Outpost Costs

Initial Reasons for building outside of Nyfold Village

The characters' of Beyond the Boundary might initially want a base of operations or a forward outpost, this could include a ruined tower, a worn horse-drawn carriage barn, a beat-up fishing boat dock, a dilapidated store or farm, or any similar structure or site.
These are not limited by the room or having to pay large fees to own the land. As such the wilds might seem like a good idea, but they are not safe and changing terrain might cause issue down the line. They often can not be permanent without a lot of effort.
