Bramblewild Barn is a private property located near South River Road in River's Rest.

This property was auctioned off during Duskruin in August, 2021. It was purchased by Lexbubba in Prime and Spikethorn in Platinum. It is a permanent property with no monthly rent that includes a node, stable, and fishing area.

Location

[A Rough-Cut Track - 16016]
A ragged swath has been haphazardly cut through the undergrowth, leaving the remnants of brambles and bushes behind to snag the incautious. The track clears to the south where a break in the trees beckons, though the nighttime sky pales in comparison to the twinkling lights alive on the track as lightning bugs put on a remarkable show. You also see a bramble-covered path and a road to the north.
Obvious paths: south

Front Yard

[Bramblewild Barn, Pasture]
Surrounded by woods, the fenced-in pasture is a small hint of tamed territory amidst the wild. A lone elderberry tree sits atop the slight slope of the pasture, which is bisected by a small burbling creek sparkling in the starlight. Crossing the birch- and alder-lined creek is a small cedar footbridge leading to a large, beautifully preserved barn in the distance. You also see a gated path.
Obvious paths: none

Front Entrance

[Bramblewild Barn]
Starting near a tree-lined creek, pasture fades into cultivated grass surrounding an enormous, pristine barn painted a dark cinnabar with argent accents. The large doors of the barn are reinforced with iron banding, and a narrow flagstone path leads to a footbridge over the creek. Golden wild irises and bright white narcissus grow along the barn's exterior, and a small statue of Aeia rests near a reflecting pool.
Obvious paths: none

Main Room

[Bramblewild Barn, Stable]
The barn has been converted into a two-story living and stable area, with this lower floor serving as stable and some steep stairs leading to the home above. Several stalls have had their doors removed and are used as storage, filled with blankets, tack, saddles, and other riding accoutrements. A metal footlocker sits next to the single stall that still has a door.
Obvious exits: out

Living Room

[Bramblewild Barn, Living Area]
Rustic floors with contrasting birch furniture coupled with the arched ceiling of the barn create a warm and open living space. Large windows with herb-filled window boxes have cheerful, forest green, pinstriped curtains, and a series of matching curtains artfully divides the open space into smaller sections. A small kitchen nook with larder and basin nestles in one corner, while a rustic four-poster bed sits in another. Several bookcases and leather chairs cluster together beneath a series of wrought silver globes. You also see some steep stairs.
Obvious exits: nonet

Hidden Den

[Bramblewild Barn, Hidden Den]
Hidden beneath the barn, this large den is packed with several cherrywood bookcases, each crammed with dozens of books, maps, and scrolls. One wall is nothing but hastily pinned up maps around a dart board and matching cherrywood rack, and a line has been carved into the rustic hardwood floor roughly twenty feet back from the board. A large octagonal table and eight chairs take up the center of the den, and a large leather couch curves around a mahogany-framed painting. You also see a small cherrywood bin and a small cupboard.

Obvious exits: none

Stable

Fishing Island

[Bramblewild Island]
This miniature island is covered with small saplings and a large greyed stump on one end, and tall grasses intermixed with daisies on the other. It's an easy jump back to the pasture on one side, and the creek there runs shallow. Too wide to comfortably jump, the other side is also quite deep and the occasional flash of a fish can be seen. A weatherbeaten chair, low to the ground, is positioned facing the deeper waters, and an abandoned fishing pole lies broken next to it. You also see a small fire encircled with creek rocks.
