Aeternum
"The wind whispers to you as you approach."







General Information
Aeturnum is a small riverside town. Its main focuses are brewing, the pursuit of knowledge, fishing, and farming. The most prominent features of the town would have to be the large, blue trees, of unknown origin.

General History
The word 'aeternum' itself, means eternal. Founded by Lady Willow Tidewater, of Tu'raun, it was meant to be the continuation of her town. Seeing as there could be no place like her home, she chose to rebuild in a new way, deciding on a new name.

Environment







Geography of Aeternum
~=+=~
​

River: The river runs past the town, providing a steady stream of fresh water. The waters are naturally cold, and during winter, the only reason it doesn't freeze is the current.
Underground Springs: Underneath the soil and stone, underground springs can be found. Most are pleasantly warm, but some can be frigid, or boiling.
Migratory Patterns: Winters here aren't as harsh as up north, allowing the fauna to stay longer before their long trek south.

Legends
The Faeries
There are said to be faeries that roam the fields, blessing the townsfolk. When displeased, they are said to cause mischief, from small items going missing, to livestock escaping. The townsfolk are advised to hang faerie houses to stay in their good favor. Most unpleasant events are blamed on the faeries displeasure and so the townsfolk hold yearly events to appease them. They are thought to be similar to Alterans in making, though none have been seen thus far.
