The Villagers
When you first arrive in the Lost Valley you'll find that the area is generally abandoned. You will find Rowan the Harvest Sprite and the other magical beings that live in the Goddess Spring at the top of the mountain, but no normal human people. The first actual person you'll meet is Sam the traveling merchant.
As your progress through the game's storyline, you will naturally unlock more villagers. They heard a rumor about a new person living in the Lost Valley and have stopped by to investigate. The villagers live down the path in the town of Hillsville, which you can never access, as your task is to live in the valley. Each day you'll find a variety of villagers either in front of your house, wandering the valley, hanging out in the Moon Valley cave, or resting at the Goddess Spring at night.
Increasing your Chemistry with the villagers will unlock their fetch requests. Some of the villagers can be persuaded to marry you, at which time the person will move into the farm house with you permanently. When it is a villager's birthday, he or she will be in the Lost Valley so you can give him or her a happy birthday greeting.
