Pinecone Wood Farm.
The towering enclosing wall, made of a mix of stone bricks and wooden stakes, encompassed a large piece of land. On one side of the wall were dense houses, and on the other were fields crisscrossed with paths and orchards speckled with broken snow.
To call this place a farm would be an understatement; it more closely resembled a city from the Classical Era.
Inside the wall lived twelve to twenty thousand people, forming a settlement with the market at its core, inhabited by officials, craftsmen, soldiers, and their families. Outside the wall lived thirty to forty thousand people, the majority of whom were farmers, over half of whom were serfs that had lost their freedom. The rest were tenants who rented the land and hadn't yet gone bankrupt.
Everything here belonged to the farm owner.
Both the land and the people.
