 The area is good agricultural land, and uncultivated areas are mainly rough grass land, bumpy and uneven, with small clumps of bushes breaking the boring green sea.  There are small hills, dips and valleys and there are a lot of small streams – although nothing that needs any effort to cross over.  Small copses / thickets of two to six trees are not uncommon.  The main plants are horse grass, stink weed with occasional clumps of wild kale – along with a selection of wild flowers.  The thickets are composed of low trees and bushes, which often include crab apples, green plum, blackberry and cloudberry. At the right time of year you can find ramsoms and fields of bluebells.
-Most of the residents live close to the village or farms, although you may occasionally encounter hunters, trappers or woodsmen in the other areas.

 This hamlet grows grapes that the Roths  needs to produce their signature wine, 'Grapes of Roth'.
-  * **The Vinyard** - is similar to a normal farm, there is a small mixed agricultural section, although its main cash crop is grapes.  There is also a small pressing area, to produce the grape juice used to produce wine.

 One of the least cultivated areas, it is very similar to the general terrain, but the ground is rockier and broken with more thickets and kale.  It is more difficult to travel across than the rest of the area. It is a good area to hunt for wild grouse and pigeons.
-The Warrens
-Drier, sandier ground, with a few banks and cuts, and many small clumps of kale and fruit bushes. It is riddled with rabbit and ground squirrel warrens.

-Much like the general terrain of the area, but grazed into better shape,  The Common serve as a grazing ground for most of the residents.  You will find cows, goats, sheep, ponies, donkeys, mules etc - in small herds or staked out to graze in a restricted area.  You may well encounter herders and husbandmen guarding and looking after the animals.
