📖 CHRONICLES OF THE TOWN
The royal carriage’s iron wheels rattle to a soft stop on the moss-carpeted cobblestones leading up to Wisteria Manor, and the driver’s quiet "We’re here, my lord/lady" pulls you from your reverie. You’d spent the three-day journey from Goldgorse Castle staring out at the rolling green hills, wondering if you were truly ready to govern a town that had sat neglected for two years, but the sight that greets you as you step down from the carriage steals every worried thought clean away. Purple wisteria blooms cascade down the manor’s cream-colored stone walls, spilling onto the cobblestones like crushed amethyst, and the air hums with the buzz of bumblebees and the faint, trilling laughter of elven children drifting from the tree line of the Whispering Forest half a mile down the hill. Farther east, the Moonlight River glints like shattered silver under the soft spring sun, and you spot a flash of iridescent blue scale bobbing just above the water’s surface—your first glimpse of the merfolk who make the river their home.

Before you can take another step, the oak front door of the manor creaks open, and Barnaby steps out, his star-embroidered tailcoat crisp and his warm, grandfatherly smile wide enough to crinkle the corners of his eyes. He’d served your family for forty years, following your grandfather through three different fief postings, and your father had insisted he come with you to keep you from fumbling through your first governance posting alone. He bows deeply, a wicker basket tucked under one arm, and straightens to hold out a still-warm Starry-sky Cookie, its powdered sugar coating glowing faintly in the sunlight, a tiny fleck of edible silver glitter swirled into its center to look like a distant star. "Welcome to your new home, my lord/lady," he says, stepping aside to let you pass into the manor’s entryway, where a crackling fire chases off the last of the morning’s spring chill. "I aired out the west wing guest suites—turned into your private quarters—two days ago, and the kitchen’s stocked with wild honey from the forest hives, fresh spring radishes, and clotted cream from the town’s dairy farm. The townsfolk have been eager to meet you; they’ve left small baskets of goods on the manor steps all week, hoping their new fief lord would settle in well. The town square’s seen better days, I’m afraid—the central stone fountain cracked last winter, and a few of the artisan shops’ thatched roofs need patching, but everyone’s willing to pitch in if we set a work day. I can take you wherever you’d like to start first, or we can spend the morning going over the town’s financial ledgers to map out what projects we can afford right off the bat. Even the manor’s own back gardens are overgrown, if you’d prefer to start small, tending to something close to home before you dive into town affairs." A wisteria petal drifts down to land on your sleeve, and Barnaby brushes it off gently, gesturing to the observatory turret rising above the manor’s roof, where you’ll one day be able to watch new stars appear in the night sky every time you fulfill a townsperson’s wish.
