After arriving in Rexxentrum and meeting the Cobalt Soul’s representatives, Scrum decided to head Northeast outskirts, past the Mudtop Ward and the King’s Bastion to her family farm: Umptious Carrots and More (Can’t be Beet!). Upon arriving, Scrum found her family thriving and happy, just coming in from the fields for a shared lunch. They were happy to see her, though they were worried about some of the rumors that have spread through the Mudtop after some Crownsguard visited and asked if she’d been by here. While most of her family wasn’t nervous about any developments, her second eldest brother was very interested in the work she’s done with the Crownsguard, recently, and what her role is; seeming suspicious that she had left and betrayed the Empire.

Otherwise, her family is fine. The guards she hired to protect the borders are well trained and polite and have stopped several Moorbounders from getting at the young crops. The Moorbounders are the most exciting thing that’s been happening, specifically the group that have nested in the southwest fields. They kept returning and eventually mated there, making it almost impossible to plant crops. As a result, the Umptious family decided to rent that land to the Empire’s Artificer Guild, who cleared the Moorbounder’s out and keep them back in order to protect the Windmill they’ve built there to collect some kind of soil samples in the ground. The checks clear and they’re keeping the land safe, so the Umptious family isn’t asking too many questions; though it does sound very similar to the windmill that the Defiant Blade Rebellion is attempting to destroy around Trostenwald before the windmill poison’s the farmland around it. Scrum didn’t get to investigate it too much before returning to the Shimmer Ward to join the party in the meeting with Sandrius.
