On the border of the forest and the tatters sits a quaint little cottage where Budge and his allies have made their home. Perched high atop the trees, a blue phowl gazes contentedly over the landscape. He takes note of you cooly, but doesn't come down from his perch to address you.

Hawthorne: "Greetings, traveler! You are now in my domain, safe from the common people as well as the tatters. Under my rule, you will be well looked after so long as you sing your adoration and worship to me~ Make yourself comfortable and say hello to Budge for me."
