Nestled deep in the primeval woods, Sylvanrest’s homes perch atop roots and stones, connected by wood-plank walks and woven vine bridges. Ancient trees tower above, their canopies alive with birdsong and the soft glow of enchanted lanterns, while villagers maintain a quiet harmony with both nature and fey influences.
