# 👋 Welcome to EquestriCraft

Welcome to EquestriCraft!

When you first join the server, you will arrive in the beautiful city of **Vyheimer, Ventura**. Take a little time to look around, explore the area, and get familiar with the city before starting your journey.

If you are ready to begin progressing, speak to the **Captain** to start your quests. Quests are one of the most important early-game systems and are the best way to begin earning XP, learning the world, and unlocking progression.
