Beorn the Third

## **Summary**

Beorn the Third is a character in the Stoneworks Minecraft universe portrayed by user and youtuber IrishPorygonYT. Beorn the Third only appears in Eldham, never in Rathnir. He is currently the self-appointed mayor of Beorn's Haven**,** which is situated in The A.W.E.

## **Background Lore**

Beorn the Third is the mayor of Beorn's Haven and considers himself part of the Builder caste. He comes from Middle-Earth in the land of Arda, but how he got to Eldham is unclear. He is said to be the grandson of Beorn, the Skin-Changer who helped Thorin and Company as documented in "The Hobbit." Beorn the Third is a misnomer, as he is not the son of anyone called Beorn Jr, but of of Grimbeorn, Beorn's son. He is estimated at 52 years old, so Beorn the Third may live anywhere from 50 to 120 more years. He seems to be non-religious. Beorn the Third does have the ability to transform into a bear like his grandfather, but he has not done this in decades, as it causes him immense pain. Beorn the Third may be part Elvish, as his ears are very elf-like.

## **Beorn the Third's Diary**

* **June 4th, 2021**
	+ I have arrived in the land of Eldham. Arda bores me, and I wish to seek out a new adventure. I settled in an area with no other living things in sight, in a rather peaceful forest with towering oak trees by the coastline. Using my bearlike strength, I was able to build a perimeter fence, a deep mine that even dwarves would envy, and a storage area. I am very tired, I may have overexerted myself. I named my fortress Beorn's Haven, after my grandfather, who was always welcome to travelers.
* **June 5th, 2021**
	+ I finally have a house built for myself. I built it high above the rest of my structures, so I can see approaching threats. I am happy to report that I can rest easy tonight knowing I am safe.
* **June 6th, 2021**
	+ Today I have built a dock for ocean voyagers to land at from faraway places. If anyone should need refuge, I shall assist. No one deserves to be deserted, and this is a motto I hold close to my heart. Today, I goddess from a distant realm entered Eldham. She calls herself Entropy. I was given a strange rock known as bedrock. What I should do with it, I am not sure.
* **June 7th, 2021**
	+ I have constructed two watchtowers in my encampment. I desire that if a threat dares to attack Beorn's Haven, they will meet with steel fired from atop these mighty twins.
* **June 8th, 2021**
	+ Today I constructed four fearsome tools that will make any rogue think twice about crossing me. I carefully crafted *Kodiak, Mountainmover, Grizzly's Bane, and Denmaker.* May they serve me well.
* **June 9th, 2021**
	+ Today I made the decision to plant farmland around the village. I cannot survive on buying the yields of others forever, and so I am trying to become self-sustaining. I also utilized the technology of air pockets to create a sort of two-way elevator in my mines. I call this a bubble elevator, and it is very convenient. I was able to also enter an otherworldly place known to the locals as the Nether, and I noticed I am not the first to arrive here...
* **June 11, 2021**
	+ My village was raided! I do not know how or when this happened, nor who did this horrible act. The bedrock I received is gone, along with other things of lesser value. Unperturbed, I pushed forth and spent a day in my mines. Unfortunately, the trusty *Mountainmover* broke, and I forged the *Mountainmover II.* Also, an alliance known as the nation of The Wandenreich contacted me and let me know they were claiming my city as their own. They are letting me remain as mayor, and so I will not contest their claims, and look forward to years of friendship!
* **June 13, 2021**
	+ Today I increased the height of the village walls. The structure looks intimidating, and I believe it may ward off possible attackers. I also constructed a house just outside of the walls of the village. I posted a notice stating the terms of rent, and I am excited to begin profiting. I set the rent to be low so that someone may actually decide to invest in my real estate.
* **June 17, 2021**
	+ I did some landscaping along my shore and in my hills. Overall, the area looks more polished now, and I am satisfied with the result. However, my base was raided again, but they strangely only stole trivial items such as all my crafting tables and saplings. While this is annoying, it is not a major setback. Also, a structure appeared in my village today, the "Shrine of Dudes" as it was labeled. It had gift of saplings and sweet berries. I decided to rename the shrine to the Shrine of Giving, a place where people with extra supplies can give to the needy.
* **June 18, 2021**
	+ Today was a relaxing day of construction. I made a second house in the village. No residents have moved in to the first house, but I thought having a second property could not hurt me.
* **June 30, 2021**
	+ A great achievement was made today! I purchased a land claim for my village! This is amazing, as now most of my village is protected from random raids, except from those nasty bandits. I was not able to afford a claim covering the entire village, but I got started! I also had enough leftover money to purchase a sheep, which I named Shawn. Using shears, I will be able to harvest wool from him which I can turn into string. This will bring me great profit, as I can cell string in an auction. I also completed work on the third house in the village. Great things are sure to come! I also replaced my pickaxe with a new one, named *Mountainmover III.*
* **August 11, 2021**
	+ I returned to Eldham after a lengthy vacation. I stayed in touch with the rest of Wandenreich during this period, and we have now united with some other nations to form the A.W.E. I am excited to see what happens next as our nation is quickly becoming one of the most powerful places in the world. I am also now a member of the Senate. I am still alone in my town. Today I also replaced *Denmaker* with a new shovel, *Denmaker II.*
