Yeoman

The Yeoman rank heralds the progression of Shire server members who have proven their mettle as builders and contributors. Rooted in historical significance, the term "Yeoman" historically denoted a free person holding a modest landed estate, a loyal servant, or a skilled worker whose efforts were marked by dedication and toil.

Elevating from the Tyro rank, Yeoman members attain the coveted status of full Creative mode. This privilege empowers them to shape the world within the main domain of the Shire server, offering boundless opportunities for creativity. Yeomen are free to construct in the Wilderness, collaborate in Yeoman-friendly cities like Mini Tirith or Beauregard, and contribute to the regions of fellow community members who extend invitations.

The transition to Yeoman marks a pivotal point where members are entrusted with the responsibility of adhering to the server's Building Rules. This includes mindful selection of locations in the Wilderness, ensuring harmonious integration with the existing builds.

Originally positioned as the first rank on the server before the introduction of Tyro in March 2011, Yeoman remains a crucial and revered rank within the Shire community. The rank's nomenclature, envisioned by Shire admins nebbers and Ctshiner, captures the essence of individuals engaged in substantial and impactful work. Yeomen play a vital role in the server's dynamics, pioneering new cities, initiating projects, and infusing fresh ideas into the expansive canvas of the main world.

As a testament to the influential role of Yeomen, all of the server's renowned builders and visionaries trace their roots back to this rank. The Yeoman rank stands as a testament to the spirit of collaboration, creativity, and transformative contributions that define the Shire server community.
