[Delete] | Located in the center of the Feudal Domain, Oak village began at the base of the Mother Tree and has grown upwards ever since. It now rings the trunk in a series of tiers interlinked by wooden bridges and roadways which span the gaps between levels. Almost every structure is built of wood as this is the most abundant resource available, however, the houses are all vividly painted as an expression of the individual(s) resident within the dwelling. The higher up the trunk, the more spectacular the view - it is clear that the higher up the tree the greater the wealth. Each tier possesses a unique character which captures the time it was constructed from ancient primitive styles to beautifully elegant constructions.
The level of technology utilised would be higher than most other cities in the Feudal domain, using "green tech" for most of it's power sources in order to keep the environment clean. Cars would be present on the roads around the base of the tree and it's complicated road-system that circled the trunk as well as hovercraft that would be used to get at the higher and harder to reach parts of the city.
One of the oldest of locations in Oak Village is that of Oak Tavern. Built at the base of the trunk of the Mother Tree, Oak Tavern was one of the first real businesses to have been opened in the, then, village and has weathered not only the years and conflicts of the area but several different owners and destructive events that had befallen the area. Now somewhat of a tourist hot spot, it is visited by many a stranger as they pass through the area and also used as a regular drinking spot for many of the citizens of the city.
Another common location visited by a number of the denizens of Oak Village as well as travelers, would be that of Oak Park. While there is a number of small parks in the city, this is the largest expanse of green land amongst the buildings that make up the settlement. With some pathways leading through it, there is a few public areas where people might gather to sit on benches, play chess or just relax. However, there is some more secluded spots in the park where a small woodland has been allowed to keep its hold and continue to grow wild, to an extent. The woodland and public pathways would come to meet at the edge of a lake in the center of the park which, by far, would be a dominant feature of the area with a small island in its center that was covered in thick undergrowth and trees. All in all, the park could be considered to be easily half a mile in diameter and always seemed to attract the newcomers to the city within their first few days of visiting.
