Yew’s Bend

This town is quite small, located to the south of Whistler Crest. It is quite easy to find - just follow the river for a few days and look for the stands of trees nearby. Housing is primarily earthen or simple shacks, made out of materials like earth, sod, and straw.

The townpeople seem to have given up on getting the expeditioners to leave, and some are willing to answer superficial questions about the town.

Living Houses

The houses in this town seem to be mostly made out of dirt and other earthern materials. From the outside, you can tell that some of the plants are used not only as decoration, but also as reinforcement, keeping the buildings sturdy. You would love to see inside, but the villagers do not seem as thrilled when you make the suggestion.

You do notice a lot of storage room, even just judging from the outside. It seems Yew’s Bend grows a LOT of food! They are very good at not only growing, but preserving food. It seems a bit odd just how much they have stored in comparison to their small population, though. Maybe the winters here are very harsh?

Abundance of mood rocks

Many of the Draken in the village seem to be sporting mood rock necklaces. Most of these necklaces are orange, however some villagers also have differently coloured necklaces. It seems off to you that they have so many, since they're quite rare or expensive, and you haven't seen any evidence of them being abundant, or event present, in the area.

The Draken

Oddly enough, this town is composed exclusively of earth draken.

Nyulop and especially Astralit get some strange but curious looks from the locals. Most of the magic users here seem to excel at Flora magic. There’s a wide variety of crops and plants being grown here.

The finley here are quite reserved about the newcomers. They seem incredibly reluctant to talk to most, and conversations are usually pretty short. They seem to be more willing to open up to fellow earth draken. There’s only a few children here that are old enough to be “allowed” to interact with the adventurers. They keep their distance, but are very curious!
