Resting Room Location: Dimitri has stayed in his small, humble cottage in Springstar - or Old Springstar, rather. The part of the city he was in remained behind and no one has moved him since.
Description: Dimitri is poised in his sitting room in a chair, appearing fast asleep, with his great lance Areadbhar set on the wall. Otherwise, the house is very much as it was when he fell asleep - it's been kept up over the last century or so by a variety of people
Purpose: The visitors are an interesting mix - people from Old Springstar who have heard stories about Dimitri's helping hands in and around the city when he as active and some Legionaries who have heard stories about Dimitri's dedication to the cause and the strength of his lance. As such, he's become sort of a representation of hard work, kindness, strength, and some degree of forthrightness. The soldiers who do come down from Skysong are hoping he'll awaken again and sometimes ask for his advice on certain things. The civilians mostly ask for help with the little things - chores, cleaning, and offer wishes of kindness and hope for a brighter future. He is not deified as much as others - but he is seen as a good luck charm in a lot of ways and although the neighborhood has grown and changed over the century, especially with the movement of Skysong, the house itself (and its garden) are protected and kept up for his return.
Caretaker(s): At first, most of the visitors were friends and followers Dimitri had made during his time leading a group of Legionaries. Many of them were tied into the military and had deep ties to Springstar. Also among them were various people who Dimitri had helped during his long time living in the city and in the neighborhood. He was known, after all, for being willing to do just about anything to help out. The caretakers in the modern day are a mix of the neighborhood locals, who tend to view Dimitri as "their" guardian and good luck charm and visiting descendants of his original legionaries who want to be in touch with the stories their grandparents and parents have told them. This has expanded a bit - his unit was quite fond of him, so there's certainly a small tradition of groups of soldiers coming down to check in on the place. So far, there hasn't been much friction between the soldiers and the locals... but it's not exactly cordial.
Still, they figure Dimitri wouldn't want them squabbling about that kind of thing, so it's mostly under wraps.
