A new family or individual has lately arrived and is still in a state of getting themselves prepared for the oncoming winter, or else their doing their best to survive their first winter, if this is presently ongoing.  They would be grateful for any help, sustenance or benefit that can be offered, as their first year won't comfortably produce enough food for them to survive, or isn't doing so, if this is winter.

 '''Orphan or lost child.''' This may be a young child who has lately lost his or her parents (1-17) or a lost child who has stumbled into the area within the last month (18-20) who has not been officially adopted by anyone.  There is an effort to find someone ready to take the responsibility, or give sufficient care to a single farm that makes it possible for the residents there to feed and sustain another child (or perhaps their first one).
 '''Outlaws or bandits.''' A group of unpleasant persons have either occupied an abandoned property as benign neighbours (1-18), or else have arrived to seize between two and three hundred pounds of food to support themselves (19-20).  These persons may be looked up variously as friends or as uncomfortable persons in the community, but in most cases, as shown by the die, they have shown no personal vendetta against the farmers.  Still, they may draw unwanted attention should there be external meddling.

	'''Borderland farms''' are randomly generated [[6-mile Hex Map\|6-mile hex]] settings where the environment reflects a balance between cultivated farmland and the surrounding wilderness. The farms, typically small homesteads, have ploughed between 15 and 30 acres of land for crops, while the surrounding hinterland is utilised for game and foraging, and rarely woodcutting. Each farmstead is usually a modest hovel, with 1 in 4 including a barn, with each situated along a waterway, whether a river, stream or creek. If a river or stream has insufficient length to accommodate the number of farms indicated, a creek needs to be invented which the remaining farms would follow. Randomly determine the location of the first "[[Domain Hex\|domain hex]]" from which the remaining farms proliferate.
