Wayrest Crossing

Wayrest Crossing sits at the junction of ancient roads, serving travellers, traders, and fortune-seekers from every direction. The town’s streets are lined with mossy cobbles and lively market stalls, while old oaks loom over the outskirts. Stories say the land itself watches, and both opportunity and secrets await those who linger.
