11Overview22Springtide Mill is a watermill located south of Hernand in Pywel. It is the primary production site for grain flour in the region, and its high output makes it a distribution hub where merchants from various areas come to trade.44By the time Kliff arrives, the mill and its surroundings have become contested territory due to Bleed Bandit activity. The bandits have taken control of the floodgate and bridge, disrupting the water flow that powers the mill and causing the entire town to suffer. The mill is the starting point for a chain of connected quests in Chapter 2.77Location Details99PropertyValueRegionHernandPositionSouth of HernandTypeIndustrial Site / Quest HubSub-AreasNotice BoardConnected ToBloomwood Ranch (nearby)1111Geography and Atmosphere1212Springtide Mill sits along a waterway that powers the mill's grinding mechanisms.
