Gardens & villages

Spring reaches every field except one orchard. Its caretaker blames a sleeping tree spirit; a dry channel suggests a more practical secret.

A lighthouse shines among the trees. Migrating birds circle it instead of finding their river, while its keeper insists the light saved a lost child.

The great oven fades before the winter fair. Four dry fuel bundles must cover the shelter and whichever meal you choose.

An orchard has folded like a paper map. Familiar paths meet at impossible angles, and a seed cart waits inside a crease while the keeper’s map shows a route nobody has walked.

A magical canal can carry sealed invitations to three hill gardens before rain flattens its paper boats. Four sheets and two lengths of twine decide how many arrive today.
