Where does A Dream of Motherhood start?

In the Village of Lu, during Heartless Remnants. The weaver is in a house in the area furthest southeast of the village center. Fextralife identifies it by the red banners on the front and SoloJugadores by the signs on the door. To get there, Vandal (Spanish guide) says to jump down to the riverbed under the main bridge that leads to the Well of the Three Puppets, climb the slope to the east and keep going south. Talk to her to accept the tale.

Vandal says the tale gives no reward. Fextralife and SoloJugadores do list the Mother’s Talisman, and it is the tale’s puppet that drops it.

Missable

No source sets a deadline of its own. But Vandal says that when you close The Heart’s Trail, in Pangzhen, only five tales can remain open, and this is not one of them. Finish it before leaving the Village of Lu. You have the other cut-off points in the area order.
