Felderwin
This area was originally settled by the halfling Felder clan many centuries ago, and the community has always valued the simple, grounded life of a farmer. The exceedingly fertile soil surrounding Felderwin is known throughout the Five Nations, and the best farmers and students of agriculture in the land have settled here. As such, the agricultural skills taught in Felderwin are second to none. Many of the farming communities of Aundair look for new ranch hands who learned from Felderwin teachers.
Some family bloodlines have tilled the earth for as long as Felderwin has existed and fiercely guard their plots against any incursion - be it from other farmers, local goblins, or drow from the Underdark. Nomadic goblin camps moving along the northern coast often encroach in the dark of night during harvest time.
Farmhead Led
Without Felderwin, Gatherhold, Korth, and Grimgolir would surely starve. Recognizing the importance of Felderwin's fertile fields, the farming families select a leader from the local community to become the Farmhead, the local leader. The current Farmhead, Theanor Whisperthin, has served the community for over thirty years and is doing his best to maintain order following the fall of the Wynarn Empire and the War of the Five Nations.Triangular Town
This rustic settlement is home to the only farming community in the Talenta Plains. Felderwin is built around three small hubs, each surrounding a communal gathering site called a Hall, which gives the settlement a roughly triangular shape. Each section is filled with intersecting dirt roads, large barns, storehouses, lively taverns, and livestock pens that give the streets their unique, shifting smell of fresh grass, sweet pollen, and animal dung. The Green Hall calls forth trade meetings and day celebrations, while the Sunset Hall acts as a massive tavern for evening festivities and diplomatic events. The Lake Hall is built at the edge of the Scymir River and helms the small fishing community within the city.Felderwin Tillage
The Tillage, as it's called by locals, is the expanse of fertile farmland surrounding Felderwin. This sprawling network of farms cultivates most of the Plain's crops and livestock. Crops are cultivated and harvested in the Tillage, while most business and shipping are handled within Felderwin itself. Farming families frequently travel between their acreage and the settlement of Felderwin to sell their goods and bring in their tithes. While most conflicts throughout these rural homesteads involve disputes over land, the open and remote nature of the farms makes them easy targets for burglary and theft. Stories of such dangers continue to grow as financial strife in Felderwin pushes working folk to extremes. Increasing mistrust of outsiders and even some neighbors has led some families to become quite hostile. For the most part, however, there are few communities known to be as welcoming and hospitable as those of the Felderwin Tillage.Population: 8,180 (58% halflings, 21% humans, 6% dragonborn, 15% other races)
