Sid,
we now have a few houses all together in three places on the LA shard. The easiest to get to is the UOF Crossroads. There is nomrally someone there to help, plus our neighbor Leonilla.

To get there, go to any moongate. Click on Malas. Click on Umbra. Go northwest to the bridge across. You will be on a road. You will see houses lining the left side of the road. Go south between them, and we are the second row away from the road. My store is called Paul Mart (click on house sign).

We actually have 3 houses there, and 6 total in the area.
