Wisenwood Domain

Wisenwood Domain

• 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.

Communities

• Wisenwood Town, Small Town. Seat of House Wisent.

Features

• Wisenwood: The Wisenwood is a small wood that once entirely surrounded Wisenwood Town, but trails and other construction have basically split it into two smaller woods. These woods are heavy elm and oak, with the occasional weirwood in their midst.
