Additional Comments: Question: Does Wind Reach require shelter? What I mean is, should I take the extra 100 pinions off my character sheet and add some shelter, because I thought that the youth area provided the shelter but I could be mistaken...
The Valintar will provide you with a place to live money free in the Darvina Commons. He'll also put you to work or assign you. I'll have the location up tomorrow so you can post there.

In the mean time just assume you have a small chamber 400 sq feet, in the Commons that's your own.
