From the journal of Ardebast Raconteur:
Sunnyvale is often referred to as the breadbasket of Pelaria. At least 75% of all crops raised in Pelaria come from Sunnyvale. It is a far-stretching tract of land dotted with small farming communities that functions surprisingly as one town. Sunnyvale is populated by salt of the earth furs who work hard for their living. They’re warm and caring, but they don’t abide dawdlers.
If you plan to spend any extended time in Sunnyvale and you have no shinies, be prepared to work for your keep. I learned this the hard way. The townsfolk loved my stories, but stories don’t plant and harvest crops. The work was hard but fair. Even now, whenever I feel I’m getting too soft, I’ll stop for a spell in Sunnyvale to toughen myself back up.
Carja’s Notes:
As I was drawing the map of Pelaria, it occurred to me that I needed to think about farmland. From the idea that it would be made up of several smaller farming communities stretching out over a vast area of land, I needed to think of how this land would be policed and the problems covering such a vast territory would cause, hence the need for something like the Mouse Wing.
