It is possible, and generally desirable, to equip your character at some stage in your Avalon career with a house - a base of activity, storage of treasures and artifacts and such. All cities will have a fair number of houses and shops, ranging from small lock-ups to majestic towers which can be purchased from the city government and used for this purpose. Furthermore, it is possible to build anew a housing to fit your purposes and Avalon boasts nine distinctive types of buildable domiciles; shacks, lockups, cottages, residences, houses, villas, mansions, palaces and towers. They vary in cost (both in gold and commodities) to build and are under the domain of the Minister of State/Master of the Guildhouse.
If you are the owner of a property (or Prince of the owning-city, or Guildmaster of the owning-guild) then you may use the ENDOW command to present the property's ownership deeds to another. You may endow on an individual, a city or a guild.
Syntax: ENDOW <property type> ON <individual/city/guild>.
Examples would be ENDOW PALACE ON CALLADAN or ENDOW TOWER ON MERCINAE or ENDOW FISHERY ON RANGERS. In order to successfully endow a property you must be standing by the founding stone location - the construction start-point, the first location that specifically forms part of the designated building type and connects it with the rest of the land. See HELP BUILDINGS for a list of types if you are unsure of the precise wording to use to refer to your property.
