The oldest portal into | {{Smallcaps|The oldest portal}} into, and out of, Lissingdown was the Moor’s Gate. It opened out onto a region beyond the city walls they called The Meadow and, beyond that, the dark forest of [[Bretton Woods|Bretton]]. | ||
The Meadow was a wide flat, low-lying mud plain. It turned briskly to swamp whenever it rained, which wasn’t often, but was often enough that generations had maintained narrow plank walkways to get about The Farm. The “boards” ran from the gate all the way to the woods, and down to The Farm between them, where they raised and cultivated clients. The itinerant labourers who maintained the Farm were thus known always as the “onboarders”. | {{indent|The Meadow was a wide flat, low-lying mud plain.
