Baronies

Player Characters who have built a Stronghold in the Wilderness can control the surrounding land, thus creating a Barony. They must first clear the land of hostile Creatures in the following way:

1. The Player Character moves a force to a hex.

2. The Referee determines if there is a Creature Encounter by using the Wandering Creatures section of the Wilderness Exploration rules.

   • If there is an Encounter, the Player Character’s force must remove the Creature(s).

   • If no Creature is encountered, the hex is already counted as cleared.

Hexes up to a distance of 4 from a stronghold can be cleared.

Once cleared, the land is kept clear of Creatures by the inhabitants of the Stronghold.

Within a Baronie’s land there will be 2d4 villages. Each village will have 1d4*100 inhabitants.

Income for a Barony is a tax of 10 Gold Pieces per inhabitant of the Barony per game year.
