Leon decided that the growing family needed a proper place to live, so he started immediately as his wife rested. Once again, they tried to have a baby and another baby was stillborn. She rested another year, and tried for one final child and another baby boy was born. Leon continued to lumber as the family attempted to farm their large fields, but most of the gold came from the logs. With so much construction occurring, the logs brought premium prices.
The family took a year long vacation to rest and recover, and while the townsfolk first thought this was strange, all the members of House Fenix made friends that will last a lifetime. Overall, everyone is pretty happy - there definitely could be more gold in the family coffers but they definitely didn't suffer this time around.

Day in and day out, the carpenters build the small shop, gathering lumber at a slow pace while Magnum and Speciosam shiver in the tattered campsite. After being bedridden for a year, Fillium makes some recovery and grows up to be a weak teenager. It is fortunate he survived.
Speciosam opens the first business in town , and struggles for several years. The first few projects she works on goes at a painfully slow pace, and the raw materials available to her are of such poor quality she almost gives up. But as time passes, more people come into the town and the coin starts to trickle in. She's still not entirely sure she wouldn't be better off farming, but seeing most of the town wear shirts made out of her fabric is pleasing. Her business has reached it's limit of profitability as the family living inside the shop has basically kept her from working during the winter, the time of highest cloth demand.
Although he lacks the physical prowess, Fillium is sent to an apprenticeship with a metalsmith.
