Three Streams
Nestled among golden grasses and gently rolling hills, Three Streams is a tranquil farming and trade town built where three freshwater streams converge into one. The streams provide rich irrigation for the fertile surrounding lands, making Three Streams a key agricultural hub within the Eldergrove Plains. Verdant fields of wheat, barley, and flowering herbs stretch in every direction, and the scent of warm earth and wildflowers lingers in the breeze.
The town is modest in size, with stone-and-wood cottages, ivy-wrapped fences, and a few larger structures including a communal granary, a local temple to various harvest deities, and a windmill-powered mill that services both the town and its neighbors. Cobblestone paths curve with the natural shape of the land, crossing over the streams via low wooden bridges. These waterways are both symbolic and practical, with old legends saying that the three streams represent unity, sustenance, and growth—values deeply embedded in the local culture.
Three Streams is known for its tight-knit community and its seasonal festivals, particularly the Confluence Bloom, held every spring when the streams run full and wildflowers coat the fields in a riot of color. Farmers, herbalists, and brewers from neighboring villages come to trade goods, blessings, and stories. Though peaceful, the townsfolk are resilient, having endured both drought and storms, and they are quick to protect one another in times of hardship.
Recently, there have been whispers of strange lights seen by the streams at night, and of animals behaving oddly near the riverbanks. While most dismiss these as harmless folklore, a few elders believe the waters remember older magic—long dormant, but perhaps beginning to stir once more.
