dragon piece
Yeah, can't forget about me, stupid
Everywhere I go I'ma have a rose flower droppin'

If I'm being honest, I'd spend it on collectibles.
If we're assuming I have all the collectibles and I have nothing else to do with the 1 mil GP... then, I'd spent them on all Elven Lottery Tickets. I'm garunteed to win if I buy all the available tickets

| Sure! I "won" 1m gp, because I sold Solunar a 4 leaf clover for 1m and then stole it all back...I mean, somebody dropped it and since we don't have a lost and found I kept it.
What would I spend it on? Wenches and beer! Yo ho, a pirate's life for me!
Dance, Solunar, DANCE!
Edit: After yet another discussion with Solunar, I was given the option whether I would prefer Errant or Tiddles as Million GP Wench. My answer shall be an amendment to this question:
I rather donate the 1m gp to the Trump Foundation, than see Errant or Tiddles as Wenches! ;)

#1 I would remove Clan storehousez.
Because it causes a lot of dissatisfaction within clans. Loss of general clan communications and lacks friendliness that the original clans once had in working together instead they are cold and rigid.
#2 If I had a million gp I would buy me a few slaves(because who doesnt want slaves) to work day and night (as all good slaves do) on any skill I desire such as cooking. Yuck

| TO the tune of Hans Zimmer's "Hoist the colours" from Pirates of the Carribean:
Borneo and his mods
stole our gift to chat
and banished us to the OLs.
Their death be ours and by their powers
they one day this will regret
Yo ho, all hands
hoist your axes up high
heave ho, thieves and pirates
never shall we die
Now some have died
and some are alive
and others steal from Lodes.
With five fingers in the shops
and the Captain to pay
we burn down Dearn Island.
Yo ho, steal together
Lift the safes up high
Heave ho, thieves and pirates
never shall we die
The land has been plundered
by a hundred men
Hear the silence of fear?
A call to all
time to celebrate
Borneo pays for wenches and beer!
Yo ho, drink together
lift the goblets up high
Heave ho, thieves and pirates
never shall we die!
