We all went into the spacious walls of the inn and had a look around. Once we’d seen enough to get a feel for everything—and being that we had the whole inn to ourselves—we decided on a room on the first floor near the entrance.

Inside, the room had carpet covering the floor, with tables and chairs and other finely crafted furniture neatly arranged about it. There was also that same interesting arch shape that I’d noticed when I looked at the rooms from outside. The stone arch wasn’t all that high, and I had to hunch over a little to pass through it, but when I did I found myself in a room with a stove in it. It felt completely different to the previous room.

I worked out that the arches essentially acted like doors between the rooms. Past the arch from the stove room to the entrance was an arch that led to some beds, and on the right was an arch that led to a dining room. To the left, however, was a mighty puzzling space indeed.

There wasn’t a single piece of furniture in the left room, or any carpet. On the floor was a strange rectangular shaped space made from brick with a hole in one corner. I rubbed my chin and wondered what this room was for, and that was when the twins came running into the room with Aymer.

“This is a room for bathing,” said Aymer. “You’ll find rooms like this in Eldan’s manor too. I’ve used them a number of times. There’s a metal fitting over the arch entrance where you hang a curtain or piece of fabric for privacy, and then you use the water that is brought to you to wash your body. That water goes down the hole over there and joins the flow of sewer water. The hole is connected to a flow of water underground, so it goes straight to the river.”

“Well now...that is quite the contraption,” I said. “And is that underground waterflow a natural occurrence?”

I knelt down by the hole in the floor and tried to peek down to get a better look while Aymer filled me in.

“Oh no, it’s man made, just like the wells. It’s probably best to think of the water flow as a well dug sideways. It starts at the mountain which is the source of water, and travels all the way through the ground to provide drinking water and water for farming. The water pulled from the mountain is a different channel to the sewer water. This ensures that the drinking water stays hygienic and safe to drink.”

She continued, “This place also makes use of wind power, so to speak. The flow of the wind helps to power devices called windcatchers. Look, you can see them on the four corners of the wall. They essentially ‘catch’ strong gusts of wind and send a cool breeze from the basement through to other rooms. It’s a cooler season at present, so the holes that
