So, this is the last part of the Farmland District, introducing only 2 households.
Told you already that this district is split in the lower and upper part. Sounds like a chopped body, but it's not. The steep hill just makes it impossible for anyone to build between the lower and upper parts. While the small farms down there near the industrial area grow a limited amount of plants, the bigger farm is located up here. The upper part is pretty recently established, probably because of the longer transport distance to the town. It's not that long ago that a horse died on its way down this road, and all the tomatoes fell of the carriage, all spoiled of course.
Back then it took way longer to fill a carriage with new tomatoes than to find a new horse.
Ann E. & Rufus Hydront just arrived to Galucca. They expect their first kid. They are pretty poor after building a house and a shed, but Rufus is an experienced farmer, and Ann is a green thumb. They grow potato, tomato and garlic. Ann loves her black cat.
Nobody in Galucca knows about Rufus' criminal past, and he tries staying at home to avoid contact with local criminals. If they only can make some honest money, he will feel so much safer.
Lady Dora P. & Hendric von Salamand run the largest farm of the entire countship. Hendric's parents benefited from a strong tie to former Count Jonathan, and when the Count needed some support in the past, and (Hendric's father) old Abraham von Salamand gave him just that and secured a political win, Count Jonathan generously rewarded the von Salamands with his daughter Lady Dora's hand. Lady Dora inherited this bit of very good farmland, and Hendric's life wish was fulfilled! He is a green thumb, and thinks he was born to run a farm. Sadly he hired a farmer to do most of the hard work, but whenever it's harvesting time, Hendric can be seen happily tending his plants.
Dora and Hendric have two children, Jodriam who dreams of becoming a novelist rather than to run a farm, and Anne who is obsessed with what impact she can have on other people, men in particular...
Hendric adored Dora from the first meeting, while Lady Dora wasn't very happy with the marriage. He is fine, but she hated being outdoor, and becoming a farmer's wife was pretty far down on her wish list. But she had to obey her father's decision. She partly cut contact with him, and now that her brother, Baron Gustavian, is to become their next Count, Lady Dora actually don't want to attend the ceremony. She secretly clings to the Pettonta's signature colour, blue, through jewelry as well as the column at the house's entrance.
Lady Dora has a bad feeling for the castle in general, after she found the portrait of her aunt Lady Espella, who mysteriously was killed when Dora was young. Someone had hidden the portrait in the northern tower, and nobody was supposedly expected to find it. She felt they had all lied to her about aunt Espella, but there had never been anyone Dora could turn to. Aunt Espella's daughter Luphelia lives in Moon District, and Dora just can't be seen in such a place.
Sooo... only one district left, Moon District, and it's pretty small. But first there might be a few pics from the event at the Pettonta Castle...
