Lithmorran Architecture
The main building material for Lithmorran homes is timber, though larger public buildings in the city proper frequently have the benefit of Vandagan artisans who built, for example, the cathedral. Timber forms the main structure of most buildings either way, and wattle the filling. Daub covers the structures and is usually white-washed to prevent the seepage of rain. These basics of Lithmorran construction change with regards to the amount of money available to the owner of the property to build, however, as seen below:
Wealth in homes is displayed by the number of rooms available to those who live within it as well as the type of roofing. Rich homes have wooden or pottery shingles and wood or plaster floors. They may also have several rooms, or even several stories to their home.
Perhaps wiser than the rich, the poor use reed thatching to roof their homes. The waterproof material generally provides better insulation - but the rich can afford firewood more easily. Poor homes, however, are almost always one or two rooms and suffer hard-packed dirt for flooring.
Both rich and poor alike sweeten their homes with flowers and herbs, though rich prefer potpourri to rushes. Likewise, all Lithmorran homes have a hearth.
