Shadoon

Shadoon is a crossroads town of carved porches and packed inns, built where a river bend makes room for a market and a famous glade hides a fountain said to bend dreams. Masters of joinery and lute-making work here, and the town welcomes traders while keeping a wary eye on the footsteps that come from the ancient forest and grey peaks beyond.
