Manor

The article on Hârnic manors is a new direction for us; a combination rules and environment article. In our experience, fief management is a much neglected part of fantasy role playing which players enjoy once they try it. GM's can use this article at two levels:

1. Using on the Tenant Household routine, and the index of settlements in Atlas Hârnica, the background for any character born in a rural area (most should be) can be generated right down to the level of which houseold the PC is from. Such character detail is always interesting to players and can be helpful to the GM, who can run through the management routine by himself, now and again, generating fate and economic worth for the PC's birthplace and household. Such events may influence the character's future options and decisions. 2. Assuming you have a PC fiefholder or manorial bailiff (how you do this is up to you), most players love to count their pennies and fief management will keep the busy doing just that while you dream up their next quest. Manorial economics are surprisingly complex; the interdepenent details can be overwhelming. Our experience is that a complex "money machine" approach to fief management will not endearyou to your players. We have chosen to simplify the economics in favour of a more personal approach to tennant/lord relationships. Our players love it.
