At the entrance, there isn't the typical wooden gate of a village; instead, layers of ancient runes emitting a faint glow replace it. They are interwoven in shades of turquoise and silver white. Some snake around the edges like serpents, while others radiate like starbursts. Dense yet not chaotic, they exude an ancient and mysterious aura.
