Sasserine plantations
"Just outside Sasserine, nearly 25 miles of jungle and swamp along the Thunder River have been cleared for use as sprawling, privately owned plantations. Providing food crops and exports for the city, the river’s seasonal flooding makse the land particularly rich, although those who farm it constantly battle re-encroaching jungle vegetation and beasts. Cassava, coffee, cotton, millet, rice, sugarcane, and tea—as well as some more traditional farm crops—make up Sasserine’s plantations’ most abundant products. Aside from their products, a few particular plantations bear noting.
- Boudinot Plantation – Run by the obese Boss Remming Boudinot, it’s rumored that his fields of high growing sugarcane disguise a harvest of criminal crops and hide other nefarious dealings.
- Dromdal Plantation – The sharp-tongued yet genteel Josiah Imfried Dromdal commands the largest plantation (cotton and tea) in the area. His greatest prides are his handsome manor house and widely desired daughter, Chablis. Josiah’s six strapping sons prove quick to defend both his and their sister’s honor.
- Misroi Plantation – A cursed place, this untended plantation and burnt-out manor house once belonged to one Anton Misroi, a cruel man who murdered his wife by drowning her in a nearby quicksand bog. When her corpse returned to slay her treacherous husband, the plantation’s fearful workers burned the manor house and forever fled."[1]
