In Neptune's Grove...

Morning on the Estate surrounding the Ducal Palace in Tradgardland. A shepherdess escorts her flock across the grove to pastures.An idyll in Arcadia...
Later on the sound of sword play echos around the once quiet grove-
These determined gentlemen hone their skill under the watchful eye of Father Duggan,former military adventurer now Jesuit priest. Tiring of their sport the men retire to discourse over wine.

  2. Is Ny Tradgardland located in North America? Will there be skirmishes with the local aboriginal p[opulation? Trade for furs?

    1. NY Tradgardland is the Duchy of Tradgardland's small colony in the New World,just down/up the coast from Louisberg.They are allied with the Gallians and a Gallian priest is chaplain to the colony.He comes from the Louisberg fort to say Mass for the colonists.
      Hopefully skirmishes with locals,Provincals,pangers etc...
