Nightingale's excellent introduction will see you travel across a trio of small worlds, Byways, as your guide Puck teaches you how to survive. After completing his very simple missions, you'll be able to hop into the next one. Since these worlds are fleeting, and you need to complete them before you can reach the meat of the game and start building your estate, you'll probably be eager to blast through them. But you shouldn't.
Puck's quests will see you learn how to cook, craft, build and kill, before he decides you're ready to put down some roots. What he doesn't do, but really should, is encourage you to explore the Byways. Indeed, you can complete most of your objectives by barely moving from the spot you appear in, but if you go for a nosy around on your own initiative you'll be rewarded.
