Wolf’s Chapel is a small, self-reliant village located in the southern reaches of the Vale, nestled between old growth forest and forgotten trade routes. With a population of around 150, it survives through lumber, hunting, and seasonal harvests. The village is best known for its rare timber exports, ancient oaks, and enduring traditions rooted in both faith and folklore.
Visitors will find a tight-knit community centered around a few key landmarks. The Barrelhaven Tavern, run by Sybille Krüger, serves as the social and economic hub. The Chapel of the Flame, maintained by Father Martin, blends formal doctrine with local rites. Modest homesteads, woodcutters’ lodges, and a small market square make up the rest of the settlement.
Though it appears quiet, Wolf’s Chapel holds strategic and spiritual significance. It maintains a seasonal census post for the Church Militant and plays host to rites tied to the forest’s old balance. Outsiders often remark on the calm, but longtime residents know the woods are never truly still.
Travelers are advised to respect local customs, avoid straying from marked paths, and speak carefully near the treeline.
