Samuel Ashford

Samuel Ashford was not chosen to fight the new world. He was chosen to feed it. Before the freeze, he worked the land- soil under his nails, seasons in his bones. When the world ended and began again without humanity, Samuel woke to a place that had forgotten order but remembered growth. Fields had become wild. Crops had vanished. The land was dangerous but alive. Now, as one of Hearth’s farmers, Samuel’s task is simple and impossible: make life sustainable again. He studies the soil, listens to weather, experiments, fails, and tries again. He believes survival isn’t won by strength alone, but by patience, routine, and care. In a world ruled by predators and ruins, Samuel Ashford plants anyway.
