Otter Creek
“Make something.”
The lodge of creativity & joy
Every Wayfinder chooses a lodge, and every lodge walks every path. This is Otter Creek.
Life in Otter Creek
Otters work in a creekside workshop on stilts, full of string, sticks and half-built rafts. If it floats by, an Otter can make something with it.
Pip: An otter who builds something new every day out of whatever floats by.
Home: A creekside workshop on stilts.
The Lantern Cup
Finished quests and kind deeds earn lodge points, and each season one lodge lifts the Lantern Cup. Season one begins when Glyphwood opens, and Founding Families will light the first lanterns.
