Tucked deep within a pine-shadowed valley, Grethlyn Hollow is a quiet, insular village known for its harvest bonfires, carved mask festivals, and the thick, creeping mist that clings to its hills year-round. The homes are simple — timber-framed and moss-draped — with lanterns hanging from crooked branches that seem to bend just slightly closer each season.
The people here are friendly in that distant way country folk often are: polite, practical, and wary of strangers. They say the woods listen, and so, most speak in low tones once the sun dips behind the trees. Visitors rarely stay long — not because they're unwelcome, but because they feel… watched.
