Follow the road

You arrive at the city of Lakeford

This city is built in a fertile valley, close to a river and a lake full of resources.
The clean cobblestone streets connect the main houses with the markets, the stables, the temples, and other big structures.
The air smells like woodsmoke and herbs, mingling with the distant sound of bells.

Once in the town, you can go to the main noble house and ask for help, go to the stables to find some transport, or go to the magic tower and try your luck with the wizard.
Also, a small piece of paper materializes in mid-air. The paper hovers, suspended by unseen hands. It's an invitation for... your birthday???
