"As a little child living in the countryside, I used to go running around in the forests, creating my own fairy tale."

Birdsong and laughter fill the air in the farming lands of Hearth. Children run around from village to village, needing not to care for safety. The men in the fields work hard, morning through evening, and come home satisfied and proud of the hard work they've achieved. The harvests are plentiful here, the lands safe and beautiful. At the end of the fields, where the weeping trees grow, is a swamp that non of the villagers dare go near. The children, innocent and brave, never venture there, and even the rugged men in the fields shudder to venture near. Nobody knows what's in the swamps, nobody knows why the people that travel inside never return, and nobody knows what causes the lights and the voices singing between the wet trees in the swamp at night.

I do like making farmland maps. Growing up frequenting rural areas, farmland maps always appeal to me. I love exploring the local legends, the endless fields and the ancient woods, and putting it into maps is always incredibly satisfying. I'd like to thank several people for their help in creating some of the renders - namely CubeLeaf and Yeti, it's great to have you on board. This map combines several biomes together and I'm happy with the transitions, having the tree types gradually change is a very smooth transition to have.

I used the following tools to create this map:

• WorldPainter (for creating the map)
  
• Chunky (for rendering the map)
