Goldenfields
Town in Waterdeep · the Granary of the North
Goldenfields is a vast walled farming abbey dedicated to Chauntea, the goddess of agriculture, and the most productive source of grain, crops and fruit in the North.
Golden fields of grain roll to the horizon behind a long wall, scarecrows stand in neat rows, and the air smells of soil, bread and cut hay.

Overview
Goldenfields lies in the farmland north-east of Waterdeep, with the Forlorn Hills to the north-west. It is a temple-farm on a huge scale, run by priests of Chauntea and worked by many farmers and labourers.
Because so much of Waterdeep's food comes from here, the abbey is important to the city, and any threat to Goldenfields is a threat to Waterdeep.
