The shruden door is open, but the doorway has a hanging “curtain” of beaded ropes.\u00a0 The beads are all different shapes and sizes, and made from different materials.\u00a0 You think wood\/shrud, stone, bone, plastic, and glass.\u00a0 You push aside the curtain and enter the hut.\u00a0 The inside is a little brighter than out:\u00a0 Many lanterns are situated around the periphery of the room, casting their flickering yellow light in all directions.\u00a0 Many of the lanterns are sitting on or in elaborately carved shruden holders.<\/p>\n

Shelves along the walls hold small carved figurines, pendants, wall decorations, and signs with inset badder runes. You notice a lot of polished stones upon which are carved various symbols and patterns.\u00a0 The following one is most common:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The center of the room has several low tables made of the cross sections of large mushroom stalks.\u00a0 Upon these are larger carved statues.\u00a0 One is a roughly carved abstract pattern of badder hoplites (helmet crests and spears) forming out of grasses, carved from wood.\u00a0 It stands about 3′ tall.<\/p>\n

An elderly badder sits on a woven fiber mat in one corner of the room and works.\u00a0 His claws have been cut very very short, and have sharp tapered points.\u00a0 He has small metal carving tools attached to several fingers, and the points jut out past his natural claws (think mini Freddy Kruger, or the skeksis scientist).\u00a0 Other hand-held tools lie on the mat around him, as well as several more lanterns.\u00a0 He is carving a pattern of vines and flowers into a block of shrud.\u00a0 His fingers tap\/carve the wood in a kind of rhythm (krrick…krrick…krrick…).\u00a0 A younger badder sits nearby the carver and is humming a low constant note, kind of a nasally throaty sound, like the low hum of a bagpipe.<\/p>\n

You walk in, and the older one says in a hissy breathy voice: “Ekar shaana top walkurz.”\u00a0 It sounds a little creepy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
