📚 Glossary

A pressed and labeled collection of Fairhaven’s terms of art — the words you’ll meet in town chatter, coven meetings, and every other page of this field guide.

🏝️ Places

Fairhaven: The seaside island town where the game takes place — farm, town square, woods, beach, mountain, and stranger places besides. Tour it in Map of Fairhaven.
Wylde Farm: Your grandmother Hazel’s farm, inherited into your care. Home base for farming and much of the story.
The Gloaming: A twilight otherworld reachable only by magic, where the coven gathers rare ritual ingredients such as Dragon’s Blood.
Coven Circle: The hidden gathering place where the coven meets and casts its rituals — including the season-turning ones (Spells & Rituals).
Ravenwood Hollow: (spoiler-adjacent) A hidden community of magical folk revealed later in the story, added in a free update. Home of Westley Vuk and his bookshop. See Map — spoiler-marked there.

🔮 Witchcraft

The Coven: Fairhaven’s secret circle of witches, hiding in plain sight among the townsfolk. Tara joins early in the story (Introduction to Witchcraft).
High Priestess: The coven’s leader — Lina Dahl-Johnson, who also runs the Dahl General Store.
Elder: A senior, venerated member of the coven; Hazel Wylde holds this honor.
Incantation: The spoken formula that powers a spell or ritual — e.g. the Spring Ritual Incantation that turns winter to spring.
Season Ritual: The coven ceremony, cast at the coven circle, that is the only way seasons change. You gather offerings; you choose when to cast (Energy, Time & Seasons).
The Wellspring: The deep source of the island’s magic, tended by the coven. The story orbits it; this glossary won’t say more. 🌙
Spirit Flame: A brewed ritual component the seasonal rites require — the classic recipe wants distilled ore essence and powdered seashell (Potions).
Keeper of the Wheel: The role Tara later assumes: steward of the turning seasons, making offerings to the Wellspring so the ritual can proceed.
Familiar: A witch’s animal companion. Fairhaven’s cats warrant a second look — see Familiars.
Potion: Brewed magic in a bottle, from the cauldron (Potions).

🏘️ Town Life

League of the Conscious Mind: Cameron Conner’s society of skeptics and rationalists, headquartered in the Town Center — a running counterweight to the island’s quiet magic.
To-Do Quests (Bulletins): Small requests from neighbors — grow this, cook that, deliver the other. Steady coins, steady goodwill, and the subject of two achievements.
Relationship Values: The friendship measure tracked for roughly thirty residents, raised by chatting, gifting, and quests (Friendship).
Romanceables: The eight residents Tara can court and marry (Romance).

🌾 Farming & Craft

Garden Bed: A tilled plot on the farm where crops grow — water daily, harvest before the season turns, because out-of-season crops disappear (Crops).
Greenhouse: Sheltered growing space — the indoor answer to seasonal limits on what you can cultivate.
Crafting Station: Any of the farm’s processing machines — loom, candle maker, glass kiln, cheese press and kin — that turn raw goods into pricier artisan goods.
Artisan Goods: Processed products (cloth, candles, cheese…) that sell for more than their ingredients — the backbone of the Money-Making Guide.
Beehive: Produces honey and beeswax — as long as flowers are left blooming nearby to feed the bees (Bees & Orchards).

flowers you don’t pick are still working — for the bees ❀

Lore aside: notice how many of these words are shared between the mundane town and the magical one — Fairhaven’s whole story lives in that overlap.

sign-off tip: when a quest or letter uses a term you don’t know, it’s probably pressed somewhere in this book — start here ❀
