Omega 0.90.4

Star View is the northeastern village of LOCUS, at world coordinate (56, 5). Its Lawstone offers an increase to maximum Constitution, and nearby Star Peak gives its location particular relevance to lawful adventurers.

Service identities at x are shuffled; identify the actual shop in your game. Population and supplies can change on re-entry. The stone position and terrain layout are fixed.

Arrival and services

The countryside road ends at Star View. Arrival is at village coordinate (0, 6), among four western exits at x=0, y=4-7. The village has all five shared village services, placed among 24 possible doorways.

Fixed feature	Village position or count
Lawstone	(61, 13), southeastern corner
Merchant	(37, 3)
Horses	Three, in the northern stable area
Grain sites	Six, each initially holding ten grain objects
Guardsmen	Eleven

Two concealed sirens lie among the northern grain stores, at (46, 1) and (48, 1). Six sheep also occupy the commons area.

Lawstone

The blue-green feldspar stele draws attention toward Star Peak to the northeast. Touching it begins or continues the attribute-stone cycle. Lawful alignment accelerates its progress, but neither lawful alignment nor a visit guarantees a beneficial result. The cosmic glow raises maximum Constitution by up to ten, capped at 30 unless already higher; current Constitution is unchanged.

Strategy

Star View is a useful supply stop near Star Peak, not a guarantee that the peak is safe. Find its healer and tavern before working with the Lawstone: the cycle can cause disease, reduce HP to one, destroy a backpack or teleport you away. The merchant and grain provide a possible route to a mount, but crossing the granary alarms can turn a provisioning trip into a fight.

Return through the western exits. A new outdoor visit rebuilds the village, while the Lawstone retains its progress; see revisiting villages.
