# Crossville Village - The main settlement
location_id: crossville_village
name: Crossville Village
location_type: town
region_id: crossville

description: |
  A modest farming village built around a central square where several roads
  meet. Stone and timber buildings line the main street, with the mayor's
  manor overlooking the square from a small hill. Farmers sell produce at
  market stalls while merchants hawk wares from distant lands.

lore: |
  Founded two centuries ago by settlers from the eastern kingdoms, Crossville
  grew from a simple waystation into a thriving village. The original stone
  well in the center of the square is said to have been blessed by a traveling
  cleric, and the village has never suffered drought since.

ambient_description: |
  The village square bustles with activity - farmers haggling over prices,
  children running between market stalls, and the rhythmic clang of the
  blacksmith's hammer echoing from his forge. The smell of fresh bread
  drifts from the bakery, mixing with the earthier scents of livestock
  and hay.
