Criclawe Haven
In a way that is rather fitting, all truth be told, there are in fact three different Havens which reside around and within the Three Valleys. Each has their benefits, depending on one's route and desires. Yet for the average traveler heading down towards the Kettier Highlands or, more likely, Galdin Quay, Criclawe is that which they will grow familiar with first.
This is thanks to Criclawe's position being nearest to the main road rather than the roads used primarily by the Leide locals. With many paths from that road leading to it, it acts as a fine waypoint for your average driver needing to make a quick stop. Additionally, in a similar manner as Cotisse, some find it a reassuring first attempt in camping on their own. Granted, Cotisse is far closer. Criclawe's benefit comes with the view. At night, a person may even be able to glimpse the shadow of diners slipping into Takka's for a late supper, or travelers resupplying in the general shop. This, too, is a form of security for some new campers.
There is no need to be jealous of such meals. Cricawe holds the benefit of rather fine natural harvests of its own right. Leiden potatoes are often not too far a jaunt from the Haven itself, and are incredibly versatile whether boiled, mashed, or stewed. If one is longing for the food of Hammerhead, it is easy enough to slice and fry them. Those equipped to handle the local pest population of Sabretooths may come upon further delicious finds, with birdbeasts hiding their eggs within the particular valley Criclawe rests upon.
It is not only food stores that find themselves enriched by delving into the valley. Keen eyed adventurers are likely to find mineral deposits rich with bounty to gather, and it is quite likely that they will also stumble upon a treasure or two left behind by the daemons long since banished by the sun's rays, or even adventurers of the past.
If one takes my advice to fry up some Leiden potatoes, then I have heard nothing but compliments in regards to serving them alongside what is colloquially known as the cannedwich. Luncheon meat, when sliced very thickly and fried, soaks in neatly on slices of Cleigne wheat. The secret is that right after you have fried the meat, you should use that very same pan to make your fries, and, once garnished with salt, they will stand out from the average cut legume. Enjoy them both with a wonderful view of Longwythe Peak - something both Cotisse and Hammerhead lack.
The fries are a fine thing indeed, for if you have perhaps recently bothered the chef beyond reason, then those delicious fries may be all you receive, and that is truly a pity.

chocobro: sry
fishfearme: sorry. also thanks for giving me half of your cannedwich.
womenwantme: LOL and LMAO. Anyway, while this literally on the beaten path, it's far enough from the main road that you can feel a peaceful sense of detachment sitting there in the early morning, taking in the smell of good food alongside good company. Almost more than the view of Longwythe Peak (which isn't the best in the area, in my opinion), watching the mesmenir get a head start on grazing is the nicest way to wake up. I'll allow this ranking. ★★★✩✩
