Sweetblossom Commune
Woodstock in Alkun
The Commune is a semipermanent, open air encampment of halfling artists, poets, performers, and spiritual gurus that has existed in one form or another (and in one place or another) for as long as anyone can remember. Some believe it was originally a Farlander encampment which drew in many outsiders, but no one really knows.
Sweetblossom Commune is a somewhat chaotic, eclectic, and idiosyncratic place where all manner of dress or undress pass without comment. Free love is practiced by any who will, without judgement or even notice. Conflicts, if they even do occur, are mellow and short-lived (possibly as a result of the liberal use of pipeweed and other recreational drugs).
Strange as it may seem, the Commune excels in the education of young minds in an unsurprisingly eclectic fashion, having "graduated" everything from accountants to zoologists (not to mention the aforementioned artists and so on). There are no tuitions or fees, anyone wanting to learn must become part of the community. They are tasked with chores like any other member, cooking, cleaning, chopping wood, and so on. Even the governance of the camp is democratic and without a centralized authority.
