Oakhaven

Oakhaven is a collection of timber-framed cottages with thatched roofs built into the massive roots of elder trees. Fireflies illuminate the paths at night while the sound of the nearby river provides a constant backdrop. It is a sanctuary for travelers and a hub for those seeking rare botanical ingredients. The village remains hidden from the outside world by a thick canopy of leaves that filters sunlight into a soft green glow.

History

Founded three centuries ago by refugees fleeing a distant war, Oakhaven was built around a singular, luminous tree known as the Heart-Oak. The settlers made a pact with local forest spirits to live in harmony with the land. Over time, it became a vital stop for traders moving between the coast and the inland mountains, maintaining its neutrality despite the changing world.

First AgeThe Founding PactSettlers and spirits agreed on the borders of the village.

Second AgeThe Great BlightA magical plague was cured by the first village druid.
