With Idunn's warm glow shining down on the tower, I gazed out at the surrounding landscape from atop its rooftop while thinking about all the things I would create here if I were ever given a reprieve from one crisis to the next. Once the battlements were renovated, once the walls were up again, what wonders we might build here.
Over by the lake, I would construct an inn with a wharf that pushed out into the water, perfect for those visitors who like to fish. I'd build an aqueduct next to the inn too, ensuring fresh lake water to an entire city.
Yes, a city. I honestly hadn't planned it when I first arrived at the tower, but now after speaking to so many merchants, the possibility of building something that would last appeared inside my mind's eye.
