	Fair Isle is located on Manticore near [[New Greyhawke]] in the eastern forest, sparsely populated with most residents living in the capital city of Rosemeade. Most of the land is relatively flat, with a very gradual rise in elevation and growing rolling hills the farther from the lake the land gets. Several creeks can be found in the forest, with a larger stream called Timbercreek that cuts through Fair Isle on its way to New Greyhawke and into the lake.

==Description of Territory==
===Geography & Overview===

Fair Isle is located on Manticore near [[New Greyhawke]] in the eastern forest, sparsely populated with most residents living in the capital city of Rosemeade. Most of the land is relatively flat, with a very gradual rise in elevation and growing rolling hills the farther from the lake the land gets. Several creeks can be found in the forest, with a larger stream called Timbercreek that cuts through Fair Isle on its way to New Greyhawke and into the lake.

Smaller towns are scattered about, using the lure of the beauty and quiet of the forests for citizens all over the star system to enjoy secluded cabins and camp grounds to get away.

===Estate===
Fair Isle estate is located on the northern outskirts of Rosemeade and is home to the Deputy Fourth Space Lord. The manor is three stories: an underground basement, the main floor, and a second floor with a large party and star-viewing balcony in the back. A pool and formal gardens take up the back side of the grounds. The baroness has a personal collection of tapestries, paintings, and sculptures commissioned from local artists. The house is open for tours throughout the week, which must be scheduled in advance, and additionally opens to the public for viewing special astronomical events.

====Staff====
TBD

===Business & Economy===
Several ranches throughout the barony specialize in raising sheep and alpaca breeds for their fleeces, which are some of the most sought after wool on Manticore and is a staple for the artists of the barony. The oldest and well-known of these ranches include Frankford Farms, Palisades Point, and Greenway Heights.
