About Hidden Grove

 

Hidden Grove Ranch is tucked away down a nearly over-grown dirt road to the east of Rhydin's main population center. Nestled as it is in the Rhydinian foothills, the Grove is easy to miss. This fifty-four acre ranch of fine grassland and old forest is home to some of Rhydin's finest horseflesh.

No one really knows when the Grove was established, except perhaps its owner, Jericho

Tyler.  Few even knew of its existence until very recently, when Tyler finally came out of his self-imposed exile and began associating with the local residents.

The property itself is largely still uncleared. Of the areas that are developed, one field is devoted to grain and vegetables, and three other areas are pasture. It has three large barns, two training rings, a surprisingly small farm house, and several outbuildings. A bunkhouse provides living space for the hands.  There is a small race track and joust field as well, for training chargers and racehorses. Several riding trails wind throughout the property.

About Jericho Tyler

Of Tyler himself, almost nothing is known. He is said not to be human despite his rather normal and very human appearance, however this opinon could be based on the fact that he obviously gets along better with animals than with people. He seems to be mild-tempered, however he has no qualms about speaking his mind. Generally he is a quiet man, and keeps to himself, much preferring the company of horses and dogs to that of people. 

Tyler is 47, though he appears to be in his mid-to-late 30s. He is not native to Rhydin, and

although there is some speculation that he has been among us much longer than anyone knows, and is in fact much older than he claims, this is mere speculation. It is very much more likely that he arrived in Rhydin three years ago and spent all but the most recent few weeks of that time isolated at the Grove.

He claims to have been raised on a cattle ranch in a land called Argentina, adopted into the already-large family of a wealthy land owner. He became adept at breaking and training horses early in his life. He apparently had a falling-out with his adopted family after a riding accident, about which he will not speak. Since that time he has apparently all but abandoned his previous, rather lucrative career as a horse-trainer.

Even at Hidden Grove, he rarely takes a hand in the training of the steeds, unless a particular situation demands it. More often he leaves the training to his hired trainers and hands. He does, however, supervise the breeding program carefully, and apparently quite successfully.

Since his reappearance in Rhydin, he has occasionally been seen in Club Hell and the Rhydin Singles Bar. Of these, he seems most comfortable in Club Hell, apparently preferring its quiet to the constantly rowdy singles bar. If he is lonely for human (or similar) companionship, it doesn't show. He has not been seen regularly with any one person, nor seemed overly taken by any of the few he has been seen with.

He does not seem to be creating the air of mystery that surrounds him. He simply is less forthcoming regarding himself and his past than those around him, One could gather that he really cares little for the opinions of others. He takes quiet pride in his ranch, and is content with that.
