First let me say, I love the new crib. I think it is stupid however that I can "take" any and all gear and pots but have to "steal" all the deathbell.

Does anyone know if there is a vendor in the castle, and if not can we pls get one soon? I would also greatly appreciate a ench/alch/smithing station.

There is a blacksmith and an alchemy store I believe.

There is a vendor in the room to the right of the main dining hall. I he was asleep on the floor behind a bookshelf the first time I found him.
