Ludwell is a growing manorial area, placed near the fine hunting-grounds of Modron’s forest. Originally a hunting-cabin for the Lord of the Rock it is now expanded to serve as a manor for its Lord. The nearby village is unusually large for a manorial village, and runs the risk of loosing inhabitants if not more hamlets are built. Deep in the forest lies a beautiful grove of flowers. It is said to bloom even into the autumn some years. Many young lovers escape into the forest to find it.

In 483 Gamond ap Edern planted the first bloom of the wild grove cherries in a large orchard, surrounding a large core of them with cherries imported from Lyonesse and Cornwall.

Unlike most other manors, the fields are enclosed by verdant hedges, lending the manor the air of an idyllic daydream. Once upon a time, when the heartblade still graced the wall of the manor, this land was known by another, more fitting name. Heartvale.
