Emerald Barn, Realm

An Idyllic little Realm that acts as a home for quite a few farmers.   The color in the name is quite literal, with a lot of plant life being present in the realm that bears a rich grin in it's stalks and stems, only being broken by the bright pastels of the flowers that grow there.    So vivacious is the plant life within the Realm that it will, inevitably, grow across structures and walls if not removed. Though it seems to have a sense of decorum, amusingly, as they don't seem to grow to overtake structures but simply to cover them and no more. The end result is like laying flower chains on a may-pole, or letting a reasonable amount of ivy grow upon a garden-facing wall, a quirk of the Realm that many residents learn to appreciate in time, if not right away.     The Realm's output is largely fruit orchards, which export out to Mother Earth and sell to a winery that exists within the Realm.

Geography

Pretty much the whole Realm consist of lightly forested plains dotted with meandering hills and rivers.   On occasion mountain ranges do crop up, but they're not terribly tall and are quick to terminate.

Climate

Temperate and pleasant all year long.    For all intents and purposes, the Realm goes through two seasons. One that is a melding of spring and summer, and the other being more akin to autumn. Though in autumn's case, it doesn't get as cold as it often does here in the States on mother earth, but it does rain a great deal more than the other two-thirds of the Realms year.

Fauna & Flora

As discussed, the main feature of the life of the Realm is it's aptitude for plant life. Even species of wheat, corn, and several fruits that were introduced grow here as if they had always been. Nothing has grown out of control either, giving the impression that the Realm caters to all plant life, giving them just what they need and nothing more.   There are some small examples of animal life present as well, but they are largely herbivorous in nature. Several species of Rodentia akin to what one might find in the midwestern territories, birds, and a few species of cervine have been observed. While markedly different from anything found on earth, they aren't completely alien either. More like offshoots of species familiar to us.
The location of the Realmgate to Emerald Barn is located in western edge of the Dakota territory. As a whole, the Realm is fairly easy to access, even if someone attempting to translocate themselves in with fairly little knowledge.
