Rivelune

Rivelune is a small farming village centered around a dirt road crossing the verdant plains, known for its quiet temple of Chauntea and rich golden fields. The village’s inn buzzes softly with travelers and locals alike, while autumn harvests swell the community's stores. Despite its calm, shadowed glances toward the cemetery at dusk hint at forgotten rumors and restless spirits.
