The island
A large island in the middle of the sea. The town sits in the middle, where rivers with wooden bridges meet; from there a river winds east to the coast and sandy paths lead out to lakes, forests and cliff plateaus you climb by their stairs, the biggest one in the west. Saplings wander the grass around town.
Point at a monster, a character or a dungeon on the right to see where they are.
When the town gets very busy, its players are split into shards, so it stays smooth for everyone: you see and meet the players in your own shard (the minimap shows which one), while the town's people are there for all. Your party, a player you're trading with or fighting, always ends up in the same shard as you.
