Weiern

Weiern is a small fishing village in the north of the North Burn. It exudes a rustic charm, with quaint cottages clustered along narrow cobblestone streets that wind their way down to the rocky shoreline. The air is filled with the briny scent of the sea, and the sound of crashing waves provides a constant backdrop to daily life.
Despite its peaceful appearance, Weiern is not without its defences. A series of crude wooden barricades and watchtowers dot the outskirts of the village, manned by vigilant guards who keep a wary eye on the surrounding wilderness. However, when dangerous beasts arrive, the villagers can mobilize quickly and flee the village on their boats, choosing to ignore the beasts until they leave by themselves rather than risk injury or death when fighting.
The village is governed by consensus of the community, particularly skilled fishers who have demonstrated skill and wit. Decisions are made through a vote, with each fisher getting a say. The weight of each individual vote is tied to the size of the largest fish that fisher has caught and brought back to the village.

Legend has it that the waters off the coast of Weiern are home to a rare species of bioluminescent jellyfish that emit a mesmerizing glow after sunset. Locals believe that these mystical creatures hold the key to unlocking the secrets of the Tideless Abyss and traverse it safely, and their presence has become an integral part of the village's identity. Each year, the people of Weiern celebrate the arrival of the jellyfish with a colourful festival, honouring the natural wonders that surround them.
== History ==
Weiern was founded centuries ago by a group of fishermen and their families who got lost in the tumultuous storms seas of the Tideless Abyss. They made landfall in the middle of the wilderness and established temporary lodging. Over time, the fishers built more and more permanent housing until the community eventually grew into a small village, sustained by the bounty of the ocean and the skill of its inhabitants.
