Darstay

"Nestled in the Archduchy of Sovar is the Village of Darstay. It sits amidst the remnants of an ancient, long-lost civilization, where once-imposing walls and mysterious circular structures have crumbled into obscure ruins.
Among these ruins is the village of Darstay. The villagers have fortified their homes by using the old ditches as natural defenses, while the lord's manor occupies one of the circular islands, standing as a striking contrast to the surrounding humble abodes.
A sense of community thrives in Darstay, centered around a charming church with its own vegetable and herbal garden. Travelers passing through may find a fleeting respite in an inn or tavern, while two watchtowers, perched atop the remnants of circular structures, silently ensure the village's safety.
The once perfectly straight canals, now dried up and filled with earth, wind through the village, bearing traces of an advanced civilization's engineering prowess. Faint outlines of paved roads crisscross the settlement, hinting at a meticulously planned past.
Darstay's isolation is palpable; it's a place where time has seemingly stood still. Enveloped by the ancient Durwood forest and positioned near the meandering Harven River, the village offers a tranquil escape, yet one cannot help but sense an unsettling stillness in the surrounding wilderness.
In Darstay, the past whispers through the wind, and the present thrives in an eerie harmony with the echoes of a forgotten era. It's a village that beckons those seeking solace, a taste of history, and the chilling allure of the unknown."
