Heat Waves in the Satellite Villages

Rowan at this time was uncomfortable with the heat, but he was definitely not suffering. 

The associate villages were doing relatively well, thanks to the knowledge and resources Alterra gave them. This was especially true for the extensions: Iron Mountains and Limestone Valley.

Both these territories also had the advantage of having their warehouse directly controlled by Althea. That was to say: They had a lot of resources.

In both territories, they had set up the Alterra Shop, official shops which sold various products from the Alterra Warehouse. Of course, because Althea had to carry these items herself from warehouse to the outside shed, there was a very huge markup put on each item. 

((These items were blessed by getting carried directly by the Lord herself, even if it was just in her large space, so naturally there was a premium.)) 

Of course, because of the usefulness of the items, people still rushed to buy them all anyway.
