Orchards (Rural)

Orchards of offerings, snacks, and maybe a little profit.

These orchards yield a rich harvest of figs, apples, olives, and other fruits that make gods and mortals alike thankful (and slightly sticky).

Farmers tend to the trees with care, knowing that each apple might end up as an offering at the temple or as the main course of a family feast.

In good years, surplus fruit is sold, turning nature’s bounty into jingly coin.

Fruit Dryer (Rural)

Drying fruit for road trips, winters, and long speeches.

Here, the fruit dryer extends the lifespan of figs, dates, and other fruity treats, ensuring the taste of summer lasts long after the harvest.

These dried fruits serve soldiers, travelers, and winter hoarders who find joy in a touch of sweetness during the colder months, or when the bread starts tasting like straw.
