In Neptune's Grove...

Morning on the Estate surrounding the Ducal Palace in Tradgardland. A shepherdess escorts her flock across the grove to pastures.An idyll in Arcadia...
Later on the sound of sword play echos around the once quiet grove-
These determined gentlemen hone their skill under the watchful eye of Father Duggan,former military adventurer now Jesuit priest. Tiring of their sport the men retire to discourse over wine.

    A fine statue (Minot?). Reminds me of the one at Dyrham Park

    Is Ny Tradgardland located in North America? Will there be skirmishes with the local aboriginal p[opulation? Trade for furs?

      NY Tradgardland is the Duchy of Tradgardland's small colony in the New World,just down/up the coast from Louisberg.They are allied with the Gallians and a Gallian priest is chaplain to the colony.He comes from the Louisberg fort to say Mass for the colonists.
      Hopefully skirmishes with locals,Provincals,pangers etc...
