Large Wooden Table in Castrovalva Town Square

A substantial oak table occupies the town square’s center, its thick planks worn smooth by decades of communal use. Scratches and shallow knife marks scar its surface, evidence of generations of meals shared under Castrovalva’s rigid customs. A few chipped mugs and a wooden trencher of local bread await the Doctor, placed there by the villagers as a fragile gesture of hospitality. The table’s heavy legs anchor it to the cobblestones despite the unsettling stillness of its surroundings.
