Folks cottage

This is where the Hozz brothers' parents (Llieah and Durand) live. Since Durand can not abide conductive metals, there is no electricity. This also means no metal kitchen stove, pots and pans, lights, etc. Everything would be wood, stone, or ceramic. Pottery candle holders, ceramic bowls over a wood fire. No canned food, no microwave, no metal fire-pokers.

The house itself couldn't use nails, so perhaps it is a half-timber construction on a short foundation wall of stone.

It is possible that there is a remote "mechanical shed" which holds a well, pumps, and a water tower, along with other amenities which Llieah might find useful. Depending on how sensitive to metal Durand is, there could be some technology in one part of the house. If Durand can use magic, there may be some enchanted features as well.
