As it wasn't raining, and therefore people could finally work on putting roofs and doors of the houses she'd built– she left the matter of assigning which families got the houses to Rian, as she didn't care– Lori could finally stay in her nice, cool cave instead of working in the hot, sunny, humid outdoors, and develop he...

Wood was cut. The kitchen got real walls, and then the walls became raised stone, so the wood was used for a proper roof, and then the dimensions were expanded to be able to seat nearly everyone. Tables and chairs were made. A washi...

A lot of the stories commoners told were of ordinary folk somehow stumbling into a Dungeon and claiming it in ignorance or by accident, becoming mighty and powerful in the process....
