Features include furnishings, staff, security elements (such as enchantments and traps), and so on. Furnishings are easy to do — you simply decide how much you wish to spend from the Stronghold Furnishings and Staff table and multiply the cost of your stronghold by the amount shown for its total cost. This multiplier applies to the entire stronghold (you can’t just create a single decadent room to stand in when talking to visitors). Legendary strongholds are truly unique and renowned the world over, and people travel long distances to see them. ### Selling Items You cannot proceed to simply sell off individual items — it’s all part of a general cost—but if you are in desperate need of money you can downgrade your stronghold’s furnishings and recover half the money you spent. ### Staff Staff come with the stronghold and include all household workers and laborers, but not soldiers or special hirelings. The number of staff you have is determined by the quality of the stronghold you’ve chosen and its size (as per the Stronghold Furnishings and Staff table), rounding down (minimum 0). If you change the quality or size of your stronghold, your staff levels increase or decrease accordingly. There is no expectation that all of your staff will be on duty or on the property at a given time. ### Garrison Choosing the garrison feature gives your stronghold a number of soldiers equal to half the stronghold’s staff level. For every 30 soldiers you also gain one veteran, and for every 200 soldiers you gain one knight. At the Narrator’s discretion, other NPCs (or monsters) may be part of your garrison. **A garrison is used to defend a stronghold and cannot be taken adventuring.** ### Stronghold Furnishings and Staff Table | Quality | Cost Multiplier | Staff by Stronghold Size (Structure) | Staff by Rural Size (Land) | | --------- | --------------- | ------------------------------------ | -------------------------- | | Frugal | x1/2 | 1 per 1,000 square feet | 1 per 5 acres | | Average | -- | 1 per 500 square feet | 1 per 2 acres | | Luxurious | x2 | 1 per 100 square feet | 1 per acre | | Legendary | x5 | 1 per 100 square feet | 1 per acre |
