Thuromel

Nestled in the deep heart of the Elder Thornewood, Thuromel weaves sylvan beauty and wary hospitality. Canopies knit above shingled rooftops, open-air markets sprawl beneath ancient oaks, and rune-carved lanterns keep the dusk at bay. Life here hums with woodcraft, magic, and the age-old pact with the forest. Strangers are eyed with curiosity, for peace has not always reigned beneath these endless branches.
