Watchlist
- dragonborn are legendary in this setting, so any confirmed appearance should be tracked.
- Daytime disappearances are part of the setting premise and should become a thread once they affect the party directly.
- Wealth is tied to wood, dirt, plants, and woodland creatures; unusual access to those resources may reveal factions or power structures.
Resolved Threads
- None yet.
