Fieldfare Manor
Country house
Fieldfare Manor was once the residence of the former landlord of the Denron neighbourhood. However, it was abandoned in 1798 due to the family's financial struggles and fear of the patriotic movement. The land shares were sold to residents and other interested parties in the region. While the house remained in the family, it was abandoned and now sits in a derelict state, slowly being reclaimed by nature.
Before Fieldfare Manor was abandoned, the Rhodon family owned it for several decades. The house was the finest country house in the area, and an enormous staff kept it going. Besides overseeing the Denron region, they owned a large portion of the land, including Grenn forest and the banks of the river Kild, where they had exclusive rights for fishing and hunting. After their departure, both Grenn Forest and the river Kild were considered an ecological monument and are now protected. They are slowly recovering from the family's disregard, lavish hunting parties and recreational use.

Location
Fieldfare Manor is located in Denron. Denron is a neighbourhood situated in the District of Vöhren, which is a part of Amt Aldáer. The community is predominantly inhabited by farmers, with the most notable estates being Lutz, Lympha and Hochter. These estates are either owned by the inhabitant or an external person, such as a landlord, baron or marquess. Before 1798 however, the whole neighbourhood was managed by the Rhodon family, who resided at Fieldfare Manor. Because of the patriotic movement and financial problems, the family had to sell their shares of the land and move out. Fieldfare Manor now stands derelict.
The majority of the neighbourhood is covered by a dense, ancient pine forest known as ""Grenn forest"". This forest is protected due to its age and ecological value, with only small portions developed into farmland. Grenn Forest is utilized for agroforestry, where various crops are grown amidst the ancient trees, including fruit and nut trees, mushrooms, as well as locally present species like juniper, cranberry, and blackberries. Additionally, animals such as sheep, chickens, and deer are raised by man in the forest.
In the southeast of the neighbourhood lies a raised bog, an extension of the Wester Wüste. The bogland is utilized for peat mining, and the ponds are used for retting flax.
