Here rests a quiet mountain hamlet buried in a terraced sea of rice paddies — or wheat fields, depending on your taste. Loosely inspired by a variety of terraced fields, especially in mainland China and in southeast Asia. Who will have the high ground?
Thoughts
The storehouse has a trapdoor hidden in it. I wonder what’s down there? A secret chamber? A dungeon? Or just a regular cellar?
I hope someone gets to kick those barrels down the stairs.
This hamlet is probably best for placing at a notable rural crossroads. The residents might pick up on interesting rumors from travelers.

Rice Fields: Welcome to them.
Wheat Fields: In case rice isn’t your local crop, wheat fields can substitute for rice!
Spring: Planting’s only just begun. For now, pools of water (and resident frogs) fill the terraces.
Autumn: The villagers are ready for harvest, but perhaps not a bloody harvest.
Winter: Ice coats the battlefield! Don’t slip, there’s no fence to catch you.
Dry Fields: A less hazardous farmland to fight on. Nothing’s been planted yet & the fields haven’t been flooded!
