But some of the things you mentioned for her plans sounded fairly ambitious, sounded to me like you planned to have her going into some serious business with all sorts of herbal-based things. Establishing a ... "brand name" might eventually necessitate some fancy packaging and such so I thought I might as well mention now how expensive that can get.<br/><br/>As for her workshop, here's how I figure things might look:<br/><br/>The family has a fairly large house, currently occupied by the parents, the grandmother, the brother and his wife, plus the two girls.<br/><br/>(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/e/e8/KirborgAbhainnHouse.jpg)<br/>(The girls sleep in the loft. When the kids were young, most of them slept in the loft, then the oldest children moved into the room next to the parents' room, then the married brother moved in their when the other brothers left the house.)<br/><br/>Opposite the hose is a barn/workshop/stable building:<br/>(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/a/a7/KirborgAbhainnBarn.jpg)<br/><br/>I figure this is where your druid might have her workshop, working in the storage area, drying herbs under the roof (if not in the space she shares with her sister in the main house).<br/><br/>The actual workshop is something I'd rather give to the brother. I figure the family for mostly typical farmers/herders, but either the father or the brother should have a craft skill. Something that might work well would be Thatcher. The river is close by, providing a source of reeds, and a thatcher is something the village might need.<br/><br/>The family lives next door to the temple, with a pigsty behind the house, some vegetable gardens just west of it, and a barn for use by both the Abhainne family and the temple also close:<br/>(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/4/45/KirborgEhlonnaTempleArea.jpg)<br/><br/>What I figure here is the family mostly being herders, with farming/gardening done just for personal use but not to generate a saleable surplus. The nearby woods make good grounds for feeding pigs, and the meadows down by the river might be too wet for farming, but could make for good grazing (meaning the stable is home to perhaps half a dozen cows, where a typical family might keep just one, maybe two, for their personal use).<br/><br/>How does that sound to you?
