Written by Knight Realms (kradmin)

This catalog contains a list of all of the buildings that can be constructed in a settlement within the Knight Realms Land System. Each building is defined in an information block with the following fields:

  • Type – Civic or Private.

    A Civic building is one that can only be owned and operated by the lord of the estate and which generally provides some kind of public service, such as housing soldiers, hearing lawsuits, or storing food. Civic buildings can be financed with private assistance and the lord of the estate can enter in a wide variety of agreements with financiers to gain this assistance, but the title to the building cannot lawfully be held by anyone other than the lord of the estate.

    A Private building is one that can be owned and operated by anyone that the lord of the estate permits and which generally produces goods, entertainment, or services in the manner of a profitable enterprise.
  • Category – buildings are grouped into categories with other buildings that serve the same function. Buildings within a category often serve as pre-requisites to more advanced buildings in the same category, and those more advanced buildings sometimes completely replace the predecessor.
  • Limit – many buildings, especially civic buildings, can only be constructed a limited number of times. This limit can be per settlement, per estate, or even across the entire Barony.
  • Description – a brief description of the building’s function and most common form of construction. The information in this field is purely illustrative and does not have any bearing on the rules that define it.
  • Benefits – a general summary of the building’s positive effects on its settlement.
  • Detriments – some buildings have secondary effects on their settlements that are negative.
  • Population – the minimum population of a settlement required to construct the building there. If the settlement falls below the minimum threshold after construction this building cannot be maintained; it will continue to function until the next time that maintenance is due.
  • Buildings – the buildings that must already exist in the settlement before this one can be constructed. If a pre-requisite building (that is not replaced by a more advanced building of the same category) is not maintained or is destroyed, this building cannot be maintained; it will continue to function until the next time that maintenance is due.
  • Replaces – the building that is replaced with this one when construction is complete, if any.
  • Costs – the average cost of construction in gold pieces, labor points, and lumber and stone units. The gold piece cost that is shown is the total of the labor and materials costs.
  • Maintenance – the average cost of maintaining the building in gold pieces and labor points. Monetary maintenance must be paid annually for civic buildings and monthly for private buildings; labor maintenance is a monthly reduction in the settlement’s available labor pool.

Government Buildings

Buildings in the Government category provide settlements with fixed centers of political and judicial authority. The symbolic nature of these buildings in terms of the commitment between lord and subject that they represent, combined with the practical benefits of local access to legal judgments, make them powerful tools in the maintenance of public order.

Manor House
Type Civic Category Government Limit 1 per settlement
Description Although it is the lowest building in its category, the Manor House is a significant building that establishes a bond between the people of a settlement and their lord. A Manor House is not merely a residence for the lord, but is typically staffed by one or more civil servants who can assist commoners with many basic legal matters such as the certification of marriages and the registering of wills.
Benefits Provides a significant bonus to Public Order. As a settlement grows in population, the Manor House’s effectiveness will diminish, and adding a Common Courthouse should be considered.
Detriments None.

Palace
Type Civic Category Government Limit 1 per estate
Description The Palace is a building that projects wealth, power, and accomplishment in a remarkable, sometimes ostentatious, manner. Although its astounding luxury would seem designed to alienate and anger the common man, in reality the presence of a Palace in a settlement is almost always a source of pride and esteem for the people who dwell and toil in its considerable shadow. It is, after all, the ultimate commitment of a lord to his people.
Benefits Provides massive bonuses to Public Order and GDP. The sharp increase in GDP is attributed to the economic boom that accompanies such profound centralization of political power.
Detriments Due to envy, the Palace causes a minor penalty to Public Order in all other settlements in the estate.

Buildings in the Religion category provide settlements with places of worship. Religious buildings can be dedicated to the light or dark pantheons or to a specific neutral deity. Light and Dark pantheon buildings are sometimes devoted to a particular deity, but any member of the pantheon will receive prayers from such a building. Since the dark pantheon is outlawed, their buildings are typically secret locations that are unknown to the lord of the estate.
