Sharin Freehold

A rich and progressive farm is Sharin Freehold. It is run by Ulwen Sharin, a graceful matron who is one of the Six Councilors who rule the Dale. Here the visitor can see both fantastic herb gardens sprayed by an elaborate system of water pump fountains and livestock breeding programs of great complexity that seek to make cattle hardier and give pigs wings strong enough to let them fly for short distances to avoid harm. This freehold stands in the heart of the richest, most splendid farms in Mistledale. The area is heavily patrolled by militia forces led by lone Riders in order to discourage theft and vandalism. (Rival Dales and Sembian interests have been known to hire rough folk to damage crops here to drive up prices for the sale of their rival commodities.)
