Play for a few days, and you'll witness a cutscene upon entering town. Check the community center, which until that point will have been locked, and you'll discover a golden piece of paper. You can't read it, but that's fine. Go home and catch some sleep, and in the morning you'll find that you now have a message from a wizard. You'll find him in a tower, located to the south of your farm. Make a visit and you'll gain the ability to read scrolls located in the community center building. They outline quests that you can complete for various rewards, including some terrific stuff further down the road.
