Lakeview Town Hall

## Affiliation

Priesthood of Eris

**Lakeview Town Hall** was the administrative and civic center of Lakeview Village during Dragonhollow's First Era.

It was also the headquarters for the Priesthood of Eris.

# History

    Lakeview Town Hall was one of the first buildings laid down in Lakeview Village after its founding on 1E:1, serving as a source of civic information for the people of Dragonhollow and the administrative headquarters for Acey and her priesthood.

Lakeview Town Hall was incinerated by the dragon Mesonyx on 1E:7 but returned anew thanks to the restorative power of Eris. From then until 1E:10 the Restoration Pack was made available through the Town Hall's public information board, designed to help residents rebuild after the costly damage.

The addition of an Elite Control Room on 1E:10 gave citizens access to Elite status and the Elite Control Panel.

To aid residents in their recovery from the War of Wizards the Time Warp Pack became available at Town Hall on 1E:27.

A Care Package was distributed from Town Hall in honor of Dragonhollow's Monthessary celebrations.

On 1E:56, Acey provided the DDoS Protection Pack at Town Hall for those affected by the World Warp and to make up for lost productivity during the mandatory evacuations to Chronos.

    Lakeview Town Hall received a festive makeover with Holloween decorations in the form of jack o' lanterns and moody lighting. Trick-or-treaters could also receive their Surprise Bag from the public information board. Several days later, the gargantuan spider Rachnis nested upon the roof of the building.

According to *Lakeview Lost*, during the deadly First Bloodmoon on 1E:68, Azureila led a team of residents who fought their way into Town Hall through swarms of armor-clad monsters in the hopes of using the Elite Control Panel to make it daytime and thus force a premature end to the Bloodmoon, only to find the ECP unusable. The building was later overrun by the hatchlings of Rachnis and like most of Lakeview was burnt to the ground when desperate residents tried to use fire to hold back the hordes.

# Points of Interest

### Public Notice Board

A public information message board was located just inside the entrance to Town Hall. Acey posted official notices and reminders there on a regular basis, making it one of the most useful sources of information in Dragonhollow.

Item packs were also distributed via the board, available to all citizens by right-clicking on the corresponding sign.

### Courtroom

The courtroom, the largest internal space within Town Hall, was intended for use in dispute resolution and punishment sentencing. A raised dais was located at the front of the room for Acey or her delegate judge. In the center were desks for the plaintiffs and defendants. Off to one side was a small jury box. The back of the room had two benches reserved for spectators.

As most disputes were litigated in the Forum, the courtroom was rarely used.

     was home to the Elite Control Panel

### Elite Control Room

The Elite Control Room was used to both purchase Elite status and access the Elite Control Panel. From there, residents could alter the time of day, clear the skies, and harvest monster spawners discovered underground.

Use of the Elite Control Room cost 16 gold ingots, required citizenship, and lasted for six hours.

### Ban Board

The Ban Board listed the names and infractions of every resident who was banished by Acey during the First Era.

### Acey's Office

Acey kept an office in the northeast corner of Town Hall. Her computer desk and its throne-like chair dominated the room. A mailbox allowed her residents to leave messages and packages, though early on thieves stole items from it before she made it theft-proof. The west wall was covered in a project board that listed her future plans for Dragonhollow.

If she wasn't relaxing in Oakenheart or hard at work on a task, Acey could usually be found in her office.

### Public Commons

The grounds surrounding Town Hall were heavily trafficked. Outside the front entrance stretched a cobblestone courtyard with a water fountain in the center. To the south a raised wooded terrace held three community boards where any resident was free to leave messages. North Lane and the airship dock were accessible from the courtyard.
