 Welcome to your new Guild House!
 We at Guild Houses Inc. hope you will find your new home to your complete satisfaction. You will find that there are many additional features you can purchase which were not included in the initial purchase price. The reason for this is quite simple: we fooled you and now we want more money.
 For your safety and convenience, magic may only be cast in the bedroom and only prayers work above the altars (which you have yet to pay for). We at Guild Houses Inc. hope this will help keep you safe in your new home and keep down the number of complaints from your neighbors about burning buildings.
-Should you need any additional keys, simply place 500 diamonds on the altar and we will deliver one to you right away. Remember that anyone you give a key to will have complete access to your home, so please be careful when choosing your new roomates.
