Reforging and Renaming rules
They can be re-forged once acquired for RP purposes at a cost of 40,000 Dragons per reforging.
--- Can be reforged into the same thing (eg 1h to 1h) to give it a new name and look. You cannot rename without reforging.
--- Reforging a Greatsword can give you either one new Greatsword or two new Swords.
--- Reforging two Swords can give you either one new Greatsword or two new Swords.
--- Reforging will be subject to decent RP being done. House Tarly wouldn't just decide to melt down their ancient family heirloom and reforge two new swords, for example.
One handed sword, +4 Duels
Greatsword, +8 Duels

Buildings
These are structures created in your character's home province that grant improvements to the province itself.
Buildings Rules
- To build a Tier II building, you must have its Tier I equivalent. Same for Tier III needing the Tier II equivalent and Tier IV needing the Tier III equivalent. Certain buildings are unlocked without having a specific lower tier, and you may only build one Tier IV building: select wisely.
- You may only start building something on Tiers II, III and IV once the previous Tier building is finished. You cannot build a Tier II and Tier III building at the same time, for example, so that the Tier III building is already two thirds complete when the Tier II building is finished.
- The above rule applies only to linked buildings. You can build a Tier II Market and a Tier III Dockyard at the same time, but not a Tier II and III Market at the same time.
- Unless stated otherwise bonuses stack up. Eg for the Siege Defence buildings, Tier I grants +1, Tier II is overall +2, Tier III +4, Tier IV +6.
- You may have up to 3 buildings under construction at any one time, following the above rules.
