Goldenfields
Goldenfields, nicknamed the the Granary of the North, was a walled abbey to Chauntea of spectacular scope and size. It was the most prolific provider of crops, grains and fruits to the people of the North.
The walled temple-complex featured a small town of several dozen longhouses, an abbey, an inn, a brewery and the vast farms, orchards and gardens for which Goldenfields was famous.

Defences
The lands around Goldenfields were well patrolled by well-armed Chauntean priests.
The complex was encircled by a massive wall constructed from mortared stone. It was 60 feet (18 meters) tall from the outside, 20 feet (6.1 meters) tall from the elevated inside, and 30 feet (9.1 meters) wide nearly all around. Stone towers and barracks were constructed on the walls, about 1 to 2 miles (1.6 to 3.2 kilometers) apart from one another.
Industry & Trade
The vast farms of Goldenfields grew a number of grains including rice, corn, barley and hops. It had apple and orange orchards along with a number of herb and vegetable gardens. The latter of these cultivated a number of root vegetables including carrots, onions, potatoes and others such as tomatoes and squash.
It featured a number of livestock paddocks where oxen and cattle were allowed to graze. Smaller pens housed sheep, pigs, turkey and chickens.
Goldenfields provided much of the food consumed in Waterdeep and the neighboring settlements, but did not seek payment in return. They donated this food to others in honor of Chauntea.
