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.

Estates

• Aderly: Type: Husbandry; Households: 27 (4 Craftsman, 12 Farmers, 11 Cottars); Manor: Aderly Manor; Craftsmen: Miller, Charcoaler, Metalsmith, Tanner.
  • A major cattle center, Aderly is one of the few Wisenwood estates to have a proper manor on it. Aderly Manor overlooks Aderly Pond, a major watering hole for the herds of cattle in Aderly. It is currently held by a retired captain of the Bulls named Mowbry, a man originally from Aderly.
• Bannock: Type: Agriculture; Households: 27 (4 Craftsman, 14 Farmers, 9 Cottars); Manor: None; Craftsmen: Innkeep, Miller, Metalsmith, Timberwright.
  • The largest fields of barley in Wisenwood are found in Bannock Place and its neighboring West Bannock. Bannock is verging on a size where it will certainly need a manor and someone to oversee it directly soon; its current Reeve is overworked. It hosts an inn called the Sheaf & Bullock.
• Donnershire: Type: Agriculture; Households: 20 (2 Craftsman, 13 Farmers, 5 Cottars); Manor: None; Craftsmen: Miller, Metalsmith.
  • An oats-and-wheat farming community.

  • A small crossroads croft, Tarmon is noteworthy because of the Tarmon Tree - a massive petrified weirwood that stands in the center of the croft's square. It also bears a fair-sized manor house in the center of the estate, known as Crossroads House. Tarmon's crofters are orchardsmen who tend the pear trees of the area.
• Waverly: Type: Agriculture; Households: 35 (5 Craftsman, 17 Farmers, 13 Cottars); Manor: Waverly House; Craftsmen: Innkeep, Metalsmith, Salter, Woodcrafter, Miller.
  • A mile down the road from Wisenwood Town, Waverly probably sees more traffic than any of the other estates. As a result, it is known for the Waverly Inn. Waverly's extensive fields grow all manner of hearty local grains.
