Wardens Rest

Recently I purchased a home in a place called Wardens Rest. Regretfully the domicile is in a uninhabitable state, though the potential of the property is promising.

I am reaching out to others for two purposes.

First, I am incredibly curious about the history surrounding my new home. If anyone could provide me a map I would be so very grateful!

Secondly, I will need to gather resources and find skilled craftsmen to aid in its restoration and expansion. My intention is to utilize this place as a orphanage. I am looking for suggestions as to good materials to utilize in this project, though I am currently focused on merely acquiring wood and stone raw materials.

Considering my less than impressive bank account, I am offering sweets in exchange for these resources. (Although donations will of course be appreciated!)

I am willing to exchange 4 cupcakes or Quinarian Kisses for 5 raw materials.

I am willing to exchange 1 peanutbuttercup cookie for 25 raw materials.

Once I have the materials I will be seeking craftsmen to perform the work on my home, though I am open to advisement and guidance concerning proper improvements for the children.

HAY NAYBOR,

WHIL I THINK ON THAT PLOT YE BOUGHT UP, IMMA SEE WHAT I CAN GET SENT OVER YER WAY.

WORRY NOT ON PAYEMENT WIT ANY MANNER O CONFECTION- INSTEAD LES' WORRY TOGETHER BOUT GETTIN A ROOF SOLID ENOUGH TO DETER NIGHT BEASTS

YER NAYBOR,

Serr Bell,

I am delighted by your offer of aid! I most certainly would appreciate any sort of advice you may be able to give as well. When the young ones move into this place, I want it to be as safe as possible. I imagine some may have fears after living through the horrors of the civil war and losing their families.

I expect to have a floorplan drawn up of the current building, along with a listing of the concerns and damages, soon. After that I mean to begin planning for proper expansions to the property. I think a playground is required at some point. I wish to install a swimming area too, but I am concerned there could be risks involved.

Maybe its just the flusters of being a unexpected mother. Pay this rambling no heed please!

Unless you're Klarington Everest, rambling is better than saying too little. It's one of the worst problems in this town, even compared to some monstrous threats, when folk restrain themselves from honesty.

What a curious phrasing that is. ‘Restrain themselves from honesty’ I am having a difficult time imagining why one would do such a thing. Unless it were some misguided attempt to spare someones feelings I imagine? That being said, I appreciate your reassurance in my own temporary loss of control concerning my thoughts. I do suppose I did offer more insight to my daydreaming plans for the place, which can be conducive to convincing others to aid in my endeavors.

Vasryn,

As we come to know each other, you'll find I wax poetic more often than many--as often as others, perhaps involuntarily, restrain themselves from honesty. What I mean is sometimes, townsmembers are less open with their thoughts than one might hope.
