Softleaves lies between a small inland lake and the coastline above Willow, positioned where wind moves freely through open spaces. The settlement is shaped as much by air as by wood. Homes are arranged to allow breeze to pass uninterrupted, and narrow walkways curve gently toward water.

The people of Softleaves have cultivated a unique relationship with wind. Rather than resisting it, they give it voice. Windchimes crafted from shell, polished wood, and carved bone hang from eaves and tree limbs throughout the village. When the air moves, the town sings.

The lake reflects soft light during the day, while sea breeze cools the evenings. Residents are known for their light craftsmanship and sound artistry. Instruments here are delicate, built to harmonize with natural currents rather than overpower them. The atmosphere feels airy and reflective.

Softleaves is neither defensive nor withdrawn. It is receptive. The village listens constantly, attuned to subtle shifts in wind patterns that may signal deeper changes in Mana or tide. Since the Tower’s appearance, some chimes resonate at slightly different pitches during certain nights.

Yet the people remain steady. They believe that as long as the wind continues to move, The Wisp still breathes.
