Purpose / Function

Alterations

Over time, the farm may have seen alterations like expansions to the farmhouse or improvements to the fields and animal pens, depending on the needs of the Alderleaf family. The layout and structures on the farm would be adapted to suit the agricultural activities undertaken by Qelline Alderleaf and her family.

Architecture

The farmhouse is likely a simple, cozy structure, characteristic of halfling architecture – comfortable, welcoming, and practical. Besides the main house, there could be a barn, stables, and storage sheds, constructed in a functional style to support farming operations.

Defenses

As a farm, it would have basic security like locks on doors and perhaps a fence around the property, but nothing elaborate. For protection, the farm would likely rely on the broader community of Phandalin, particularly in times of danger.

History

The farm might have been in Qelline Alderleaf's family for generations, passed down and maintained over the years. Its history could reflect the struggles and growth of Phandalin, surviving through various challenges faced by the town.

Tourism

Alderleaf Farm is not a tourist destination; it's a functional, private residence and farm. While not attracting tourists, the farm might interest adventurers as a place to gather information or as a starting point for quests, especially those involving Carp's explorations.
