Heya folks, way back we ran an open call for spell pedia entries and you guys came up with some great stuff. Now I'd like to try the same with building entries. Don't worry about the practical effects of the building, we just want to catch a bit of flavor for each of them (buildings that need some practical functions explained will have a paragraph before the flavor paragraphs you guys are supplying).
The trick is to find an interesting paragraph to write about the building that conveys some sort of FfH flavor. It can be a story about something that happened at that building (like a story about a succubus that seduces and kills a man in a public bath) that invovles the building in an important way, some history about the building, or how the building is used differently for a specific civilization (calabim smokehouses dont just have sheep in them).
Be creative, have fun. My reject rate is pretty high so dont put to much of your heart and soul in it. Try to keep it somewhat brief (think of the poor french and german translators) but Id rather have a good story that was a bit longer than one that wasnt as good and brief.
