The structure is simultaneously strong and portable. The stretched canvas is suppled and soft life calfs skin, but keeps the heat at bay and the chills of the night out. Circular in design, there are no corners, all inhabitants are equal. With a small flap for a door the entrance looks fit for a child, while the whole tent looks as though it could fit a family of ten.

I am a role model for my children. I provide for the family with meat and I keep a roof over their heads. I am stability to the family, and keep things together and provide safety to my children.
What makes you think he'll listen to me? I'm just a nobody in his eyes.  You are the father of his chief wife, the first of all his wives!  All know of your prowess in battle and you wisdom in dealing with the wall-dwellers.  He has to at least listen to you, or else the other chiefs of the tribes will start to have doubts. These hands can do much, that much is true. But I've never been much with words. I can try, however.  My foolish husband is seeking to treat with the wall-dweller's king, Molag Bal.  But all know of this leader's treachery, especially with his allies.  But my husband is lured by false promises of gold and riches.  As if any proud member of our tribe has need of such things! I don't like to hear that. Not at all. To this, I may be able to speak. I frown on the idea of living only for riches.  He wants for nothing!  I should know, I see to his household and keep the other wives in line.  Just this past fortnight he brought this new girl into the fold, who is quite useful with weaving as well. I bet I can tempt him elsewhere, then. Concubine, would you like to come see the king with me? She's a bit shy and slow of speech.  She's been quite tractable so far though.  Just look that this fan she painted for me the other day. That is wonderful work. If I were the king, I'd put her in charge of decor. Beautiful *and* useful.  Just what this harem needs. So, how much gold exactly is the king being offered by this Molag? Gold is apparently just the start.  Molag offers my husband power as well, in the form of some dark magic that he won't tell me about.  I've only heard the bit "soul gems" when I was listening in once, which smacks of forbidden dark magic.
