Housing:
There are 2 types of housing in the land where the Erenderiels’ lives: tents and houses.
The tents are for the rabbi Erenderiels’ as they move around the eastern part of Grand Edenia frequently. It is made of sheep’s or goats’ wool that is woven in rectangular strips. Wooden mallets and tent pegs are used to set up the structure of the tent. When they have to move, they will take them down, fold and stow for travelling. The tents are made up of 2 sections: front and back.
The purpose is for different reasons, the front part is a public area where anyone can walk in. The rabbi will use this area to communicate with the people and have meals with them. The front part will be left open only when the weather is warm. The back part is for the rabbi to have discussions and lead their own private life.
The houses are for the rest of the Erenderiels’ as they will not have to move from one location to another. Stone, straws and mud are use to build the houses. The size and height of the houses depends on the authority of the people.
