Cottontail Village - 179.140

Located roughly 72 miles from Krakonia City , it takes three days for most medium-sized humanoids to travel on foot between the capital and Cottontail Village (Four and a half for most small-sized humanoids). There is a maintained road connecting the two points, making travel straightforward and relatively safe. There is technically a way to sail there as well, although it is decidedly impractical considering it doubles the travel distance to do so. There is also a teleportation circle, courtesy of The Mages Guild of Krakonia (MGK and the Krakonia City Public Teleportation System (KCPTS), connecting the capital directly to the village, typically costing a single individual 15gp for a one-way pass in either direction.

Cottontail Village is the main location for The Cottontail Clan, one of The Clans of Krakonia that were officially created as a result of The Unification Wars. As such, it is unsurprisingly a village consisting of mostly Sylvildra. Due to its proximity to Krakonia City, it was among the first civilizations to declare its alliance to Krakonia during the war, and many of its citizens played pivotal roles that eventually led to the kingdom's victory. As honorable as this is, it is not, however, what the village is best known for.

Cottontail Village was originally an independent village of exclusively Sylvildra before The Dawn ever occurred. Generations of Sylvildra grew up in this village, living peaceful lives exploring the surrounding areas and otherwise keeping to themselves. This way of life was not, in fact, the one the Sylvildra in this village yearned for, especially its youth. It was only due to tradition that they remained in place all these generations. When the Dawn occurred, many saw this as a sign that they should embrace their instincts and go back to their ancient ancestors' lives of exploration and adventure that they all wanted to live in their hearts. As such, many Sylvildra quickly volunteered themselves to be guides for those that had been displaced, and Cottontail Village became a crowded stopping point for new adventurers. This eagerness to roam the lands eventually resulted in their immediate alliance with Krakonia and their eventual assimilation into the The Kingdom of Krakonia.

These days, Cottontail Village mostly consists of elders and children aside from the few vendors and craftsmen that choose to remain behind to keep the village running. Most able-bodied Sylvildra have left, seeking adventure and glory with their new otherworldly allies. The elders are the only ones these days who continue to stick to their village's traditions, believing that to explore Requerm too extensively is only an invitation to ruin.

Cottontail Village is the location where Mandisa first appeared due to the Effects of the Dawn. She believes that her treasured ring was lost somewhere around this village after she was attacked by monsters. She has since issued a Behest with The Adventurers Guild of Krakonia (AGK) to try and locate the ring.
