HNO

Don't blame me, the ideas keep coming to me and I have to write them down somewhere. There's a very good reason people visit Alderberg (it's the only place to gas up between Haven and Prime Meridian, and they'll run out of fuel over open ocean if they don't); since it's a likely layover spot, it struck me that Alderberg ought to have a memorable place for people to stay.

Also, since I doubt googling would bring it up, the Stella Maris statue is Vietnamese because it was inspired by this image:

Actually, many Catholic Orders have hostels which they rent out. Considering the shaping of Bioplastic is easy, I could imagine old style buildings. For example: www.wien.info/en/house-of-the-teutonic-order-132962

Oh, that is very neat.

HNO's irregular-ashlar look was meant as a statement: it's different from the rest of Alderberg because Simon's in Alderberg but not of it. He's an extremely devout weirdo who showed up manhandling a cool guitar and a lifesize statue, both brought from Earth.

Are candles overpriced or how does he finance his hostel? It cannot all be volunteer work, sooner or later some supplier would want to have money, right? It is a weird place to stay and which gives ample atmosphere to the planet, but are there any adventure hooks (apart from alla the obvious ones for any tavern or in in the multiverse)?
