Stronghold and other Infrastructure

Spoiler: The House of Chora (Stronghold)

Show

The House of Chora was one of Nive's main temples in ancient times, taken as a palace for the many petty tyrants and kings for centuries. After her successful leading of the revolution, Chora received the land from the City to pay for all her property lost in the struggle. The House of Chora is a beautiful building, expanded with every generation. All is built in marble, with numerous entrances and exits to and from the city, both by feet and by boat.

Spoiler: General Price Modifiers

Show

GENERAL MODIFIERS
In a metropolis (+10%)
The House of Chora is built in the Free City of Nive, near its centre.

Aquatic (+15%)
The City and also the House are built where the Mirror Rivers cross. Thus, whatever reaches them must arrive via boat.

Warm climate (-5% to the prize of everything)
General weather of this region.

Site controls income source (+10%)
As a mercantile House, this stronghold can take a tax on all caravans passing through Nive.

Natural feature that prohibits movement x 2 (+8%)
The Mirror Rivers are the means of transportation of most people in the region. They are calm and mellow rivers, rarely with strong currents. They also too shallow for great army boats and too long and muddy to cross by feet. Thus anyone who wants to get to the Free City must use the long and flat boats of the Niveans.

Natural feature that makes movement difficult (+2%)
To access the House of Chora, one must be able to find in the messy streets of Nive and among many similar ones. A test of Knowledge (local) DC 18 is needed to get there directly.


Chora’s Seal (Lyre of building type of item) (-30%)

TOTAL MODIFIER: +10%

SPECIAL COMPONENTS:
Scrying beacon
The office, common area, dining room and the one empty bedroom are all equipped with a small scrying beacon built as a vase. In case of need, the master of the House can use them to spy on less savoury visitors.

Seal of Chora
The Seal of Chora is one of the most marvellous items created by the founder of the House. It is a flat circle made of brass and filled with arcane symbols. Once a week, when the word of command is spoken, a voice begins to speak in a strange language which sends chills down the spine of the wielder (it’s Infernal). The wielder can understand the words and communicate with it telepathically, giving it orders.
Once per day, the wielder may order the Voice to protect the site, making the walls and structures in 300 feet impervious to all attacks and damage for 30 minutes.
Furthermore, the Voice can be commanded to work for the wielder lifting stones, draining ponds or any similar duty. However, after the first hour the voice grows weary and must be misled into continuing its labour with a Bluff DC 18. While the effect is maintained, every hour gets the work done of 100 humans in 3 days, but once the wielder fails a Bluff check it cannot be used for this purpose in another week.

Warding bell
One of the warding bells is a Holy Symbol of Waukeen, resting in the centre of the altar at the chapel. This symbol may be activated by touching it and asking the Lady of Coin for her intercession, instantly creating magical defences. These affect the Chapel itself, the Throne Room, the Common area, the Dining hall, the Office, the workspace (ground floor); and the Servant’s quarters, Bedrooms and Bedroom Suite (first floor).
The other is another Holy Symbol, this one bigger and kept in the barbican. In this case it protects the Barbican, Gatehouse, Barracks, Storage room, Prison cell, Kitchen and docks (all ground floor, save the Barbican).

SOLDIERS QUARTER
Basic Armory (can contain weapons and armors for up to 25 soldiers)
Barracks (has space for about 10 soldiers who keep the stronghold protected)
Gatehouse
Barbican
Prison cell


MASTERS QUARTER
Fancy Bedroom suite (Eos and Ismael sleep here)
Fancy Bedrooms (room for two people, one of the rooms currently taken by Eos's daughter)
Fancy throne room (fits up to 20 guests, grants +2 to Eos on Diplomacy rolls)
Fancy office
Basic chapel (fits up to 40 people)
Fancy common area
Fancy dining hall (seats up to 30 people comfortably)


SERVANTS QUARTER
Basic dock (space for 1 boat)
