Havenhouse

"It was in the woods...and then it wasn't...But it gave us shelter when we needed it."
— Unknown
 

Home to All

  The Havenhouse is one a few known mystery houses scattered across the Eight Lands. All of them are known to travel, the Havenhouse most of all of besides Manorlock. This mystery house in particular is known for its desire to help those in need, by providing shelter and sustenance. You could, in theory, stay within its walls for as long as you need, but when you leave and no longer require it to be there, it will simply move on.   The house itself is one of quite plain construction, usually resembling that of a hunting lodge, or something of similar construction, depending on the area it finds itself in. The interior has all white washed walls, smooth to the touch and never dusty. The lights are simple but functional, with magical flames keeping lit until asked to dim or douse. It holds no more than four bedrooms of decent size, and a well stocked pantry and fireplace. It also contains two bathrooms and any other requirements that may be needed by the residents at the time can be fulfilled by the arcane sending that serves as the interface between the resident and the house itself. Bound only to the house, the sending can't move further than fifty feet from its walls.

  The sending is also of fairly plain styling, keeping to a basic white shirt, green waistcoat, and dark grey pants with leather shoes. Their appearance can change, but widely stays to what is thought to be the favourite of their faces, a proud middle aged man with silver threads of hair amongst the dark brown of the rest.   The last known sighting of the Havenhouse was deep within the Warding Wood, not an uncommon pairing throughout its history as the two work well together. Other sightings have been never less than a few hours outside of small towns and rarely closer than a day from a major one.   With each new placement, the sending enjoys being known by different names, most recently it has taken the name of Jasper.
