Over time, the safety of the hamlet and its sunlit charm attracted more settlers. The town grew, but its leaders took great care to ensure Sunhaven retained its harmony with nature. Buildings were constructed around trees instead of cutting them down, and streets were paved in a way that did not disturb the roots of the ancient trees.
