Oakhaven

Oakhaven is a cluster of timber-framed cottages woven into the roots of gargantuan oak trees. Braided bridges connect upper-level platforms, and the ground is perpetually carpeted in soft emerald moss. Bioluminescent fungi provide soft lighting along the main thoroughfares, while the canopy above keeps the village in a state of eternal twilight. It is a place of quiet industry and profound respect for the natural world, isolated from the chaos of the outer realms.

History

Founded by refugees of the Iron War, Oakhaven was built on the site of an ancient druidic grove. The settlers forged a pact with the forest spirits to ensure mutual survival. Over centuries, the architecture became one with the flora. While peaceful, the village has survived three separate blights and a siege by mechanical invaders. Today, it serves as a secluded sanctuary for those seeking harmony with the wilds, though old pacts are beginning to fray.
