Description
The first settlement
1. The Slope house, when the ground slopes lightly under this building, therefore it has gotten a somewhat secondary status. Here lives the eldest son of the matriarch with his family and the first grandchildren,
2. The Cliff house, the matriarch's house with her three younger children. The house is identical to the slope house, but is more richly furnished.
3. The Crane, most like a big fishing pole, with a rope running through a loop at its tip. With this rig you can easily lower a bucket into the river below without hitting the rocks below.
4. The Watchtower, located on the northern edge of the cliff, it gives a good view of the slope, the fishing huts and upstream along the river.
5. The Fireplace, the two cabins are a little low to allow an open fire lick against the flammable ceilings. Instead they have to settle for the central fireplace, where most of the meals are prepared and also function as a local gathering place.
6. Palisade, a poled defense against intruders, based with stacked stones for increased stability. The tilting gate is mostly unattended and installed.
7. The traders road, leading down to the river ford a quarter of a day's hike north west, there it branches towards the nearest two settlements that are in good time willing to trade barter.
8. The log cut staircase, a shorter path down the ridge, with spare logs from the palisade building, the staircase is a safe and well-used shortcut.
9. The small boat, The brothers' fast transport is more like a canoe and is mainly used for short trips.
10. The big brother's cottage, well-cleaned and organized with each thing in its place, the cabin is quite sparse in its execution.
11. The New House, The recently arrived family descended from the north has been welcomed with strong optimism, their modern innovations have revived the small settlement, and who could have imagined a living fire inside!
12. The little brother's cabin, even though it is very similar to other, the interior is a completely different story. Here the inspiration allowed to flow with painted timber walls and trophies adorning the smallest surface. A slightly pungent smell also wafts from the fermented clay vessels from under the cottage floor.
13. Fish drying scaffold, Although the climate allows for fishing during all seasons of the year and there is no need for the villagers to starve during the winter months, the dried fish still provide a good source of barter for the necessities they can not provide themselves with.
14. The large boat, a more practical boat to fish in, it's big enough that both brothers can help to get the filled nets out of the water.
15. Net maintenance, the younger brother spend a lot of time between their outings on mending, cleaning and unraveling up their nets.
16. Embankment, in order to maintain the calm waters at the river bank around the cottages, it requires continuous maintenance of the artificial embankment on the other shore.
