Turn is a small but bustling village nestled in the remote Kalterntal valley, far from the hustle and bustle of Earlsdale. A solid wooden palisade surrounds the village, providing protection from the valley's dangers. The people of Turn are hardy folk who make their living through farming, fishing, and hunting. Men often venture on horseback to hunt wild boar and deer, while women tend to animals and crops.
Life in Turn is simple yet fulfilling. Each morning brings new tasks to be completed by nightfall: fetching water from wells, repairing fences, herding sheep, baking bread, brewing ale at the tavern, or weaving fabrics at home. Evenings see families gathering around dinner tables laden with food cooked over open fires, followed by games and storytelling until bedtime.
The small temple of Gjord, built years ago, honors the god of fertility, health, and happy families. This sacred place reflects the villagers' deep appreciation for Gjord's blessings.
Turn's picturesque location features tall pine trees lining its forest-bordered streets, with snow-capped mountains rising dramatically against an azure sky. These breathtaking views can be enjoyed year-round, regardless of the direction one looks.
At nightfall, curfew bells ring throughout Kalterntal, calling everyone back into town before the gates close tight until morning. This practice, though seemingly extreme, has ensured the villagers' survival through countless generations, protecting them from the dangerous creatures lurking outside after dark.
Once the gates close, villagers gather around campfires, singing songs about past heroes who once called the valley home. They draw strength from each other's company and the surrounding nature, finding solace beneath a glorious canopy of stars.
