Welcome to the Coastal Realms! You find yourself at the entrance of a small Village, where thatched-roof houses dot the landscape. A well-worn path leads to the local Tavern, while another branches toward a modest Shop. In the distance, an ancient Forest looms mysteriously.

Several villagers go about their daily routines. A halfling child chases a chicken, while an elderly woman hangs laundry. You notice a group of worried-looking elders gathered near the village center, speaking in hushed tones. The tavern seems busy despite the early hour.
