Just downriver from the Dancing Moon Theater, workmen assemble early one morning as deliveries of stone and wood begin to arrive. Some begin excavation of what must be the foundation for a new building as the others unload the wagons and boats. Over the next several days, the foundation is built and the grounds are tended by gardeners, as several persons not belonging to the work force spend time wandering the grounds and speaking with the foremen. Foremost among these is Morrigan Lilly, Heartwarder of Sune.
