Raithin

Raithin is a fictional settlement appearing in the fantasy novel "The Dragon's Legacy" by author Elara Vance. Located in the northern region of the kingdom of Eldoria, Raithin is a small, self-sufficient village known for its skilled woodcutters and hardy inhabitants. The village is situated on the edge of the Whisperwood, a dense and ancient forest that provides both its livelihood and a constant source of local folklore and tales of mystery.

The primary industry in Raithin revolves around timber harvesting and the crafting of wooden goods, which are then traded in larger towns. The community is close-knit, with traditions passed down through generations. Its remote location has historically kept it somewhat isolated from the political machinations of the Eldorian court, though this isolation is challenged with the unfolding events in the novel. The architecture of Raithin is simple and functional, primarily consisting of timber-framed houses and a central communal hall. The surrounding landscape is characterized by rolling hills, winding rivers, and the imposing presence of the Whisperwood, which often features in the daily lives and superstitions of the villagers.
