Lurelin Village

Lurelin Village is a seaside village located on the coast of the Faron Region of Hyrule. It is surrounded by tropical palm trees and steep cliffs that overshadow it. The architecture here consists of simple wooden huts. The inhabitants of this village are Hylians with dark skin and many make a living as humble fishermen. Though they also raise Hateno Cows, their economy is primarily geared towards fishing.   Rozel is apparently the village elder as he is a seasoned fisherman who has retired due to his old age and spends his days standing at the pier with the Raft in the village, though takes refuge in the hut he shares with Numar when it rains and sleeps in his hut at night. He will tell travellers about various points of interest in and around the village. There are people originally from Lurelin Village who have moved away such as Rozel's daughter Ralera, who moved to Hateno Village after marrying her husband Rhodes, a miller from Hateno Village. Travellers can also encounter a treasure hunter named Regan who left Lurelin Village in order to seek his fortune inland by scavenging ruined carts in various places across Hyrule such as Atun Valley though can also be encountered in certain areas of Hyrule Field, refusing to return to the village until he strikes it rich so he can return to rub his fortune in the other villager's faces, though often has to be rescued from monsters as he foolishly travels around without weapons or a shield. Hailing from Lurelin Village, the traveling merchant Chumin travels with his beloved Donkey back and forth from Lurelin Village to Sarjon Woods selling fruit and seafood that come straight from Lurelin Village.   As it is a Fishing Village, Boat Oars, Fishing Harpoons, and Fisherman's Shields are commonly found in the village. Boat Oars can be found in and around the boats in the area, while three Fishing Harpoons can be found with roasting Porgy over a Campfire near two of the village docks.   Kiana and her husband Sebasto live in the village with their two children Kinov and Zuta in two huts with a Cooking Pot in-between them.   TRavellers can also find Garini, a young villager who liked to look for nearby ruins.   The Gerudo, Flavi came to the seaside village all the way from Gerudo Town in search of treasure and has taken an interest in Eventide Island in the Necluda Sea east of the village. Rozel will tell travellers about Eventide Island.   Like most villages, it has a statue of Hylia on the beach on the westside of the Inn. There is also a Treasure Chest Shop in the village run by Cloyne. Numar and Armes are known to sometimes gamble there and it is implied that gambling is a pastime among the village's fisherman, though some like Numar have developed a gambling habit which may leave them broke as he often borrows money from people promising to reimburse them if he wins. Rozel, who lives with Numar warns travellers not to gamble too much though notes that a little gambling is okay but one should know when to quit. Mubs runs the Merchant Boat General Store on a pier south of the Fishing Resort Inn, which is run by Chessica.   Most of the village's huts are built around palm trees, presumably to give them extra stability as the village is occasionally beset by tropical storms. The Treasure Chest Shop and Inn also feature a boat-like design and are much larger.   Tuft Mountain, located west of the village is a popular tourist destination especially among people looking for love as the heart-shaped pond on the mountain known as Lover's Pond is said to be a place where one can meet their soul mate. The pond is famous among the Gerudo as Ashai has a map picture depicting the pond on the chalkboard in her classroom in Gerudo Town. Traysi wrote her first Rumor Mill article about Lover's Pond which can be found at Enchanted in Kakariko Village. Numar even notes people climbing up Tuft Mountain and wonders if any of them have found love there, indicating the legend of Lover's Pond is well known among the villagers. However, some people mistake the broken heart-shaped pond on Ebon Mountain near Hateno Village for Lover's Pond. The main road that lead in and out of the village lead into Atun Valley.     It is suggested that Lurelin Village has relations with Hateno Village due to them having a history of fishing in Hateno Bay and Zora's Domain via the Lanayru Sea presumably providing them both with seafood and Porgy they catch as Hateno Villagers are farmers and Hyrulean Zora generally prefer to live and fish in freshwater even though they can tolerate saltwater.
