Taraxacum

**Taraxacum** is a village located somewhere on Earth. It was founded by Quinn, following her death is was ruled/cared for by Sadie, Vivian, and Maximon, respectively. It is currently led by President Caligo Diruyo and Vice President Priya Kolohe.

## Description

Taraxacum lies beside a small mountain covered in dark oak trees. The main plaza of the village contains a young oak tree with a sign on it labeled "Quinn's Oak" which has a wooden bench constructed in front of it. There is a gravel and dirt path that leads to each of the houses, and there is a small pond with a shrine built on the center of a small island placed in the center of the water. Four flowers surround the shrine, each representing one of the Aster siblings--a daisy, a rose, a dandelion, and a poppy.

From the shrine, if you turn to the left, a large home meets your eyes, this home was previously inhabited by Quinn, though is now occupied by Oly. The houses are constructed of dark oak, spruce, and have moss roofs. If you were to turn right when facing the shrine, a few houses sit on the outskirts of the village before the foliage gives way to what appears to be a graveyard. The gravestones are black and seemingly corrupted.

Turning around from the shrine leads you toward the farm, which is over a short bridge suspended over a long, narrow river. Despite its size being quite small, it's extremely deep, and is home to a few sirens. The farm is bordered with spruce and dark oak slabs, and the buildings around it are full of animals and places to store animal products. Following the path just past the barn, three statues have been constructed, remnants of Sadie's reign. She constructed one for Quinn (because she was the founder), one for Svjetlo (because he killed Clarkie), and one for Jessie (also because she killed Clarkie). It is however notable that the sign that once read "Jessie" in front of the statue has since been scribbled out and completely illegible.
