Tantem is a tight-knit orchard village founded by reformed bandits, known for its fruit market at the gate, apple-scented streets, a popular tavern, and a wooden tree-temple that marks the road's end before the deep forest.
A fragrant village of apples, old bandit hearts, and quiet stories beneath the trees.
