Holzbruck

A small timber village outside Reinthal, vulnerable but stubbornly communal, known for its workshops, fence lines, timber supply, and hard-earned warmth. Holzbruck has little power in the conventional sense, yet its people understand mutual repair, shared labor, and the difference between protection and ownership. It is the first village to openly trust Azura and Dorian, making it an early emotional and logistical root of Valerion Sanctum.
