Heroes of the Borderlands, Part 3


3. Create planted fields, farm buildings, and farmers around the Keep.  One extended family of five adults and seven adolescent children is sufficient to grow all the food needed by the Keep.  The inhabitants of the Keep would need a food source.  This food would be easy to grow and Keep without refrigeration, such as rice, pickles, and freshwater fish caught by a professional fisherman and a fisherwoman from the nearby river.  They could hire the player characters for a few days of work.

Otherwise, all the food eaten or beverages drank by the inhabitants of the isolated Keep, as well as their draft animals, would need to be brought in by wagon, or by riverboat.  Such vulnerable supply chains would put the safety of the Keep in danger, by Chaos soldiers that siege the Keep.

Note:  There would be a grass and hay fields for gazing draft animals.  There is also a barn for keeping the draft animals safe at night.  Space in the barn would be provided for wagons and stagecoaches.
