        "complete": "After passing time in Harvest Den, Stoic Alder invited me north to visit a former homestead of his. Initially, I was surprised by the rundown state in which he'd kept his property. However, the reason soon became painfully clear. It once served as the Claw's family home but was left to fall into disrepair after the passing of Silken Weir, Alder's mate and Poky's mother. Weir joined efforts in the north to halt Jormag's rising, tragically resulting in the loss of her life.\n\nThough I've known the Claw and his son for only a brief time, it's difficult to not be moved by their plight. I claim no expertise on matters of the heart, but I do know that a loss of that scale never truly heals. And in regards to Poised Arrow, a loss at a very impressionable age. I admit that, despite his at-times-abrasive antics and lackadaisical attitude toward responsibility, Poised Arrow is remarkably strong. Already life has taken a great deal from him. Still, he holds his head high and brings light to those around him.\n\nI put in some overdue maintenance on the homestead to help ease the family's burden. Though I expected nothing in return, Stoic Alder rewarded me with a generosity I was not prepared for. He gifted me the homestead! I recognize that the place likely seems more an emotional burden to him than an asset, but the extravagance of the gift is not to be overlooked. I can't help but wonder if the gesture was in part diplomatically motivated. Regardless... I have my own home! A notion I never thought possible. In fact, the thought of settling in one place had scarce occurred to me. But after years of venturing, having a place to put my feet up sounds quite nice. Now, if only I had something to rest my feet upon...\n\n***"

        "active": "Learn crafting skills.",
        "complete": "Per Stoic Alder's advice, I paid a visit to the town's Homestead Master, Deft Lahar. The visit started off...rocky. Lahar was none too pleased that I was tasked with fixing Alder's homestead instead of him, what with me being a visitor and Lahar a longtime friend. Though I suspect Alder felt more comfortable outsourcing the task to a near stranger, weighty as it was. Fortunately for me, Lahar soon lowered his guard after I proved myself capable of hard work. His trust earned me instruction on how to build my very first home furnishing: a bed. Something that will be plenty useful, I'm sure!\n\nI was also introduced to his mate, Patient Willow, a highly skilled weaver. The pair certainly make for an interesting match, though their areas of expertise do complement each other. Willow taught me a traditional weaving pattern for a blanket to adorn my new bed. Apparently, the blanket's imagery is representative of \"new beginnings.\" Fitting symbolism, indeed.\n\n***"

        "complete": "I returned to Stoic Ald—my homestead following my visit with Deft Lahar and Patient Willow. After getting the bed and blanket together, Stoic Alder and Poised Arrow seemed rather impressed by my handiwork. Alder was particularly intrigued by Willow's choice of weaving pattern, which seem to stir some memories in him. However, there was little time for reflection. Fading Aurora stopped by, looking for me on account of Barbed Vale. I'm apparently needed at the hunting outpost. As for why, I'm not entirely clear, but I'll be heading there soon to find out. For now, I've made it clear to Alder and Poky that my new homestead will always remain open to them. Still, I think they'd appreciate a moment to themselves to tell the place good-bye, if only symbolically. I've got plenty to keep me busy in the meantime."
