The bath house idea was not what the lead was looking for, so I scrapped the idea and used his suggestions to go in a new direction. There's a story about a dwarf that builds safe spaces and saunas as he journeys through the layers of hell in the name of Eir. He is based on a Buddhist priest named Enuk who carved statues around Japan to honor the fallen soldiers there. With that in mind I took a chance with a more stylized building, since it is of dwarfish construction and not Nordic. I created the hut imagining how it would have been built, using the resources around Helhiem (trees, stones, etc.) and used multiple designs of saunas to create the fireplace. The basic idea is creating a fire to heat up the rocks and coals around it and then water can be thrown around the fire to create steam. Other objects in the hut are for fire maintenance.
