Collamour welcomes you as you've never been welcomed before.

On the coast of the sunny Mediterranean there exist a place of intelligence and compassion. As the sun gently caresses your cheek you may look around and marvel at the wonder that is fertile and wholesome Collamour. Adjacent to the sea and all of her wonders, the people of Collamour live in tight knit communities waiting to include you. They respect and care for each other in all capacities they can through barter and free exchange of services. Anything your community cannot provide you with, your government can. Your needs are guaranteed with just a simple municipal application. Individual worship of iconic academics and artists of the past creates a sense of reverence to something greater than the individual but has no obligations, as in unfortunate parts of the current world. The natural beauty of Collamour will draw you out; to participate with all citizens in the true possibility of the life you want; so rarely attained anywhere else.
A trust in the land, a trust in those at hand, knowledge allows impunity and respect creates unity. Welcome.

William's Journal

It was raining this morning so I awoke to the soft pitter-patter of the drops on the eaves. Relinquishing the warmth of the down in the loft I climbed down the oak ladder towards the smell of bubbling pancakes. After talking to Marion about our plans to expand the garden and build a new bookshelf for the sunroom I found Albert, John and Elizabeth to share our carriage with on the way to the academia center. My focused study of neo-Germanic trends in modern colloquial language is really coming together. The department is almost ready for me to begin lecturing on my thesis publication. Though I have finished writing my dissertation a busy time still remains for the next few years, afterwards perhaps I shall run for municipal office; my interest in the market regulations has only increased since Elizabeth’s dissertation on modern politics. When I got home Marion was teaching the Mercedes girls how to make apple turnovers and I had time to harvest from the garden before the evening meal. The rain had brought back our somewhat droopy tomatoes, Plato blessed. Our chapel is falling into a sad disrepair, the leather on the chairs is cracking and many of the selves are starting to buckle, must cut cedar boards next time. I will go and read after the evening meal, it has been far too long and I feel I ought to be knowledgeable for Newton day and May Fest.

Alexander's Journal

In class this morning we learned about the dance bees do to find the bestest flowers around. We spent all morning with Miss. Lilac and she told us why bees are really really important in our town and taught us how to wiggle just like them. And I painted a picture of the field beside my house with lots of bees and flowers in it and me playing with them and not even getting stung. I ran home to get to lunch and I had goat’s cheese and bee honey on bread with my favorite mango juice. When I go back to school we get to go out to some field and see where the bees really live and how to take care of them with your own garden. Miss Lilac said if I still really like the bees next year I can start taking care of them and learning more about insects in our garden single every week! Mum just said the May Fest and Newton parade are in two days, I get to help pick the flowers and decorate our costumes. I think I will dress up as a bumblebee this year. I can’t wait for the gypsies to come back in their caravan and eat sugared limes. I have to practice my bee wiggle so I can dance with all of the hives when I get back.

Sara's Journal

After I arose to greet the sun with the neighbors I went to cook the first meal for Bernie and myself. After the morning chores and my bath in the lake I got ready to go to my workshop. The latest firing is scheduled for today and I spent much of yesterday finishing and perfecting the glazing. Half of this batch of pots and kettles will go to the municipal collector for the semi annual stoneware replacement fund and I have painted the other half intricately to trade at market for more wheat. We have begun to stock up for the approaching rainy season. I must soon apply to the municipality for roof maintenance so they have a chance to replace the sod before the rains come. Today has been such a beautiful day, Camus be praised, it will be a nice day for painting the Galapagos finches recently brought to the park. I packed a picnic instead of returning to the house for midday with the family, Mrs. Nisholm baked us another fresh loaf yesterday for her new salad bowl and the avocado tree in the yard has finally produced, as has the garden so my lunch has been pleasant. We are scheduled to pick up our goat’s feta this week from Madame Fromier, I will do that before my evening classes on ancient runes and language and watercolor painting. It is almost time to load the kiln before my afternoon walk with Fran. Must remember to talk to Agnes’ son Ivan about loading the cart and helping me at market next week. So odd to have the children moved to the bigger academia center in Prouston and Maggie on the homestead an hour away. I’ll have to pull out the Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica to read myself on the Newton day festivities.
