Roots and Routes

Havenfall is no longer just a clearing; it's a testament to human will. With initial survival secured, Seraphina "Sera" Cottage and her people turn their gaze outward. Roots and Routes sees Havenfall begin its ambitious expansion, developing intricate resource chains-logging camps feeding sawmills, mines supplying forges, and farms nourishing a growing population.
Led by Sera, with the invaluable support of Kael, the skilled foreman, and Lyra, the sharp-minded resource manager, exploration teams venture beyond Havenfall's immediate borders. New territories are charted, and crucial trade routes are established. But this expansion inevitably leads to contact with other groups of settlers who have also claimed parts of this wild continent. Some are peaceful, eager for trade; others are fiercely hostile, guarding their claims with suspicion and force.
As Havenfall adapts to a world no longer empty, the ancient ruins discovered in Book 1 begin to yield more tantalizing clues. Strange, energy-rich artifacts are unearthed, hinting at the technology and downfall of a forgotten civilization. These discoveries promise to revolutionize Havenfall's development, but also threaten to attract dangerous attention from those who would exploit their power.
