I think the main feature, aside from availability of the building material, is
resistance to fire.

Sod houses are for homesteaders. In Indian country, or, in this case,
Droolbane territory

OOC: Sorry, didn't mean to cause an issue, I was just trying to make sure
Observation Hill was actually Overwatch Hill.
Were Sean in the Cove, he would remind Hagar that the land is a tool for the
Lord of the land to dole out as necessary to whomsoever for whatsoever purpose
the Lord wishes. If Hagar wishes Groondeack to have a
cave/hovel/shrine/mine/whatever in Overwatch Hill, then Hagar should allow it.
Sean isn't even sure he can convince Tina to move here (though he's pretty sure
he can). Having Groondeack may well be a boon for immigration of dwarves from
Stoddard, which is probably worth it. Certainly worth more than a crazy assed
young human ranger who gets stir crazy every six weeks or so and probably adds
nothing to the desirability of the Cove as a settlement location.

Well, true many parts of Dugal Cove have been spoken for. The use of my
Dwarven builders and your final spot will have to be negotiated with the
council to when the Dwarves can be adjusted to tackle your building needs and
to the loction. I wish to serve the gods too and help enlighten your commune
so be patient but in the mean time I can secure a secluded space within the
caves or let you find a temporry resting spot plus your are free to wonder the
cove lands to gather with the gods until time. Fret not, this place is tame
but wild enough to serve your needs. Ever want to kill Goblins let me know
they are like ants and we can always rustle some up. and grins

“Um, I think my ranger comrade has already called dibs on that particular
piece of land on what we call Overwatch Hill , future residence of him and his
wife and future children. You will probably have to wait until Sean gets back
and clarify with him exactly where you mean to carve your home. He’s had much
more stake in all this than you have Grundeack. I have still yet to determine a
good defensible place for a temple to Artor. Doesn’t seem appropriate to be
holed up in a cave as a long term location for his temple even though the caves
would be fairly secure. A means of letting sunlight and life into the place
might make it more appealing. Making a portion of the caverns less cave like
might make Hagar’s holdings more appealing by elven standards. Think Artor
wanted a shrine to him placed in the area where the nasty one’s shrine once
was. A connecting hospital similar to the one in RL along with elegant living
quarters fashioned out of a portion. I have a bride to be as well even if she
is only an intended. Hole in the ground would not be her idea of a place to
call home.

He would like to build it near your observation hill, so he can see the river
and the sea.
