The distant valley behind Saratoga Castle was occupied by several cottages that were provided to the Rank 2 and Rank 3 Magi by the arcane institution.
Each of these cottages came with large patches of land numbering in the tens and even hundreds of acres.
The reason why some, if not most, of the Magi of Saratoga chose to live in these countryside cottages instead of the bustling city of Ravenfell was because they believed they could deepen their understanding of magic by being closer to nature.
Out of the countless cottages that occupied this vast valley, the one belonging to Adam was nestled near the edge of a pond.
Beside the pond, he had also grown a small herb field where he grew all sorts of precious and magical ingredients.
Since his manor in the city was under construction, he alternated between staying at this cottage and his dorm room in the castle.
