I have been playing some without updating and currently it is round 15. Marvin Angler moved to the military camp, which he left to marry Crystal Digger. Aegir, the youngest son and merboy, is the only Angler child still at home. He grew up to teen.

Aegir has started hanging out with with the merchant youngsters in the coustal province, the twins Vidar and Vimar Sydport, and Jennyver Russ. It is not easy to be different. His friends are richer and it's not likely they'll want to hang out with a fisherman, like Aegir, when they grow up

Vidar dared them to swim in the harbor. Aegir knew what would happen if he got into the water. His mother had warned him to never let anyone outside the family know what he really is.

Vimar mocked him for not knowing how to swim, Vidar suggested that Aegir was afraid because the water was cold, Jennyver giggled.

Aegir wished he could show the haughty rich friends who can really swim like a fish in water. The problem was that he would really become like a fish if he ended up in water. He would be an outcast forever if anyone knew.

Aegir's days were consumed by an unending series of chores. Despite his deep love for his parents, he often felt they couldn't truly understand him. His father, a full-blooded human, could never truly understand the nature of Aegir's burdens.

His mother, Marina, who shared his affliction, had grown increasingly anxious with age. The weight of her fear kept her from the ocean during the day; she would only venture into its depths at night, to avoid the risk of being exposed for what she was.

But one day, Aegir could no longer bear the confinement. The pull of the sea called to him with an undeniable force. With a final glance at his parents, he threw himself into the waves.

Beneath the surface, everything felt as it should—weightless, serene, and in perfect harmony.

The triplets are socialising while their big brother works.

Founder family, Haj (Shark) Under the sea. They are a family of 5 siblings, from left to right, Forkys, Thalassa, Thetis, Manannan, and Neilos. Under the sea is a subhood to my main hood, Wiikstad.

It was the first day of autumn in the coustal province and Marina Angler went for a swim in the ocean.

The house feels empty with the mermaids gone. Marvin misses his twin sister Marnia and starts to think that his future may not be as a fisher. As much as he loves his younger brother Aegir, he cannot share the interests of a merboy. Maybe he could join the army like his brother Ossian, and his father Rasmus before him? Rasmus left the army when he married Marina and is not very much in favor of his son following that career. Another option for Marvin could be to become a servant in an affluent family. Meanwhile Marina is dreaming of the world under the sea.

Next stop was hotel Valhalla.

Aegir grew up and Marina showed him a whole new world.

On the last day of the trip they met some tourists at the temple in old Uppsala and in Birka

The default for the tour guide was fine but the first version of the default bellhop had to be fixed.

Marit Tegmark followed the reaper. Morgan, her son started to reflect over life. Did he really have to be a farmer just because every generation before him had been farmers. Maybe he could make some money of his hobby. He put up his paintings for sale, and they sold.

Some random pictures from season 9 in Wiikstad

I found Grim Gren stealing from his own mother at the butcher

Margret Roos’ had prolonged har life with magical teas but the reaper finally came for her. Siv Gren will take over her house and business.

In the Silverax household, Ebba Piga and Embla Silverax played with the telescope. 

Ragnar Snickare started a fire.

I started to play again after a long break and found some photos from seasons 9 and 10 in a folder. In the Angler household Marnia grew up to teen. She has now moved out and work as a servant in the Royal castle.  When Aegir grew up to toddler it was evident that he was the first of the Angler kids to inherit the mermaid gene.

Although, being the oldest son and thereby the heir, Ossian Angler didn’t want to become a fisher. He hoped to find some more adventures as a soldier so he moved to the military camp. He was lucky, the soldiers were sent north to strengthen the relations with Wiikstad’s allies.

Now that Wiikstad has a harbor it is possible for the inhabitants to travel to distant places such as the tropical vacation destination.
