Built into the gentle foothills of the mountains, these paddy fields employ a clever terraced design that allows them to feed the neighboring village in a small space. When the grain is young, the water reflects the sky like a mirror; as it grows, the paddies become lush with greenery. The edges of the terraces serve as a natural dam to retain the water, crafted generations ago by the elves who built the terraces. Now, the local village of Tin-adan is far more multicultural, and it's not uncommon to see halflings, humans, orcs, and elves work the fields side by side.
Recently, the area has become a popular retreat for diviners, which has stirred some conict between the visiting mages and the locals who live there year-round. Certainly, it is easier to glean accurate prophecies in the clear waters of the rice paddies than almost anywhere else; however, when the farmers are just trying to work, having a robed academic getting in the way can be profoundly annoying. So far, however, the two groups get along with mutual irritated tolerance.
