Dweel Mounds

Dweel Mounds are the old, traditional dwellings of the Nevelost. The mounds themselves are constructed of mud and thatch, which would harden in the sun. They are not the most inviting of dwellings, but they well served the nomadic nature of the Nevelost, being easy to construct from readily available natural materials in a short amount of time to serve as a temporary shelter or a more established residence if necessary.

The largest Dweel Mounds were found in the Grove of Merrigold, which served as little more than a wayfarers' rest after the tragedy of the War of the Encients until Mollpontius (tired of all their whimpering) declared that the capital city of the Nevelost would be built there. Wandering Nevelost would often claim an unoccupied Dweel Mound for a few nights' stay, and having to share was not an uncommon situation. As such, these mounds were often decorated with small crafts that the ephemeral tenants left behind to spruce up the place. Generally they were comfortable places to shelter in for a few evenings; even the most vile of Nevelost travelers simply left the place smelling of lavender and hollyhock.
