Greensly Farm

Homestead in Aethier
Population: 3
100% Aetherian
Settled a few years ago.
Nestled in the remote reaches of Aethir, beyond rolling hills and beneath an endless sky, lies Greensly Farm, a testament to hard-won peace. Just a few years ago, Raudric Greensly staked his claim on this fertile ground. He knew the risks—the distant goblins of the Buggers’ Clan were a constant, nagging threat, and any travel to town was a solitary trek. Yet, the land’s bounty of grains, fruits, and livestock, sustained by an almost mythical underground river, was worth the gamble. He also knew the legacy; a mere century ago, this very soil drank the blood of a great battle, a pivotal clash that forged the Aetherian kingdom the inhabitants now called home. Every sunset, as the Old Man of the West cast its long shadow, they were reminded of both the rich history beneath their feet and the promise of a future they were building, one harvest at a time.

History
Though Greensly Farm was settled only a few years ago, the land itself is steeped in history. A great battle was fought here just a century prior, a pivotal conflict that ultimately paved the way for the current kingdom of Aethir to flourish. While settling these lands can be dangerous, the rich soil and strategic location make it a worthwhile endeavor for those brave enough to stake their claim.
Resources
Generally speaking, the men of Greensly Farm are engaged in a diversified agricultural approach. They grow a variety of grains and fruits, cultivating the fertile plains to provide staple crops. In addition to their crops, they also raise goats and swine, utilizing these animals for both their meat and other valuable resources.
Food
The Greensly Farm boasts a plentiful bounty of corn, barley, and wheat, more than enough to sustain the men and provide a surplus. Beyond the staple grains, they cultivate their own herbs and vegetables for daily consumption, and the farm is further enriched by the presence of both apple and lemon trees, offering a sweet and tangy harvest.
Strategic
The strategic heart of Greensly Farm lies in its abundant water supply. The wellsprings in this land are renowned for their plentiful flow, a testament to the life-giving essence below. It’s even whispered that a great waterway runs beneath the wide land, an unseen, underground river that ensures the fertile plains remain verdant and productive.
Imports
The men of Greensly Farm make a monthly journey to town by wagon to stock up on provisions. They operate independently, as no caravan travels out this way, meaning they’re entirely on their own for acquiring necessary supplies.
Features
Landmarks
Westward, roughly two miles distant, a towering stone sentinel rises from the landscape, a natural beacon for miles around. It’s not just a rock; it’s the Old Man of the West, a colossal monolith weathered by millennia of wind and rain. Its craggy peaks are often wreathed in mist at dawn, and at sunset, it casts a long, indigo shadow that stretches across the plains like a giant’s arm. Travelers and locals alike use its unmistakable silhouette to guide their way, a silent, ancient guardian standing watch over the land.
Local Ecology
The plains give way to the south, where rocky hillsides organically blend into the landscape, providing ample stone for building. Though timber is sparse, what little there is has consistently sufficed for construction.
Adversaries
Far in the distance, the hills are home to roaming goblins. While this land is generally peaceful, there’s always the possibility of trouble stirring from the Buggers’ Clan. They’re known for their mischievous—and sometimes malevolent—antics, so it’s wise to keep a watchful eye toward those distant peaks.
