Echo Farm

Description

On the eastern face of a mountain, a plateau sits five thousand feet above the bustling city below, hugging the largest peak in the range. A small town called Haedo has existed there for countless generations, the city claiming individuals and families over the years, but also giving up new inhabitants along the way. It holds a certain equilibrium, unable to expand, but thriving enough to not collapse. The southwestern edge of that plateau is home to some of the richest soil in the area, and early on in the town’s evolution a farm was founded. Echo Farm was the only property in town that overlooked the precipice, which inspired its name. As the farm passed from generation to generation in the Moon family, the farmland flourished- fields of seasonal crops sustained the town and supplemented the city in the valley. The family made meager profits- just enough to live comfortably in town. Eventually, an entrepreneurial spirit was born- Joonki Moon. When he took over the farm, the crop land gradually shrank as cattle pastures grew. The money flowed freely and the man grew wealthy. Over time, the draw of the city became too alluring, and he moved his family away from Haedo. The cattle given away and the family gone, the land languished- its fate yet to be determined.
