Building personal houses

You can build yourself a home in the suburb of one of the home cities.

A "home" consists of those rooms that lie behind a locked door, accessible only to you personally, your guests, and those you have entrusted with a key to the front door. Entering the home with your alternate character (alt) is not possible -- a key is needed. When building, payment is charged only for such rooms; all the surrounding space is built for free.

All rooms behind the locked door are safe, and cannot be entered accidentally. The door itself cannot be picked or passed through. Keys to your home can be purchased from the locksmith in Midgaard (see also help keys). Limited items lying on the floor inside the house will disappear within a minute. Inside homes, summoned creatures (panthers, golems) will not vanish even if the owner has lost the ability to create them.

House owners can pray to be transported home, see help home.

A building application is submitted as a letter or note to the gods; details in help building application.

Rooms around the house (not behind the locked door) and adjacent parts of the suburb are always built for free, so let your imagination run wild.

If you have helped the world: translated an area, built an area, worked as a cartographer -- then all rooms even behind the locked door will be free for you. In that case you only pay for furniture, fountains, and pets.
