The majority of the manors in the Wisenwood domain are simple barley farmers and cattle herders. The vast majority of them are simply collections of farms around a central square (often with a well for those estates that do not abut a source of easy water), without a proper manor house. Truth be told, it isn't entirely necessary - the Lord's Demesne is maintained in each estate, without much fuss. Of course, several of these are of a size where they might need a manor and someone to watch over them in a generation or so.

Wisenwood Domain
wisenwood-domain.png
  • Terrain: Plains
  • Features: Small Town, Road

The majority of the manors in the Wisenwood domain are simple barley farmers and cattle herders. The vast majority of them are simply collections of farms around a central square (often with a well for those estates that do not abut a source of easy water), without a proper manor house. Truth be told, it isn't entirely necessary - the Lord's Demesne is maintained in each estate, without much fuss. Of course, several of these are of a size where they might need a manor and someone to watch over them in a generation or so.
