The Manor House

Every manor has a manor house where the knight and his family reside. It is far superior to the hovels in which the peasants live and has many outbuildings. Normal cost includes whitewashed walls. The furnishings noted are minimal and required, but count as Treasure. Different types and styles of manor house exist. At the start, all beginning player knight manors are Simple Halls, unless otherwise determined by the Gamemaster. The annual cost includes maintaining it, but not improving it. Manor houses can be upgraded, at the costs shown, for improved Glory each year.
