Oakhaven

Oakhaven is a village literally grown into the trunks of massive Great Oaks. Rope bridges connect timber houses suspended in the canopy, while ground-level structures are draped in bioluminescent lichen. The air smells of damp earth, woodsmoke, and pine resin. It serves as a secluded sanctuary for those seeking to live in harmony with the primeval forest, far from the industrial wars of the stone cities.

History

Founded three centuries ago by druidic refugees, Oakhaven began as a humble circle of tents. Over time, the settlers learned to magically shape the trees without harming them, creating a living village. It has survived three major forest fires and a brief occupation by the Iron Legion, which was repelled when the trees themselves seemed to turn against the invaders during a midnight skirmish.

Age of SproutingThe Founding PactDruidic leaders struck a blood-oath with the Forest Spirit to build here.

Age of ShadowThe Blight SiegeA necrotic plague was purged by the combined ritual of the village elders.
