Theo's Farm

Image


A bit outside of the settlement proper, a pocket of arable land has been producing crops and livestock for generations. Its current proprietor, Theo, gives it his name. The farm isn't large by the standards of Sylira, but the generations have learned tricks to maximize their yield through creative agricultural practices.

Crops rotate and citizens are encouraged to come help, which gives them a bit of a discount when the crops are harvested. Some goes to market, but Theo will frequently bring crates full of produce for those who have helped out a great deal on the farm or have paid him ahead of time. The buildings built upon the farm include a greenhouse, tiers of grapevines up a rocky hill, hen house, fish pond, a small barn, and even a few beehives kept far back from everything else.

Theo was born and raised in Denval and has never left for another city, though he has explored the environs to study different ecosystems and look for plants that he might use. He was apprenticed to his uncle when he was ten after he showed signs of aptitude for working with plants and animals, and he was soon marked by Bala for his efforts. He can read and write, but his formal schooling ended when his apprenticeship began, although he was sent to the Lyceum a few times when Zeltivan scholars came to study their ways and lecture, too.

At seventeen, he married a girl named Amaranta, and she moved into the farmhouse with him and his uncle. Within a year, he was the father of a baby girl, Cinta. Seven years later, his ten year old nephew came to apprentice to him and to his own uncle. They were starting a sort of tradition of uncle-to-uncle transmission of knowledge. When Cinta turned ten, however, she fell ill. Her mother soon caught whatever it was, and Theo's uncle last of all. His own nephew was sent straightaway to Master Jarret to stay in isolation, meanwhile Theo watched his family die.

When it was determined that Theo and his nephew were not in any danger, the boy returned and the two of them kept the farm running. Theo has since fathered children on other Denvali women who were merely looking for children, but has made no moves to form a family again. His nephew is all the heir he needs.
