Alderleaf Farm is a small, well-tended halfling homestead on the southwestern edge of [[Phandalin]]. Known for its rolling green pastures, tidy rows of crops, and the constant aroma of baked bread, the farm represents the heart of simple frontier life — peace, hospitality, and quiet wisdom.

=== Overview ===
The farm is home to [[Qelline Alderleaf]] and her curious young son, [[Carp Alderleaf]]. Despite its humble size, Alderleaf Farm is one of the most welcoming spots in Phandalin, serving as a resting place for weary travelers and a source of fresh produce for the town’s market.

Adventurers first visited the farm in [[Session 03 – Welcome to Phandalin]], where Qelline shared valuable advice and mentioned her old friend [[Reidoth]] in [[Thundertree]]. Carp, meanwhile, revealed his discovery of the secret tunnel beneath [[Tresendar Manor]], sparking the party’s next lead.

=== Features ===
* **Main Cottage** – A cozy halfling home filled with books, herbs, and the comforting smell of stew.
* **Pasture Fields** – Neat rows of barley and beans, bordered by an old stone wall.
* **Barn & Cellar** – Storage for tools and supplies; also serves as an impromptu meeting space for trusted visitors.

=== Key Figures ===
* [[Qelline Alderleaf]] – Matron of the household, wise and pragmatic.
* [[Carp Alderleaf]] – Her adventurous son and accidental discoverer of the Redbrands’ tunnel.

=== Current Status ===
Peaceful and thriving. While it appears an ordinary farm, a few trusted locals know that Qelline occasionally shelters travelers or couriers tied to the [[Harpers]].

=== Appearances ===
* [[Session 03 – Welcome to Phandalin]] – Qelline and Carp provide key information about [[Reidoth]] and the [[Tresendar Manor]] tunnel.

<details><summary>🧩 DM Notes (Spoilers)</summary>

'''Truth:''' Alderleaf Farm is one of several informal [[Harpers]] safehouses scattered across the Sword Coast. Qelline receives messages and small parcels hidden among supply shipments, which she forwards to contacts in [[Neverwinter]] and [[Waterdeep]]. She occasionally consults with [[Sister Garaele]] at the [[Shrine of Luck]].

'''Foreshadowing:'''
* The farm may become a rallying point or fallback haven for the party in ''Rise of Tiamat''.
* Carp’s growing curiosity about adventuring foreshadows his potential future role as a Harper courier or local hero.
* Qelline’s friendship with [[Reidoth]] connects the farm directly to the [[Emerald Enclave]], bridging multiple factions in subtle cooperation against the [[Cult of the Dragon]].
