Signol

Signol is a compact logging town at a forest crossroads where sawdust and song blend, and every person is measured by their ability to swing an axe or set a bench. Craftsmen set out with portable workstations to finish projects in the field, and the single path out of town is busy until sundown when the woods become dangerous.
