Proper administration of manor seeds is also vital, as it provides much needed materials to citizens and special items and equipment to the castle-owning clan. Seeds are purchased by the lord and sold altis gates gold to the populace by Manor Managers within the region.

Farmers purchase these seeds to use on monsters, which returns a special crop seed, sellable back to the Manor Manager for materials. In return, these crop seeds are collected by the lord and exchanged for special items.

Through careful planning, the lord determines which seeds are the most popular for citizens and which will net the largest reward, providing a sufficient number of each.

It also alienates potential allies and could possibly lead to clans allying to oust the ruler, especially in regions that sell items unique to that castle region. Setting taxes at 7% to 10% is often considered prudent and is standard across Aden.

A castle owning clan must be strong and organized, fighting dissent within and without, with a focused and dedicated leader.

Ultimately, control of a castle is the surest sign of authority throughout the land, but only proper administration of the castle and manor will leave a legacy that truly stands the test of time.
