The Pod Village

Pod People guard their villages with long staffs in a challenging gesture.

When first entering the village you emerge into a clearing.  In the center of it are several long houses.  The convex outer shell of each house is formed from the seed pod of some gigantic plant, split down the middle and laid flat to the ground, thus raising a striated dome.  Doorways, windows, and chimneys have been neatly carved out and framed in wood.  Through these apertures a cheerful firelight shines from each house.  Everywhere, people can be seen bustling around, within and between their houses.

The interior of the houses are furnished with absolute simplicity.  Nothing is decorative; everything serves a purpose.  The furniture is solid.  What beauty it has is the beauty of both usefulness and usage.  The chairs, the tables, the platters and spoons, all are made of wood, and shine with the rich patina of age and handling.
