Description

Pinewood is a small town built at the edge of ancient ruins. Its master blacksmiths and enchanters draw on the raw magic pouring from a nearby Rift to forge powerful enchanted weapons, the finest in Meliora.

Historical context

Its wares made Pinewood the first target of the goblin invasion. While the townsfolk hid from the airships, the stranger held the ruins and gates above the village, destroyed a warped crystal that had left the town strangely lifeless and drove the orcs away for good.
