Zalaia's Cabin

Zalaia Dahl, a dragon-kin who specializes in healing with magic and herbs, a well known apothecary and friend to the king, does most of her work within her home. At first glance, and to the outsider, the cabin seems to be unassuming. But those who spend more time there realize just how special of a building it is.   It is certainly a small cabin, with a living room, a small kitchen, and two rooms off from a small hallway. One room is a master bedroom where she spends most of her nights, though occasionally will use it to assist a patient. Usually, however, she helps, heals, and keeps her patients in the living room.   The living room has a cot in the corner next to the door, as well as a small table with two chairs, and a large fireplace. The fireplace always has a pot or kettle hanging over it, and there is always an assortment of herbs drying on the wall above it. The fire is also special, as it not just a simple fire, but a spirit by the name of Ignia, who has made a deal with Zalaia to live there in the fireplace and keep it burning eternally.   There is a bookshelf or two by the wall leading to the hallway, which is covered in any number of books that Zalaia regularly refers to when going about her apothecary business. The kitchen sits behind the wall the bookshelf is on, and while quaint, consisting of cupboards and a sink and a small ice box, it is always full of projects Zalaia is working on. This is the working station where she creates her infamous concoction known as [@Brew].    Lastly, there is the secondary room - not a single person in existence has ever entered that room, not even Zalaia's most precious partners have ever set foot across the threshold, nor have any of her children. There are whispers among her closest friends and family that it is her storage room where she keeps the many treasures and belongings she has acquired throughout her long life. When something odd, unusual, or special is needed for a job or for someone, she will disappear in there and return with something to get the job done. Some have noticed she will disappear into that room when she needs to be well and truly alone. The door into it is unable to be opened by anyone but her.    The cabin is covered in enchantments that protect it from being robbed, destroyed, water damaged, burned down, or affected by any natural or mortal-made disasters. Even more special - Zalaia is able to shrink the whole building down and tuck it into her satchel, so during her traveling years, she could take it wherever she went across the continent and could continue her business of healing and helping others.    After settling in Galt and getting married to her current partner, Max Augustus, she ended up settling the house on a more permanent property attached to Max's own large home. Years later, it was attached to a new home that she and Max built together.
