A little something to bring nostalgia and transport you back into the crappy but somehow magical graphics of old Jorvik
(P.S. am not hating on the game as it is nowadays with this)
Edit: y’all are so sweet I love you

I has always bothered me a little how Jorvik is… badly planned in SSO? There aren’t enough pastures, there aren’t roads for cars, gas stations. There aren’t schools, grocery shops, or enough housing for people to actually live there. The cities and inhabited areas are badly planned and laid out.
It doesn’t bother me when I play, and it is understandable, this is a horse game after all, not GTA. But it comes back to bother me when I’m thinking about my character’s story, trying to write the layout of the story, or when I read the books.
It is obvious that book Jorvik is different to the game Jorvik.
And today, I realised that Moorland doesn’t have enough pastures. For the purpose of immersing myself into the story, with my oc, and with the other characters, I will have to come up with how the locations would look if they were to actually function, and be inhabited. Idk if my brain can do that XD

Sso: Hey are you here for the riding program??
MC: yeah
Sso: GREAT, we’re never bringing that up again btw
So, just going to casually drag this blog kicking and screaming from the depths of Pandoria for a hot second to introduce an idea I’ve had for a wee while...
✨Jorvik Riding Academy ✨
Nestled in the heart of Jorvik, a quick ride from the city and connected to the current playable map by the tunnel in dundull, towering above the landscape as it clings fiercely from the cliffside Is Jorvik academy. A sprawling fort turned school, the imposing structure offers teachings and housing for thousands of students from around Jorvik and the world. With stunning facilities and miles of land dedicated to horsemanship, the academy offers countless programs from veterinary courses, Dressage education, western riding and more.
Unlocking central Jorvik, and by extension the Academy, would require players to have a high reputation with the Baroness & Jorvik rangers, as the Baroness initially starts the quest, requesting you aid the rangers in their expedition.
Clearing the tunnel would be a few daily missions after initially clearing the first roadblock. Clearing boulders and collapsed earth would be the rangers duty’s, every daily revealing small passages, caves and beaches, while the player clears brush and small debris.
Eventually the last of the blockages would be removed and Jorvik’s central plains would be free for exploration. Coming out of the tunnel would have the player meeting up with the Eastern division of the Jorvik Rangers, who would in turn point you towards the Academy.
Before reaching the Academy, Players would most likely want to explore an updated and expanded Jorvik city. Players would be able to explore the more rural area on horseback, the area mostly being NPC houses and a cafe or two. But once they ride into the more populated area, much like the current city, players would be required to dismount in order to go further. It would be mostly the same, catching trams to go to different areas, but unlike the current one, players would be able to get to these areas on foot as well, a few more cafes, restaurants and shops hiding in explorable alleyways and streets.
In order to reach the Academy however, players would take the main road out of the city, following it across the plains, passing a few farms, herds and a few mounted NPC’s, some sporting the Academy uniform. Eventually players would come across a grand gate nestled in a small forest, slightly ajar and sporting horses galloping across the wrought iron. Following the cobbled path, glimpses into the thinning wood would show jumps and obstacles set up, more NPC’s following the track. Continue following the road up a winding incline and you’ll be greeted with a grand stone arch proudly sporting the academy’s name and banners, green flags adorned with a silver pegasi. A little further would reveal the first building, a covered area much like the silverglade one, with a few daily races ranging from dressage, to jumping, and western trials. Climb further, passing more areas, some solely dedicated to certain disciplines, and you’ll find yourself at the front gates of the Academy, a towering fort resembling more of a small castle than any school. Once you pass through the imposing doors, a grand courtyard covered in greenery, stables nestled in the ivory walls.
The interior would hold classes as Daily’s, contents being the history of Jorvik and its people, learning about the different horse breeds and the origins of different riding disciplines. Daily classes would be held in the classrooms closest to the entrance, majority of the rooms being empty, great places for more close knit club meetings and roleplays.
The stables would be similar, a block sectioned off with the doors open to the world, allowing players from all over the server to stable their horses temporarily, being able to stable your horse next to your friends without relying on the home stable. These stables would also have a connected indoor arena.
This would also lead to another few levels in the personal stables, a few more stalls, bigger tack room with the ability to display favoured sets, an updated feed room with the current stalled horses names appearing on feed buckets, and a big upgrade, a personal riding arena. The ability to customise the home stable would be good here, being able to choose a style based on discovered areas, being able to display seasonal decorations year round.
Another addition included with the Academy would be players appartments, a dorm wing introducing the ability to have a private place for the player to display trinkets and ribbons attained trough play, and finally put the furniture to good use.
Tumblr media
Since the Academy teaches all disciplines, I’ve put together a handful of sketches of different sets, some basic ones purchasable after completing a tour of the academy, and more unlock-able after building reputation with the Academy's riding team. Forgive me for not including a western set, it’s still in the works. If anyone has any ideas on more sets, you are absolutely encouraged to voice them. I’m also still working on tack, though much like western, that isn’t my strong suit.
Tumblr media
I’ve also included a few more colours variations if people aren’t fans of the green.
Tumblr media
I’m currently working on a sketch of the academy grounds.
If you’ve made it this far, please share your thoughts and ideas, I would love to know what people think. I know realistically that Ashland and the rest of southeast Jorvik would be opened first if anything, and with devils gap opening soon, that is hopefully what’s in the works, but a girl can dream.

anne’s scars only glow pink if there’s enough pandorian energy around. otherwise, they’re just normal scars, which is how she walks around in broad daylight without scaring the normal jorvegian citizens who don’t know what pandoria is. everyone just assumes that something (non-magical but still traumatizing) happened to her while she was missing, but no one is rude enough to actually ask what.
