The Delving Fields
The Delving Fields is an area within the Shire, in the western region.
These fields consisting mostly of rolling hills, meadows and farmland make for the largest farmhold in the Westfarthing of the Shire. Michel Delving, the largest settlement and "capital" of the Shire, is located to the west and provides services and attractions of all sorts. This area is also known as the White Downs, referring to the range of chalk downs.
All kinds of crafters will find extensive support and opportunities at the big crafting fair south of town. It provides a variety of equipment and staff, open fields for farmers, and the cooks guild house.
Two large roads pass through The Delving Fields and cross at Waymeet; the ancient Great East Road that runs from Downs Gate through the Shire to Stock and beyond, and the road from Ered Luin that runs via the Rushock Gate passing south via Southfarthing Gate and beyond.
