Shortly after arriving in Goldenveil, Ethan took the new arrivals to the barracks, dividing them by gender between the many dormitories available.
The children stayed with their mothers in the women's dormitory, naturally.
That would be their home for quite some time, at least until more houses were built.
Fortunately, construction work wouldn't stop during the winter. Quite the contrary.
Working in the cold was difficult, of course, but as long as a blizzard wasn't raging, the men could still manage.
Hunters, guards off duty and even fishermen...
All the Awakened of Goldenveil capable of using aura to keep warm would now focus entirely on building new homes.
With that mobilization, Ethan was certain he could secure shelter for Goldenveil's entire massive population by the start of summer.
At that very moment, the young Lord walked alongside Doran, Garrick, and the other five dwarves, leaving Aerick and the rest of the guard to handle the integration of the new citizens.
