DOMINION CAMPAIGN

Hidden deep within the tangled depths of the Feystar Woods, Wanderholt is a mystical village shrouded in secrecy and ancient rites. It is said the paths to Wanderholt shift like the winds, and only those guided by fate, or sheer luck, can find their way. The villagers, a mix of mortals and fey-touched wanderers, embrace their isolation, living in harmony with the forest's enchantments and dangers.

Thick woods (said to be haunted by those who don't see) surround the settlement, their gnarled trees and eerie whispers deterring all but the bravest, or most foolish, adventurers. The villagers believe the woods themselves are sentient, granting protection to those who respect them but leading trespassers astray until they are truly lost in the woods. Trackers serve as guides for those seeking refuge, using their uncanny connection to the forest to traverse its shifting trails. Alongside them are the rangers, vigilant protectors who keep the balance between the village and the surrounding wilderness.

At the heart of Wanderholt lies the sacred grove, a glimmering clearing where the villagers gather to perform rituals and commune with the spirits of the woods. This grove is tended by dedicated druids, who channel blessings from the forest spirits. Their work ensures the village thrives.

The village itself is a scattering of modest homes and winding paths, a place of serenity and cooperation. Here, villagers celebrate their lives, trading goods, sharing meals, and telling tales of their experiences within the enchanted forest. The Guides, a wise though mysterious group of figures cloaked in green, act as mentors to new arrivals and stewards of Wanderholt's traditions. Occasionally, travelers who have lost their way, and their minds, wander into the village. These 'fools' bring out both laughter and compassion from the joyful community who believe that nobody arrives in Wanderholt by mistake.

Wanderholt exists in a delicate balance between the mundane and the magical. The King's decree to chart the Feystar Woods brought the village under the Kingdom's banner, but most of the outside world knows little of its existence. The occasional pilgrim, lured by rumors of blessings and a different way of life, makes the trek through the woods to seek enlightenment and wisdom in this place of wonder, where the forest's secrets are whispered and its gifts are cherished.
