With the Hall of Records built and agriculture research underway, the settlement feels more alive than ever. But there's a problem—too few hands.
We've got warriors. A builder. A sage. Even resource teams.
But we don't have people. Ordinary folks. Villagers who'll live here, grow families, tend to crops, and keep this place running.
So, I open the summoning menu.

Not combat-capable.

Summoning: 6 Villagers

A soft light glows on the center of the settlement. Then six figures appear, dazed but whole. Two men, three women, and a young teen who looks barely old enough to swing a hammer.
They stumble, glance around, and then their eyes settle on me.
I speak gently. "Welcome. This land is yours now. Work, live, grow—build something worth remembering."

[Villagers Summoned]
Alric – a carpenter's son with quiet determination
Marra – a soft-spoken woman with a keen sense for herbs
Tennel – a broad-shouldered man who immediately asks about farming
Sera – calm, composed, and already organizing supplies
Kota – young and fast, volunteering to help wherever needed
Brin – old, wise, and always watching
---
They scatter quickly. Sera begins setting up food storage. Tennel joins Lira in gathering. Alric goes to Mira, learning the basics of building. Marra sits with Elder Magnus, talking about seeds. Kota runs to help unload logs. Brin leans on a staff and watches them all with a silent smile.
