Oakhaven Bend

Oakhaven Bend is a cluster of thatched-roof cottages nestled in a sharp curve of the Silverflow River. Golden wheat fields stretch to the horizon on one side, while sturdy piers line the water on the other. A massive ancient oak tree stands at the village center, its branches decorated with ribbons and offerings to Chauntea. The air smells of freshly turned earth and drying fish, reflecting the dual life of its inhabitants.

History

Founded two centuries ago by a circle of Chauntean druids, the village grew from a small commune into a vital agricultural hub. It survived several floods and a minor goblin raid during the Year of the Tattered Banner. Today, it serves as a peaceful waypoint for river traders and a sanctuary for those seeking a simple life tied to the seasons.

The Age of GrowthThe Weeping FloodA massive overflow of the Silverflow threatened the harvest but was diverted by communal prayer.
