Opening statement
Please forgive me for this belated and still rather minimalistic edition of the Times this week, but I am just feeling a bit overwhelmed and worn out by some IRL shenanigans currently. But hey, I think I can see the light at the end of this tunnel, so things should get brighter again very soon!
But now, don't occupy yourselves with humble Fin's worries, I am sure everyone has his own burden to carry, and instead lean back and enjoy a short but hopefully still good read!
Project Progress
Andrast (In Progress) - Lead: @jacenpeter
This week Brazen has continued his work on the surroundings of Methrast, there's also a Plotbuild running there, if you're quick you might even still be able to claim one of the few remaining plots! Additionally avinyard hops plantation and a lumbering place was added near Methrast's wall.
Progress in the rest of Belfalas is a bit tricky to pin down tbh, but it seems as this week all of the coastline and the neighbouring areas between Methrast and Lostfalls was completed, oh and it looks absolutely gorgeous! Lovely work on the flowers and of course the terrain shapes!
Lamedon (In Progress) - Lead: @_Luk
Jacen has started to apply the materials - snow, stone and grass, to a rather large area in northern Andrast, meanwhile Wrox has continued his terraforming in the south.

The town of Smailholm is almost finished, only a last checkup is needed now! Additionally the Lamedon building team has conquered a large chunk of terrain, only adding some materials left to do there, and have begun an all new village, located in one valley to the west of Smailholm. There is a Plotbuild running too, if you're quick you can still get a plot!
MORIA (In Progress) - Lead: @Despot666 & @Finrod_Amandil
So in principle witing updates on Moria is pretty simple: Fire made progress on his hall, Darki made a nice hall, Depot finished a hall, oh yeah, and I made progress on the Hall Chamber of Light for the upcoming build day!
Tolfalas (In Progress) - Lead: @Tyranystrasz
No progress this week.
Valley of Erui (In Progress) - Lead: @Mandos
Another all new village has been created in the valley of Erui, centered around a nice small lake it's a nice bunch of wooden houses, check it out, even more as I was too lazy to take screenshots for you 
Texture Development
- @NEEPcrafter has submitted a few more 3D models, as of the next RP update you'll hopefully find 3D chain rails (for cranes and log stacks) as well as actually wheel-shaped wheels for carts, or handles for cranes.
- @SKy_the_Thunder has added two more designs to his fantastic banner textures: A swan boat for Dol Amroth and Durins Crown over a Hammer and Anvil for Dwarven realms.
Plugin Development
