Grape Manifest

Northshire Abbey has long sustained itself on regional agriculture, including the lush vineyards tended by local farmers like Milly Osworth. When Defias bandits moved into the valley and seized the harvest, the abbey's stock of fresh fruit and fermentables was thrown into jeopardy. The Grape Manifest serves as official confirmation that the crates have been reclaimed from the fields. It details the quantity of saved grapes so the abbey's quartermasters can balance their stores and prepare barrels for fermentation.

Brother Neals oversees Northshire's food and drink, maintaining a particular fondness for testing the abbey's vintage in the high quiet of the bell tower. For him, receiving the manifest is not merely administrative paperwork; it ensures that the monks and visiting recruits will not go thirsty. To the devout brothers of the abbey, every saved bushel is celebrated as both a logistical victory and a quiet blessing from the Holy Light.
