Dindan cottage

A Dindan Cottage, known more commonly as simply Dindans, is an originally Koranelan structure consisting of several cottages placed adjacent to each other with underground pathways connecting each other, typically with large living spaces underground as well. Dindans most commonly have 2-3 floors underground and just 1 above. The concept of Dindans were originally created as a way to escape the cold conditions during the first colonization of the peninsula by the Myrish in the 17th-18th centuries, and the style of building has since been modernized and can be seen being used as apartments or condominiums in densely populated areas.

Dindans are most commonly seen in Koranel, however, the style of building has since been spread to other regions, such as Gladomyr in Alutra and the Oriqe province in Riyata. A holiday dindan is a smaller version of the same concept, usually built as a temporary home for people to stay at during a certain season or holiday.

A traditional dindan can fit up to 9 families, however more modern dindans are known to house up to 20. Dindans are also used for commercial purposes, sometimes being renovated into a pub or cafe. The underground feature is also popular in areas that see frequent violent storms or snowfall.
