Sometimes called the Breadbasket of the North, Goldenfields
is a walled abbey that was founded over a decade ago by the priest Tolgar
Anuvien Pastoral of Chauntea and retired senior member of the Blinkstone Companions.
Once only a small farm lost in the rolling sweep of the
grassy Dessarin meadows, Goldenfields has grown into the largest abbey of
Chauntea in the Seven Realms. It stands today a fortified farm complex
sprawling 20 square miles. Within its walls, thousands devout worshipers of Chauntea
and now Mielikki and Silvanus tend crops of grain, vegetables, as well as livestock.
A member of the Lord’s Alliance it nevertheless supplies
food to Waterdeep and most of the inland settlements like Amphail and The Bargewright.
With its increasing importance, the influence and stature of Tolgar Anuvien has
also grown making him also a fancied political figure. He is quickly becoming
the equal of such rulers as Lord Nasher of Neverwinter and the Waterbaron of Yartar.
Walled and jealously guarded, most folk of Faerûn are
staggered by the sheer size of Goldenfields; claiming it to be ‘a paradise of
plenty’ promised during the Time of Troubles.
All plans at expansion have halted as clerics and priests
have driven off more than 20 large-scale Uthgardt barbarian raids this year.
