Okay, a more serious (re: put more effort into) pic here.

The pic here is longshore farm as seen looking north from a point in the south western field. Visible are the homesteads, the fishery (and boardwalk), the windmill, the northern guard tower and, of course, dire swamp. (doesnt look that scary in daytime does it )

From left to right are Kahdar, Peregrine and Gate Guard Aidwain ... followed by two of the hired-hands. The three on the right are heading out on a patrol before relieving the guards stationed at the southern entrance. Two armoured spearmen and a crossbowman are typical for their border patrols. I kinda took a bit of license here and while i gave them all the same style of armour seen in the comics I went ahead and designed a helmet for them. The orange/brass bits feed off the crystal at the front and power warding spells to protect their heads. The crystals can also be used as flashlights

The markings seen on their straps are their ranks in the informal hierarchy of LSF ... basically 4 lines equals a chevron and the colours indicate which "generation" the person belongs to. Teal being the original founders, working their way down to red for the temporary hands.

It may seem incongruous but all people on the farm tend to be armed at all times ... bear in mind that this is a very frontier sort of outpost and more than once this thinking has helped them run off bandit attacks from the swamp. The homestead is very much constructed with an eye towards defence and is surrounded by a small levy that rings the houses. Also, the only ways into the inner courtyards are through narrow gaps between the houses, all of which can be blocked quickly in case of attack.

That sundial thingy (i dont know how to draw them so bear with me ) was placed in commemoration of the founding of LSF. The plaque on the side bears the inscription "On this day and on this spot; Longshore farm was founded by an agreement between the houses Longshore, Ashford and Tallain. (the date follows this, but i dont know the rac-conan calender so ill leave it blank for now)"

TOTQ is (c) RH Junior productions [link]
Artwork and Characters are (c) me.

EDIT: I recently was given a map of the Rac-conan lands ... predictably, my previous guesses about relative directions were 180 degrees off, hence this now has to be renamed LSF - NORTH east field XD ... ill leave the description as is though
