|---|---|---|---|
| Acquire a library of uncensored works
A wealth of knowledge to outshine even the Library of Alexandria.
|
|
A room of one's own
The hunt for knowledge is arduous.You strain your eyes consulting antiquarian catalogues, tear your fingers to ribbons on uncooperative bindings and spend interminable hours haggling with book-sellers. Still, you persevere. Soon, your haul of treasures will arrive.
In the meantime, you construct a handsome library to hold your bounty. It is carefully lit with soft, but not soporific lights; there is an abundance of comfortable chairs. You ensure the library is built close to the kitchens, in the delightful anticipation of snacks.

Game note: This will increase Affiliation: Academe.

| Acquire an enormous wine cellar
You will need an abundance of wine and a superfluity of space in which to store it.
|
|
In pursuit of the vine
You scour the High Wilderness for good vintages; you bamboozle vintners and bribe customs officials. You are the very plague of the auction house and the independent vineyard. You are tireless in your efforts, but your thirst is yet unslaked.
You set hirelings to work on your cellar. Your estate groans and rumbles with construction. There are complaints, but you gift or bribe those away. At last, it is complete. You are the proud owner of a small lake in wine and miles of cellarage in which to accommodate it.

Game note: This will increase Affiliation: Boheme.
|
| Acquire a ballroom of incomparable splendour
You will outdo Versailles. Your parties will be the stuff of legend. You will need to learn to dance.
|
|
Not to be outdone
You spare neither expense nor good taste. Fixtures? You shall have them by the cart load. Mirrors? You shan't move in your ballroom without meeting your own gaze. Fountains? Well, why not?
'Well, why not?' becomes the governing principle of your renovations. The finished work is an outrageous resplendence of glass and candles and silk. The New Winchester Gazette describes it as 'the High Wilderness' most expensive fire hazard'. An acquaintance tells you that your ballroom is the talk of Her Majesty's court. Expansions are planned at the Palace.

| Acquire a smuggler's hideout
Why not convert your estate into the perfect means of flouting the law?
|
|
An estate doubled
You instruct hirelings to dig your cellars deep. You request the construction of an underground station, for smooth transit out of the capital. No expense is spared on the creation of false ceilings, doors, attics and a labyrinth of hidden passageways. Your estate is soon riddled with secrets. You'd like to see any auditor find their way in – or out – of your business, now.
