Stendhal Houses
The Housing Agent Barrett Holmes has provided us with the following information for prospective house buyers:
- Buyers must be recommended by the monarchy of Kalavan
- Requests from juvenile house buyers will not be entertained
- A new house costs 100,000 money. For this price you receive:
- A key
- The ability to buy spare keys
- A safe place to leave your sheep or pet
- Each person may own only one house
You need to know the house number you want so you can ask Barrett Holmes about it. The house number is on the front of the house, on a small sign. For example, the house below is number 21:

SpareKeys
Spare keys cost 1,000 money each. You can give spare keys to your spouse or closest friends. Remember that anyone with a key has free access to your house, including items in your chest. Once you have bought a house you can buy spare keys for that house only.
You may end up carrying more than one house key. For example, if you own a house, and you have a friend who gives you a spare key to a house they own. But don't worry, you can still keep track of which key is which! Just Look on the key and you will see each has a number which matches the number of the house it unlocks.
Selling Houses
At present there is no locksmith on Faiumoni. As the original buyer retains the right to buy spare keys for his house, it is therefore impossible to sell a house to someone else. The original buyer will always be able to buy spare keys and thus get into the house. However, new tradesmen do arrive on Faiumoni regularly, and thus it may be possible to change locks on houses at some point in the future. If someone offers to sell you their house, they are likely to be cheating you, as they can still always buy keys themself.
Chest
In the future all houses will be equipped with a chest (even previously bought houses) which anyone who can access the house, can use. However, stocks on making new chests are low, so while we await supplies there is no storage facility available.
Below are detailed drawings of the inside of each house in Kalavan City. To see if one you like is available, ask Barrett Holmes about the cost of a new house and then tell him the number. He will check his records to see if the house is taken, or not.

Future Developments
Building contractors Blookim & Co have obtained the rights to build more developments east of Kalavan City. They have also purchased empty houses in other cities and and presently redecorating them so that they are fit for habitation. Thus in the near future there will be more than these 25 houses available to purchase. Note however that since demand for housing is high, ownership of second homes is not allowed.
