    I have a map that some midget dwarf little person gave me when I was a kid... He said that this map will show all the "time" holes within the known universe. He wanted to get stinking rich with the thing, but I think we can put it to better use.

    East Tenne: Tellico

    On the Unicoi Peninsula, the southern most corner of the Tenne region, early settlers still have not gotten used to the fact that their backwoods area was ceded to Wirdleonia. They live in the South East Tenne District but are residents of the Regency of Wirdleonia. Confusing? You bet! They were even more astonished when teams from the City Planning Office, telling them that the remote stretch was about to become a major city in Schulmania. Eager for development, the settlers helped the surveyors and many joined the construction crews. Their finished work, the city of Tellico, centered on Sequoyah Lake, is a bustling seaside town which will certainly prosper with its fortuitous location between the Tenne coast and Wirdleonia.

    As displaced citizens arrive in Tenne and western Wirdleonia to avoid the combat areas to the east, the need for more housing, commerce and industry has become critical. The City Planning Office's response to this is one of the largest cities in Schulmania. Let's come in and take a look.

    We'll start by looking at Sequoyah Lake, a large freshwater lake between the Tenne coast and the border of Wirdleonia. The elevation of the area surrounding the lake is very low, so it is prone to flooding after heavy rains.

    After a sudden thunderstorm, lake levels rise quickly, covering much of Unicoi Marina. Luckily, lake levels drop as quickly as they rise thanks to porous soil. In half an hour, it will be dry again.

    lake4.jpg

    The shoreline is fairly densely vegetated, which helps prevent erosion when the lake rises. It is also fairly rocky, with several outcrops along the shore. Overall, it is quite scenic.

    lakeside1.jpg

    With moderate effort, one can hike the entire perimeter of the lake. It is completely encircled by development, but there is sufficient buffer to allow for the lake to still feel like part of nature.

    We will now expand our focus outward, to see some of the developments around the lake. Tellico is unique in that it has more shoreline than any other city built in Schulmania to date - the entire lake shore plus a sector of seashore at the very southeastern corner of Tenne.

    EtowahCollege-1.jpg

    The campus of Etowah College serves the greater Tellico area. This lakeside campus offers undergraduate and graduate degrees in over fifty areas of study, including SchulmArcheaology, ClawMatology, Business & FurNance, MeowThematics and many more popular options.

    etowahcollege.gifEtowahMascot.jpg

    Awesome logo for the college, isn't it? In a tribute to its founding during wartime, the college teams' name is the Golden Claws and the school colors and gold and red. The mascot, Sir Purr, is a fixture at all of Etowah's games.

    SequoyahPlace-1.jpg

    Sequoyah Place is the largest commercial structure in town. It is Schulmania's version of a shopping mall, featuring shops and outlets for dozens of retailers and service providers, as well as an al fresco food court in the center. It has been extremely popular with the locals since it opened.

    sequoyahplace.jpg

    Here's an advertisement for Sequoyah Place. This poster can be seen all over town.

    Doing its part to help the war effort, this urbanized area has its own farmland as well. The small farm, named Tellico Farms (how creative!) sits near the Tenne Sea shore. It helps supplement local needs so that food produced further east can be sent to help our military.

    TellicoFarms.jpg

    The small farm is very efficient, producing enough Fancy Feast to feed over 2,000 feline residents.

    cath1-1.jpg

    One of the very rare examples of religious architecture in the Island Georgian style is the town's cathedral. Very few buildings have been built blending the island style with the formal and highly articulated Georgian style. The only other significant example of this style in Schulmania at present is the cathedral in Campo di Carmelcciase.

    The massive and stunning cathedral is a focal point for the town. Its massive red tiled dome is an instantly recognizable landmark and can be seen at sea. The colorful and bold geometric stonework on the exterior lends vibrancy to the area and is matched by particularly impressive detailing on the interior.

    homes4.jpg

    The same color palette of earth tones carries over to the extensive residential areas. Here, we see the charming fountain in the center of Fisk Park, the centerpiece of the neighborhood of Gray Fisk.

    homes3.jpg

    Despite the high population density, the Fluffytail community still has plenty of open space.

    We will explore more of Tellico, a planned community already among the top 5 in population for Schulmania, in future updates.

    Those are some spectacular pictures. The whole thing reminds me of the "Assassins Creed 2" video game, especially the cathedral.  I want to climb a building now!

    Surprising development in the midst of being invaded. The buggs cant get those strong felines down. 9.gif

    The lake itself looks tranquil and beautiful.

    THIS is a masterpiece! Do you have a new plop shores mod? This just looks awesome... Living in prosperity is always good when the enemy has claimed land... as history keeps telling us. Either this, or living in 'prosperity' when claiming land, it works out both ways. As long as Schulmania doesn't get more hindered by the evil ones, I am fine 4.gif

    Bruce, great work on the update, take care 4.gif ,

    Naftixe We'd love some peace. But, they started it and won't stop attacking. They are very evil buggs!

    Abcvs I hope those evil buggs get the message.

    Sirron Kcuhc That's just where Queensferry wants you - don't eat one! If you do, you will become one of their drones.

    Abcvs Exactly!

    Sirron Kcuhc Uh oh! That was Granny Legg's homemade "chocolate" chip special cookie... you may be doomed...

    TmiguelT Scratch them!

    Hester THEM! Scratch them!

    Sirron Kcuhc Oh noes! You have consumed Oil of Onimay!

    Leech10 Unholy donuts from an evil country. Seems about right.

    Sirron Kcuhc The dark side ones do!

    jim 546 But after the choco-bizz wears off, BuggUla has them working 23.9 hours a day in the salt mines... just to salt the crackers to go with the Oil of Onimay...

    ComputerGuy890100 Eat ours... ours have no Oil of Onimay and have whiskers made of sprinkles in every 10th cookie.

    Sgt Pepper Very much so!

    TowerDude Looks can be deceiving. Queensferry promises love and all that but delivers destruction and wrath. Beware the evil dark side of Queensferry!

    Leech10 Eat ours and not the "chocolate" ones!

    Sirron Kcuhc Just remember, stay away from the Oil of Onimay laced ones.

    TowerDude I baked me a batch of frosted Wirdle Wafers this very afternoon. Want some?

    Hester Me too. They are tasty and they seem to go pretty fast...

    Naftixe A&W? That would be great in a float right about now!

    ComputerGuy890100 You are welcome to as many of these as you want:

    50202728_b5fd830e4e.jpg

    Markus J No candles here... wouldn't want to melt a kitty...

    Benedict Thanks. I am glad you like it. The name, as many of the names for this region do also, comes from the local area. Here's the actual Tellico Lake:

    TellicoLake.gif

    tellico-marina-ariel.jpg

    Sgt Pepper Thanks. I did enjoy this one. Played around with the flora and rocks a bit more than usual on this one. Tried to give it a little bit of a different feel. I am glad you liked the outcome.

    jim 546 Lemme tell ya, I climbed the belltower of the actual duomo in Florence when I was there. Great view but they really should have invented the elevator a few centuries earlier... Glad you liked the update!

    Leech10 This one has been under development for a while. The construction was sped up to accommodate the resettled residents from the east.

    Archean That's right. They will never win! And we just built a big new city far away from their invading evilness.

    Hester They will not LOVE that island by the time we are done with them!

    lucky7 I am glad you like it! Danke! I am using the same RRP flora as before. But, I decided to add in some other items I don't usually use. I have some shrubs and big leafy things to give it some variety. We will continue to live our lives while defeating the evil aggressors!

    TmiguelT Woo hoo! Go Tellico!

    Leech10 Hmmmm... interesting mmmmmm? New goodies will be out before long!
