Firefly Fields
You are not too far from Whisperleaves, stranger. By the bridge you can see there, lightened by the fireflies, is where you need to go, continue passing the fields of lilac on your right by the road and in less than fours minutes, you should reach the town. The sound of the old windhill may lead you too. Me ? Oh, don't worry about me, predators are close to none nearby these fields, i take a moment a night with my dog to admire the spectacle of fireflies. Perhaps you would like to stay a while and share the view.Noƫlle Beladonne, Shepherdess
Geography
The meadows has access to freshs coming from a river passing by the rockades in the west.
One can climb the nearby rockade to reach the small lake and appreciate a greater view of the meadows.
Amongst the vistas are the village of Whisperleaves, with the old and sturdy windhill rising nearby it, the Bougie Bridge, which is a delicacy to watch at night with the fireflies around and under it, and the shrine of Saint Martha, which was responsible of the great blooming of the fields nearby. elevation and variation of height in the meadows are rather small except for a small inclination which helps some irrigation.
Fauna & Flora
The most beautiful aspect of the Firefly fields are the lush diversity of flowers and small fruits. Thanks to Saint Martha and the circle of witches who helped her, The fields have been having more variety in their flora specimen than ever.
For fruits, many ground plants and small fruits like Raspberries, Blueberries , Tomatoes ,Grapes and Strawberries are amongst the most present, but thank to trading, they also manage to get dwarf tree having citruses and cherries, and even a uncommon but interesting "red citrus" made from a amalgam of both through a tree merging technique.
Other many flowers fills the meadows like lilac, hydrangea, lylies, pink moss and tulips, to say the few.
The interesting aspect of the fields is also the rotation of their crops and cereals nearby town, the farmers using a floral fallow system to keep their crops land fresh under recommendation of Saint Martha.
Natural Resources
Due to the high presence of flowers to polleniate, some apicultor works on the fields with the bees to produce a rich and delicious honey.
But for insects, the most known are fireflies, which the fields get their names. During the night, they can be seen nearby the riverside and close to the bridge where their natural light fills the night.
Other ressources like cereals are done in a floral fallow rotation around.
It is also common to see a bunch of of sheepherders traveling nearby the grassy areas. Sheeps and goats are used fully as meat, wool, but also their refuse for compost of the plants.
A couple of cows and bulls are also bred around, as the bulls offer an extra protection from wildlife who would decide to go too down under like predators from the mountains.
Most rural wildlife is however kept not too close from the folwer fields to avoid them to wreck around the beautiful vistas. Some marshalls around takes care of astray animal in that case.
In the wildlife, smaller creatures like rabbits, chinchillas and foxes can be found around the fields, with also some wolves from the south during winter when food is harder to find.

There's a real knack for good names going on here. I really like Firefly Fields and stuff like Whisperleaves. I would've loved to have some sort of opening paragraph to give me an idea what it was I am about to dig into, something that tells me something about the world this place is a part of. AMore links to that could be really cool in general - are there superstitions or holidays/festivals that relate to the fireflies or anything like that? :) Keep up the Summer Campin'! :D We're in the final stretch now
