Erdan's Farm

Just outside of Yoikoko, covering 1/2 an acre of land.[1]

Background
As a reward for defeating so many evils in the town of Yoikoko, the party were offered a favour each. Erdan requested some protected land to grow a single apple tree. What he received was half an acre of land just outside of the town, although sadly unprotected and overgrown. He has made it one of his goals to develop this land into a farm that will help the people of Yoikoko to recover from the disasters that it has faced lately.

Description
The land covers half an acre and includes a burnt-down old cottage - mostly just a shell. There's a gate to the land (mended by Mari), with fencing around the rest of the perimeter. Also on the land are some old chicken coups, which have been destroyed and a broken down stable. The rest of the area is totally overgrown, with only a small area currently usable for planting.

Unfortunately, it is also overrun with vermin - rats and rabbits alike. Two rocks have fallen into a small cave shape, and a family of rabbits live there. The overgrown area is thick enough to provide some shelter from wind and rain, possibly more so than the remains of the building.

Before he left, Erdan set a snare spell and a hunting trap at key access points to the land in order to defend it from intruders.

Future Development
Erdan wants to demolish the buildings' remains and start over. He wants to develop it into a working farm and/or orchard and/or nature reserve. To protect it, he also wants to learn how to enchant talismans to create wards that can be placed around the site.
