Nestled in an ancient forest clearing, Thornhollow is a town of mossy roofs and woven bridges where timber and magic meet; lanterns hang from living branches and narrow lanes curve around root-bound houses, while traders and rangers haggle in markets beside a slow river that feeds the village mill.
Where lantern light and living roots shelter trade and secrets.
