Dev Diary #4 – The Village Life
The night may belong to you, Bloodlord…But it is the people beyond its walls, their beliefs, routines, fears, and whispers, that shape Sangavia.So what is life like in the village of Medrești?At the Edge of the VillageIf you turn right at the entrance to the village, you will find the coachman. He can quickly drive you to other places, connecting Medrești to the wider world. Along the way, he gathers stories from the road and can share the rumors he has collected. Continuing on this path beyond the hill will take you to the Medrești cemetery.If you turn left at the entrance to the village, you will find Florica, the trader. She arrives with rare goods and fine aristocratic clothing, but what she truly brings is knowledge. Like the coachman, she hears lots of things and, for the right price, she will happily share the rumors. RumorsRumors are part of daily life in a village. Every villager has something to say, a small piece of gossip each day. Someone likes to collect rocks. Someone drinks. Another sets traps in the forest.These details may seem small at first, but do not brush them off. Just make sure you keep an eye on your Journal when choosing the next villager who will receive the life of eternity. The Beating HeartAt the center of it all stands the tavern, run by Boian, the tavern keeper. This is where the news spreads, worries are shared, and strangers are measured with cautious eyes. For you, it is a place of gossip and where the village’s wealth is reflected.As nights pass without incident, Medrești slowly prospers. Trade flows, work continues, and the taxes you collect grow alongside the settlement’s stability. A calm village is a profitable one, so make sure no one sees you hunt!Just outside the tavern stands the shrine. While many places in Sangavia worship the Eternal Mother, Medrești follows a more local belief: the Forest Mother. She is not seen as a distant divine figure, but as something older, tied to the woods, the soil, and the land that gives life to those who live here. Intrigued?
