[edit] Easterwood

To the west of Bartleby is Easterwood, an even smaller town, more a hamlet than anything else; it is equally picturesque, and extremely quiet and low-key. It mostly consists of one major intersection where a handful of businesses are located, and the northern stretch of road coming off that intersection features a long trail of farmer's markets (when seasonal) and antique shops (year-round). The shops include The Magpie's Loft (very ramshackle, with one wall covered in mirrors), and A Bowl of Lilacs (rather mysterious and dimly lit, described by Sappho as "like a fairytale apothecary shop, or an alchemist's").
