Location Wastes Cottage

[Ablation]

The Wastes Cottage The Wastes Cottage, like the name states, is a small cottage of ice stone built in the wastes. It's nowhere near as large as an Arvinta, but instead is the perfect size to fit it's two permanent residents. It blends in well with its surroundings, the outside walls moving smoothly into the ground, and always covered with fresh snow. The only feature that separates it from an odd hill is the entrance, which is flat and tall, with a pair of sturdy wooden doors leading inside the construction. Inside, there are three main rooms, one larger than the other two. The largest takes up the main portion of the cottage, and sits right next to the entrance. It serves as a generic lounge, work space, and kitchen. It's full of sturdy ice stone chairs and tables, all cluttered with various items. Small game and herbs are hung from the ceiling to dry, and the amount gives the room a slightly cramped feeling, despite it's size. The other two rooms are simple bedrooms, with a much larger bed in one than the other. All the spaces are brightly lit with storm gems rather than candles, to prevent any damage to the walls and furniture. The two residents, a Jamoura and a Kelvic from the Spires, prefer to live far from the city, despite the dangers. However, though this is a private home, the pair always welcome visitors, who come for knowledge, or just a general chat. They have amassed a few constant friends among the Vanthas, who on occasion take the journey out of the walls for a cup of tea or chocolate and company. The pair built the cottage in around 509 AV, to have an isolated place to live other than Avanthal. Both hail from the Spires, one an avid herbalist, the other a hunter and phylonurist. They moved up North from their home, mostly because the latter's biome was that of the arctic, forcing her to live in the Wastes. Shara : Name: Shara Race: Jamoura Date of Birth: 10 AV, Winter 14th Place of Birth: The Spires Title/Occupation: Herbalist, Bondmate of Mia Skills: Herbalism - 52, Philtering - 33, Foraging - 18, Wilderness Survival - 48, Medicing - 43 Gnosis: N/A Personality/History: Shara is a kind soul, always welcome to showing her creations to anyone who asks, and giving them to those in need. She is always up for a chat, her large but motherly demeanor comforting almost anyone. She is an avid herbalist, always enjoying creating new concoctions, and always appreciates new plants to work with. Sometimes they are brought by her bond mate, but she will always accept an offering from a Vantha, and, if it's something particularly rare, she may give something in return. She has been known to occasionally take various medicines to the Whitevine Healing Center, if she gets word of someone with a bad condition, and knows how to solve it. She is always up for teaching a novice to herbalism some basics. Mia : Name: Mia Race: Kelvic, Frosthawk Date of Birth: 507 AV, Spring 58th Place of Birth: The Spires Title/Occupation: Phylonurist, Hunter, Bondmate of Shara Skills: Hunting - 41, Observation - 24, Flying - 36, Wilderness Survival - 60 Gnosis: 1 Polynura Personality/History: Mia is more blunt, and slightly less friendly than her bondmate, but their connection has softened her slightly. She spends a lot of her time out and about, flying, hunting, or searching for rare herbs for Shara. Still, if she spends an equal amount of time at home, enjoying the Jamoura's company, and occasionally speaking to a visitor. If some one asks, very, very politely, she may give them lessons in hunting. ~Created by Spirit Frostfawn Moderator's NotePlease PM an ST if you wish to have some lessons with either Shara or Mia.This location is 7 days journey from Avanthal and is mainly used by the Icewatch as a resting place. However, some hunter at the Savant Lodge may know of it too (though who does is only known by a select few).
