Do those faces in the wind/water tie into Mythology? LOL. Posideon/Neptune perhaps?

True. It was believed that these 'faces' were G-d, or 'holy watchers' i.e the fallen angels from the time of the Flood or the gods and goddesses of Greek myth. I'd used them in my tapestry work from time to time.

Not so much Poseidon/Neptune as the gods of the winds, in Greek, the Anemoi. The main ones were Boreas (North Wind), Notus (South), Eurus (East) and Zephyrus (West). The Roman gods had different names but were similar. See Wikipedia if you are interested.

I was looking at the picture again. I could be wrong, but could it be that the villiages will be going in and out of the castle/fort? (by the way I love castles). If so, that means more adventures and maybe meaning and/or interacting with other tribes. Another guess. Could the closet/chimmy be attached to a wall of the cave in VV1. Or maby one of the many chamblers inside the cave itself? Inquiring minds what to know....
