This server-side addon introduces a flexible, YAML-driven guidance system for Valheim. Server operators can author custom quests, compose NPC conversations, and configure triggered popups entirely through readable YAML files. All interactions are presented using the game's built-in UI, so clients do not need any additional art or UI assets. Running server-authoritatively ensures content is consistent for every player and controlled centrally from the server, making it well suited for roleplay servers, guided campaigns, or event scripting. The lightweight design focuses on simple authoring and deployment: edit YAML definitions, load them on the server, and players will experience the new guidance without extra client-side installs.
