Thinking back to the research I had done beforeing back to the game I start to search along the river bank for y-like soil. Further down the river, I notice the soil color changing from a red to a greyish hue. The following instruction on the inte I bend down and touch the soil and notice it had a different texture to the dirt and soil I had previously been walking on. It was glossy and smooth with an almost stic-like texture. I further test out the y by going towards the river and cupping water in my hands and then spreading it over the y wetting it and then digging into it grabbing a handful. I knead the y into a ball and notice that the ball tends to resist breaking as well as feeling sticky. I simile to myself since I had just discovered natural y.


    The next step is to transport and store the y which will be a problem. There is no way to store the y without the use of an air-tight container, the next best thing would be to dig up the y when needed.


    "Well no big deal, let''s make a small stone kiln here and see if I can make a y pot."


    Remembering the tutorials on the inte, I start gatheringrge stones and ce them in a rectangr formation make sure to leave space in the middle for wood. I mixed some mud to secure the rocks on top of one another and continued to pile them around until they were knee height. I made a small hole at the bottom on one side so I could feed it with more wood when needed and another closer to the top where I have ced some t stones between the sides to make a stone bridge. It looked like a two-story house with two holes one at the bottom and one near the top. The roof of the kiln was made using thin t stones as well by covering the sides with mud I eliminated the small gaps.


    I after making the kiln I went back up to HavenFall and gathered some tinder and wood. I lit one of the branches I found on fire and carried it back down to the kiln where I tossed the tinder at the bottom and lit them up with the branch. I slowly fed it with more small sticks slowly increasing the temperature.


    Now it is time to make the y pot. I found another t stone to use as a table and gathered some of the y making sure to wet the surface of the stone before cing the y on top. I kneaded the y together into a ball and started to wedge the y. Wedging is the method to push air out of the y and it is simr to kneading bread dough. cing the y on the stone and pushing down and forwards before picking it up turning it on its side and repeating the steps. I constantly added a little bit of water each time when I felt like the y was bing dry and slowly wedged the y. The less air in the y the better.


    Since it was my first time and I had only seen videos online on the process I did not know when to stop wedging. I kept doing it until I felt satisfied with the job before tearing a piece and ttening it into a circle. This circle is the base for HavenFall''s first y pot. I score the edges with a stick and precede to tear off another piece from the y ball and roll it out into a long sausage shape. I add more y in ces and make sure to keep it wet before scoring it again on one side. I ce the y coil on top of the base and squeezed the ends together to form the full circle. I repeat until I used up all the y and I was able to create a pot 7 coils high which I end up cing to the side in order for it to dry.


    For the rest of day, I kept making different-sized pots and cups while maintaining the kiln''s temperature by adding wood every so often. I had made 11 small cups, 2 small bowls,3rge bowls and 1 small pot using this method. To help with the drying process I ced it near the kiln in direct sunlight until sunset. It was time to fire the y pots. I ce the y cups and bowls on the t rock which I had suspending in the middle of the kiln carefully making sure they do not touch each other and then put in more wood. I went to wash off all the dirt and y and then went back up to the main firece. I could smell the fish cooking and the vegetable broth and after such a hard day''s work, I was famished.


    I talk to Lucina and Robin about the farm and they informed me that they have tilled one section and nted different sized cuts from the potato-like vegetable. They will continue on the second field tomorrow when they wake up. Luke and Oscar had brought old man Hus the material for the wooden pottery wheel with only needing to create the holes and smoothing down the wheel left to do. Howard had got to work by digging the dirt and transporting it to the far side of the cliff edge where David had started to make the mudbricks. Gobi had named the other goblin Gomi and they both were having fun digging the trench with Howard and interacting with the other residents.


    Everyone was doing their part in making HavenFall a better ce and it made me feel warm inside. Before sleeping I made sure to add more wood into the kiln and all that was left was to wait until tomorrow to see the result.


    Tomorrow came faster than normal and the first thing I did was rush to the kiln. I could still feel the heat from the ashes radiating out of the holes and carefully with a long stick, I nudged out the y pots. I could see from the top hole that some pots had burst into small pieces but there were 5 surviving pots. 2 small cups, a small bowl, arge bowl and the small pot had survived the kiln. The moment I held the y pot the familiar blue screen greeted me.


    [ Pottery Technology Completed.]


    There was no reward but the message itself was rewarding. With this, we can create more pots and hopefully createrge kilns to firerger y structures. Once old man Hus has finished with making the pottery wheel there will be no need to create a y pot from using coils the production will be faster as well. Training a goblin to be a potter may even be better since they have smaller hands and longer fingers. New ideas ran through my head but first I needed to wash off the pots. I went to the river and carefully rubbed off the ash on the pot and once it waspleted I see my grayish brown y cup. It was rough to touch and did not look pretty but this is the first step towards civilization.


    I bring up my creation to show old man Hus since he will be creating something simr to this using the pottery wheel.


    "Incredibled. It is very different front the wooden cups I had made. The texture is rougher but it feels more solid. With a little fine-tuning in the design process, you can make any shape for the cup. This is fascinating and you say with this pottery wheel you want me to make I can do something like this?"


    "Old man Hus, with the pottery wheel you can make something even better. You can make it smaller, thinner, taller, wider. You can make it a different shape. There is an endless amount of designs."


    "Well, well, well what are we waiting for? LUKE, OSCAR hurry up and start digging a hole and quickly sand off the bark of the log. Smooth it as quickly as possible I want to get to work as soon as I can!"


    Iugh at the scene. Old man Hus seemed to be acting like a child with a new toy.


    "Old man Hus while the boys do that why don''t I show you where to get the y and how to fire it in the kiln."


    "Lead the wayd!"
