Compacts & Constitutions
|
Compacts & Constitutions is a skill in Salem.
Along with a Town Charter purchased in Boston for 2,500 silver, Compacts & Constitutions allows a character to create a town, complete with a claim belonging collectively to the town.
All towns begin their claims with a Town Bell, of which there may be only one, and may be expanded with the Boundry Stone (small claim expansion) and Cross of Saint George (large claim expansion), of which there may be several.
The town has an upkeep cost that increases with town claim size. See Town Bell for further details.
