Silverford

Silverford perches on the northern bank of the Velmaris River, a modest fishing and farming village known for its abundant fresh catch and seasonal fairs. Its timber-framed houses cluster around a central square with a weathered stone bridge arching over the river. Life here flows with the river’s rhythms, but rumors of ancient ruins upstream and strange lights in the marsh stir whispers among villagers and travelers alike.
