Lodgings
A Blackbird has the right to request lodgings within the domain of a patron or neighboring territories allied with a patron. These lodgings assume a week of time staying in the area, although the Fateweaver can adjudicate more or less depending on the circumstances or if the Blackbird assumes a place to stay at a lower level than the Patronage score would indicate. These lodgings are commensurate with the level of Patronage:
| Lodgings | Patronage |
|---|---|
| A place to sleep outside in a (hopefully) safe area. | 1 |
| A place to sleep outside in a safe area. Tents, firewood, and unprepared food provided. | 2 |
| A roof overhead, usually lodging in a barn, an abandoned building, or a communal dwelling with peasants. Simple fare and stabling for mounts (often in the same building) provided. | 3 |
| An inn or household with communal quarters for the group of Blackbirds that includes some privacy. Basic stabling for mounts and warm food provided. | 4 |
| An inn or household with a private room for the Blackbird and one servant or companion (any others must share a communal room as in Levels 2 or 3, depending on what is available). Mounts are fed and watered, somewhat nicer food provided. | 5 |
| An inn or household with a private room for the Blackbird and up to four servants or companions (any others must share a communal room as in Levels 2 or 3, depending on what is available). !is level of lodging includes a nicer meal. Mounts are fed, watered, and groomed. | 6 |
| A suite of rooms in a manor house or fancy inn. !ese lodgings include ample meals and house all of the Blackbird’s companions, so long as the group is small (others get lesser accommodations). Mounts are well taken care of. | 7 |
| An entire manor, small keep, or group of houses. This level of lodging is enough to accommodate up to twenty servants, mercenaries, soldiers, or traveling companions. Food is prepared by staff on hand at the request of the Blackbird. Local guides and transportation (i.e., a carriage and horses) are freely available for use while the Blackbird is in residence. | 8 |
| Lodgings only slightly lesser in quality than ones nobles themselves use, and with all the accoutrements of the previous levels. Nearby lodging holds an army of up to fifty, if needed. Also includes any clothing or finery that would be suitable attire for several people at courtly events or locales. | 9 |
| The very best of what is available, but never greater than what the Blackbird’s patron has access to. | 10 |
