S'warkii

"This is S'warkii, home to a clan of hunters that has lived in the Darkwood since times of yore." —Villager at S'warkii's entrance

S'warkii is a major town in Octopath Traveler, located within the Woodlands. The town borders the Frostlands to the east and the Cliftlands to the southwest. The town serves as the starting point to the story of H'aanit, who is a master hunter and one of the last descendants of the ancient clan. S'warkii is embedded within the thick brush of the Woodlands and is considered rather isolated from the outside world.

DescriptionEdit

An isolated village within the lush forests of the Woodlands, S'warkii is the home to a clan of hunters that have lived in the Darkwood since times of yore. The hunters live in harmony with nature, taming the beasts of the forest alongside hunting dangerous beasts. The hunters of the village are led by Master Z'aanta. The village is small in comparison to other towns, with modest wooden cabins. Outsiders are typically not allowed in the village. The villagers speak in a curious Shakespearean accent.

Despite its small size, S'warkii still contains a Tavern, Armorer, Provisioner, and Inn.
