This lovely little farm, in the middle of farm country in Bloodhelm's protection, was Duncan's dream, or so he thought. When he married his wife, though he was not the best builder, he built a large, two story farm house in the hopes he would have many children to spoil. Of course he didn't, which should make the world so much sadder, but he would spoil his nieces and nephews, along with any child he came in contact with.
The farm also holds a large barn, which he rebuilt three times because of his uncontrolled fire magic. Of course, at the time, he didn't know it was magic, but he realized it in time.
The size of the farm is about 100 acres, which is big for a farm on Martapa, but some of the land is forested, so when Duncan ran the farm he would thin and sell the lumber a few logs at a time. His nephew, who took over the farm, continues the practice.
Though just mentioned in the first two books, it is the setting for the party returning together after their separation at the end of the second book. Growing up around farmers and foresters I enjoy the happy feeling of the farm, even if it is only a side note compared to the main story.
Happy writing!
