Creekweald Village

After the previous Wise One died peacefully in their sleep, the villagers of Creekweald appointed you to serve in their stead to make decisions, mediate disputes and ensure Creekweald's continued survival.

Records of names, birthdays, deathdays, relationships, harvests, omens... and at the end, a message for you.

"Strive for balance. Be generous but thrifty. Be strong yet peaceful. Avoid the ire of the God and the gods that came before. And whatever you do, don't fall in love."

History marches on.
