Arismith Orchard

Arismith Orchard is a farm established in roughly 3150 MEC by Darivand Arismith d'Lorrizi. It was among many orchards that the man cultivated for his expansive farming network; notably, while all the other lands the Arismith family owned were sold off, lost to desertification or flooding, or otherwise were removed from their grasp, the Arismith Orchard remains in their possession to this day.

Geography
The orchard is located in the hills east of Grand Fenir, and spans roughly 500 acres. The orchard is noted to contain the source of the Renmis River, a minor holy site; the river flows through the orchard, cutting off about 1/3 to the north side from 2/3 to the south side, and creating a striking contrast between the apple trees to the north and pear trees to the south.

Landmarks and Crops
The largest hill in the area is the site of the Chapel Renmis, and the building is technically owned by Luther Arismith d'Fenir (the current owner of the orchard as well). Five miles south-southeast is an odd spire of granite dubbed by locals as "Marian Tower", after the urban legend of Rhubarb Mary.

A considerable portion of the orchard's land is devoted to growing citrus, which is well-suited for the climate; most visitors to the orchard purchase either the oranges or lemons grown there. Apple, pear and cherry trees are also spread throughout; pears, notably, were a favorite food of Darivand d'Lorrizi.

History
There are varying accounts of how and when Darivand d'Lorrizi purchased the orchard then known as the Renmis Point Grove. Some (including d'Lorrizi himself) say it was as early as 3138 MEC, and that it was the first piece of land he purchased, found cheap due to the owner being unable or unwilling to use the land efficiently; others say it was as late as 3163, considerably after d'Lorrizi had made his fortune, but soon grew to be the greatest of the Arismiths' lands.

What is known for certain is that at some point between d'Lorrizi's purchase and the 3200s, Modern Eminent Saint Ferris consecrated the source of the Renmis River and established the chapel there. It is also known that the orchard was called the Renmis Point Grove until 3329, when the name was officially changed. At that point, the Arismiths had sold off the majority of their land, and Renmis Point was now the oldest orchard they owned.

Today, the orchard is primarily visited by tourists and pilgrims seeking either the chapel or the citrus. It receives over ten thousand visitors a year.
