Lon Lon Ranch (Total War)

Lon Lon Ranch is semi-autonomous settlement in Hyrule Field, approximately 30 miles south of Gundrumether.

Etymology
Lon means livestock in Akkalan.

History
Lon Lon Ranch traces its origins to the Tribes of Akkala as they emigrated from Arcadia. Like other Akkalan settlements, it began as a sheltered community, a central Noble manor or castle home to one of the larger Houses, surrounded by rural villages governed by their bannermen, in this case its namesake, House Lontha, a vassal house of House Nohansen with holdings on a large naturally fortified plateau in the heart of Hyrule Field. Over the centuries, the influence of House Lontha waned until it more resembled a family business.

Lon Lon Ranch is a privately owned ranch complex owned and operated by Malon, located atop a a large plateau and ringed with defensive palisade walls and silos that double as guard towers, a holdover of the days of fortified Akkalan redoubts dotting Hyrule Field. While a private entity within the Kingdom of Hyrule, Lon Lon is influential enough to hire a small army of paid guards and ranchers to maintain and protect its assets. Lon Lon is one of the largest producers of beef, leather, milk, grain, and livestock and horse husbandry in the known land, with its famous Lon Lon Milk, which emulates the effect of alcoholic drinks, found across Hyrule. Its Horses, the legendary Hyrulean Mare, are favored by the Hylian military for cavalry.
