So I fast travelled back to my newly built house and appeared right in an ambush of 3 bandits who apparently had a pet dragon they brought along. Long story short, my housecarl, steward and I fended them off. However, the steward was killed.
I didn't want to mess around so I reloaded a save. But I was wondering, what happens if the steward dies? Can you replace them? If anyone knows, then thanks in advance.
