The last weeks of Reapingdusk saw the start of a wave of famine and pestilence started by a Vampire Lord named Zaria from House Amphelise. Thankfully, Zaria was destroyed at the beginning of Boneharvest, so the famine was not as widespread as it could have been. Unfortunately, that still means that many of the storehouses in the cities in the South Farthings and the Fiddlehead Hills have been affected. The winter has seen families suffering from starvation and entire communities have been abandoned as their inhabitants seek places that can offer them solace. However, a small township located in the South Farthings has provided a glimmer of hope for the starving people of this area. The farmers of the town of Elmerton have reported a record harvest for this year and have gladly opened their own storehouses and homes to help those in need.
This relatively obscure farm town has proven to be a blessing for the kingdom, as well as an unexpected diamond-in-the-rough. Those who have taken grains, baked goods, and fruits from Elmerton’s farms have described them as the juiciest, most flavorful, and most filling foods they have ever had! And though Elmerton’s farmers are seeing more business than they have in years, most of them do not seem to be overly worried about the prospect of running out of food. They are, for the most part, happy to be able to help- something their harsh winters and “unique” situations don’t usually allow them to do.
Elmerton, the South Farthings are grateful and wish you the best in the upcoming planting season!
