Marconian Demesne

Overview

The Eagleborne manor, also known as Meregone Manor being a vill is both an agricultural and mining estate. It has tracts of arboreal forest lands, tracts of agricultural land, a rundown village whose inhabitants used to work the mines before being driven off, and a manor house where the lord lives.


This Manor is mainly a wood, with several orchards, some gardens, and a series of small ponds. The ruins of the village indicate that it once had a working windmill, a bakery, a blacksmith and stables. The smelting of ore was never started - as the mine was plagued with problems ever since it opened. However, in all other elements the Manor was largely self-sufficient.

Size and Composition

The Eagle Borne Manor is a huge demesne, originally portioned for a Company of Rangers Known as with 1250 acres per hex, and the total Hexes approximately 7.5 hexes. This is enough for several manors.Total Demesne Size: 9,266 acres. (37.5 square kilometres).


Peasants work the lord's demesne from Telekosia Village for a total of two days a week.


Overview This Manor is based in large part on the Ferrumary  On this manor the hex closest to the Druidic Circle on the other side of the road is designated as a glebe (an area for the express support of the local church).

Tenure-ship/Tenancy Designate

In full the IPEDEM shows:
"The within demesne is parceled "Eques qui per loricam laminis terras suas deserviunt" (literally "A knight who serves his own lands by means of plate armour). As such only a Noble bearing Field or Full Plate may claim lordship over the lands in question. This ensures that the strategically important land parcels of the area can only be controlled by Middle to Upper Upper Class Nobles, as they are the only Warriors who have access to these types of highly specialised armor.
