The Farms of Dioya

“I swear to Aartrops, some of them are the stupidest folks in Dioya, but without them every King, Queen, Scholar, and Cleric would starve. For this, they are greater than any BiDivine or any ruler.” -Siraq the Scathing



FARMS OF MIDVAIL:

The farms of Midvail, called The Family Farms, The Fall Farms (based on the autumnal coloration of many of the fields during harvest) The Middle Realm Farms, and the Hairless Farms (A name generally uttered by the Beastial races of The Clansplains) are the large stretches of owned land that supply food to most of Midvail. As of the Era of Change, approximately 33% of the land of Midvail was used as farmland owned by just over 20 different farming families and companies.
The history of the farms of Midvail are varied, inconsistent, and full of absurd narratives treated as truth. Some farms, like the Tantivire Skith Family farm are wealthy and abundant, with a rich history that spans across the Eras of Dioya. Others, like the Grimm Family Farm of north-east Gaia are small with only a hand full of employees and a small amount of crops.
Most of the Farms of Midvail are surround the larger cities they directly supply, such as the Family Farms of Hearthfield and the farms of the kingdom of Chilved, Tantivire, Brevia, Tolthe, and Glenarm. Though they are within proximity of full villages, towns, and cities, the Farms of Midvail are fairly remote, with owners and workers generally keeping to themselves and most workers living on location. Larger farms such as the Summerheart farms of Hearthfield employ workers from the area of the city of Thicket. The Farms of Midvail are hardly influenced by the cultures of the cities they provide to, but the influence they have on the cities are clear and noticeable. The Farms of Midvail dictate the diets of the cities and thus, have a tremendous amount of power and prominence despite their distance.



At the start of the Era of Change, a scholar from the Hearthfield school of Business named Siraq the Scathing toured Midvail with the intent to document the populations, exports, and all around general information of every farm in Midvail. This task took him 6 years to complete and Siraq published “The Investor’s Guide to the Farms and other Downtrotten respites of Midvail.” The document is comprehensive and the only one of its kind in existence, as of The Great Disturbance, but it’s hardly unbiased, with each of the entries including digs at the owners. The Investor’s Guide was a great success for Siraq, but ultimately resulted in his death at the hands of a member of the Grigham family who did not take kindly to the insinuation that “Their Goliath berry pickers crush half of their produce with their unwashed hands.”

Some of the illustrated farms are as follows: The largest of the Midvail farms grow:
