Hatton Point - Children's Play Park

H&H sponsored and did the construction for the Hatton Point Children's Play Park. The design was primarily created by Mairead Harker with assistance from her father, Dennis Harker. Maggie's vision includes the following:

Hatton Point - Children's Play Park: Phase I - Campground and Fishing Area

A family campground with fishing and picnic areas. Comfort facilities are also provided. For those that don't care for tent camping, there is an area with cabins nearby. The campground has its own playground. The Play Park camping facilities are located in a grove at the center of the park. Personal tents and camping gear are welcome. While shower and rest room facilities are available, this area is considered to be primitive camping. Charcoal grills are available for general use. A camp store is located nearby for purchasing food supplies. The campground has a stocked fishing pond and playground. For those wishing to to have indoor sleeping quarters and/or cooking facilities private cabins are available. Lodges are also available for large groups.

Also known as WSOM Emergency Center



The ground and upper level of the fire station building were completed in 2014 during the tenure of Rhiannon Harker as the Baroness of Old Market. Currently, the basement is being renovated to serve as an emergency shelter.

ROCBG - Rhydin Observatory Complex and Botanical Garden

The ROCBG was built on a land grant donated to the city of Rhydin by Briarius Ravensheart and is located behind the Ravensheart Academy's Administration Building in Dragon's Gate. Then Governor Fionna Helston al-Amat had polled citizens for opinions on uses for land parcel 34-j7f005. The suggestions included an observatory, botanical garden, and public gardening space. After running the numbers on the land available, it was learned that there was enough space for all three of these things.

The Observatory Complex and Botanical Garden are public educational and entertainment facilities. An official opening and dedication was held at the Governor’s Yule Ball in December 2013. The patio and walkways that surround the area contain bricks engraved with dedications to the memories of deceased and missing citizens of Rhydin. Several of the park benches have also memorial plaques.

The complex’s cornerstone bears the name of Harker and Hall Architecture, Ltd. The cornerstone was one of two concessions requested in exchange for services rendered to the city. Responsible for the design, building, and upkeep of the ROCBG, H&H is a family owned and run business that operates in the City of Rhydin as well as the surrounding realms. Richard D. Harker and his longtime friend, Albert W. Hall, are the joint owners of this organization. Harker’s wife, Rhiannon, is in charge of Public Relations. Mrs. Harker also serves as General Manager for the Observatory Complex. Another member of the family, Eregor Túr Gairdín manages the Botanical Garden.

Facilities within the observatory building honor and remember several citizens. The Botanical Garden, however, was dedicated in memory of one person, Fayalki the Hunter. For many years, Fayalki served his adopted home as a shaman and healer. He is best remembered, along with his wife, Dechirant (Dey), as a beloved bartender at the Red Dragon Inn. His tomahawk still hangs on the wall behind the bar.

The Botanical Garden is home to a variety of plant species including examples of those native and non-native to the Realm of Rhydin. There is an active beehive and an ant colony within the conservatory. While the honeybees can safely be observed from behind a plexiglass wall, a reminder is posted for the benefit of those with allergies to bee venom. Doses of Epinephrine are kept on hand as an emergency precaution. Some of the honey produced by the hive is sold in jars and products sold in the cafe of observatory building. Restrooms are located just outside the conservatory.

There are plenty of places on the grounds to enjoy a stroll, a quiet place to think or read, or enjoy a picnic in the grove. A gazebo has played host to a few weddings and performances of local artists. A small carousel for children is open most of the year. Several greenhouses and garden plots are available to the public, free of charge. The only stipulation is those patrons that are growing plants known or found to be poisonous do so in one of the smaller, single holder, greenhouses that can be locked. During the winter freezes, a large pond is used for ice skating.

DESMC - Dockside Emergency Services and Medical Center

During the tenure of Governor Colleen MacLeod, the public was polled on the choice of district for the location of a combined emergency services and medical center. Ground was broken at what was originally the site of several large warehouse buildings near the docks. Two hospital ships, christened Stardreamer's Wish and Anvil's Hammer are moored at the Docks. The third ship, Arcadia Afloat, is moored in Seaside. The ships were named in honor of those that had donated and refitted them; Ebon Ilnaren, Kruger Allen, and Aja Bird. Several rescue boats also dot the coastline.

Building and contracting services to the City of Rhydin were provided by Harker and Hall Architecture Ltd. Several other local businesses donated services and goods for this project.
