A suspicious woman lives in the village.
Starshard Village, a remote island town. It was once a place that shone brilliantly like a shard of a star, but at some point, it lost its fame and was being forgotten. However, Sleepground, a graduate of the magic academy, came to this village and opened the Milky Way General Store, restoring its reputation. While dark mages face heavy oppression, Rader is a special case who is permitted because he supplies goods to the royal family. Most long-distance travel is done via sky carriages.
