Waymeet

Waymeet sprawls around a stone crossroads where rivers join and trade flourishes. Markets burst with exotic goods, wagons circle a bustling fairground, and rumor travels faster than carts or coin. The air is laced with spices, laughter, music, and undertones of intrigue—adventurers are welcomed, but rarely leave unchanged.
