💬  Take a good look at your masterpiece and then interpret it for us.
(For those of you who are art enthusiasts, we'd like to hear your expert critique!)

[Tempeşt] ill start from the left it feels like a merge old and new, the shell means dark past as i see it, the one at the bottom the sea, middle top building a future, top right the identinty of the otters, far right peace bottom one is land, thats how i see it

[Tempeşt] the manor ofc its big and you can add lots of things to it sadly theres not alot of items you can add to the mano i already got all the manor items even the shai stage
the rest of the houses for me is for crafting and buffing for farming

💬  What do you normally do at your Manor/Residence and how much time do you spend there?

[Tempeşt] the manor has lots of options to it set and look around the items i worked hard on i don't spend a lot of time there i just look around for anything missing and i just go and get it i feel its the best thing to do
