I still can't believe the amount of work it has taken to begin properly building my home. As it stands, it's little more than a simple house, a single room with a cooking pot and a bed, but I've expanded to include a garden and a pen for some chickens outside. I hope to build a stable soon, but I'll need a lot of resources before I can do that. My Steward, Valdimar, has proven most useful in procuring the basics of home construction at least. While I have to make trips out of the area to speak to merchants in neighboring communities, he can simply send couriers off to order and pay for stone, clay and wood as needed. I hope to make a truly glorious home for myself in time, but for now...Well, simple though it may be, I can't get over the fact that it's mine.

Now, I just need to pull together enough resources to actually spruce the place up a bit more, and THEN...Then I can look into expanding. For now, though, it's a place to call my own and to store my various goodies! Not that I have very many; most of the garbage I looted off the Vampires and Bandits I've had to deal with went right to a merchant. Helped pay for the house, at that!
