Ior is the dutiful but occasionally clueless dragon guardian of Ferevale, devoted entirely to the valley's restoration. He's lived here since Ferevale was a thriving town, but has been in a deep sleep for an unknown length of time and can't remember much about his experiences before that. Ior is convinced that the otherworldly visitors are the key to healing his wounded homeland, and he's fully prepared to meddle in their lives as needed to keep them happy, healthy, and producing Amity Seeds. Ior can be found wandering the village outskirts on all clear-weather days, unless otherwise noted, from sunup to sundown. He returns to his cave near Luzula Hill when it gets dark.
Loves: Love Crystal, Seafood Pizza
Likes: Shrimp, Sardine, Squid, Lobster, all Crystals

Ciaran is a dark elf, and the doctor of Ferevale. At first glance he is very unnerving and blunt to the point he can be considered rude, and makes it a point not to coddle others no matter what. When you pass out and are brought to his clinic you'll be sure to get a good chewing out, no matter if he's just met you or you're a good friend to him. Like most dark elves he is bound by honour and duty, which is the reason for his workaholic nature. Most of his time is spent on his job instead of getting out and having fun, so he can normally be found in the clinic at all hours, if he isn't there he's probably gathering ingredients for remedies and medicines. Loves: Wine, Hot-Hot Fruit, Figs Likes: Herbs, Coloured Grass, Weeds, Mushrooms, Vegetables and Fruits. Dislikes: Sweet dishes, Failed dishes. Hates: Milk. | ||

Ida's service and the General Store are the economic anchor of Ferevale, but commerce within the village is not restricted whatsoever. This post is an OOC record of all shops and services, NPC- or PC-run, that are currently open for business in Ferevale.

CROP NOTES:
GENERAL NOTES:
- A crop will only grow in the season or seasons listed. If the season turns to one it cannot tolerate, it will stop producing and will slowly wither away.FORAGE NOTES:
- Crops grown in seasonal dungeons will ignore the outside cycle of seasons - useful for crops with long growing times or which can be reharvested indefinitely.
- Crops that can be repeatedly harvested have a regrowth period of anywhere from one to five days, depending on the size of the fruit or vegetable being regrown and the health of the soil.
- Seeds can be collected from harvested crops, by any method appropriate to the plant being grown. They will be of slightly better quality than store-bought seeds, and each successive generation grown in Ferevale will increase the durability, size, and quality of the grown crop.
GENERAL NOTES:
- The money system in Retornen is not enforced, and we don't provide these item stats with the expectation that players will keep track of character finances to the penny. The numbers on this page are for general reference, and should mainly be used for flavor while RPing and to check the relative worth of commodities in Ferevale.
- Item prices and crop stats are mostly taken from Rune Factory 4, with some alterations and additions to fit Retornen's needs. The farming and resource systems take elements from Rune Factory 4, Rune Factory 3, and Rune Factory Frontier. Flavor text is a mixture of in-game descriptions, real-world information, and good old making things up.
- Retornen's (and Rune Factory's) farming system doesn't even remotely reflect reality. This is on purpose - the reason is magic - and is not an abstraction. The plants in Ferevale literally grow that fast. Feel free to take notice.

Want to apply for a character but need a bit of time? Place a reservation notice here and you'll have one week to put in your application for that character. During that one week no one else will be able to apply for that character aside from you. And the end of the week you may ask for an extension of one more week if necessary, but we will not go above that.
Please note also that a reservation is not necessary to apply.

In a faraway place...
In a faraway time...
Earthmates preserved the connection between the people and the land.
With their magic, they communicated with rune spirits and coaxed all manner of crops from the soil.
With their power, they could tame the wildest monsters or send their souls flying away, back to the Forest of Beginnings from which all monsters emerge.
Even now, there are Earthmates in the world. Though their power is diminished, they walk with the spirits of the earth to this very day.
...
...A good friend once told me that, long ago.
But this land is...
With this land as it is now, can you believe in a story like that?
Welcome to Retornen! This is a comm-based, slice-of-life RP set in the rural fantasy RPG setting of the Rune Factory video game series. Characters will live, work, and adventure together in a valley teeming with magic and monsters, helping to rebuild and revitalize a once-thriving town. No network. Non-standard IC calendar. Memory loss optional. Exploration and survival elements present. Opportunities for both civilian and combatant characters to influence the setting.
We hope to see you soon!
