Adventure	Char	None	Varies	Character takes part in an adventure.
Agitate*	Dom	1 GB, 1 RP	10+	Increases or decreases target province loyalty one grade. The regent performing this action must control a holding in the province to be Agitated. The success number for an Agitate action can be increased or decreased by any opposing or supporting Law holdings in the province, respectively. The success number can be further modified through the expenditure of RPs *and/or GBs* by opposing and supporting regents.
	Free	1 GB, RP	10+	Priest regents may agitate once per Turn as a Free Action.
	Realm	1 GB, 1 RP / prov	as Dom / prov	Multiple provinces may be agitated in a single Round as a Realm Action.
Build	Free	Varies	5+	Perform this action to build buildings, bridges, palaces, roads, etc. Cost varies based on the project and location. Some typical costs are listed below: Building (Wood or Stone): 1 to 30 GB Bridge: wood - 1-4+, stone - 2-5+ Palace: 5-30+ plus 1 GB maintenance/turn, but Court is automatically increased by 1 per GB spent on Palace contstruction. Road: varies depending on terrain, required for overland Trade Routes Construction costs in level 2 or 3 provinces cost 150% of normal, in provinces level 1 or 0 cost is 200% of normal. Additional charges may imposed for terrain or other factors. Construction proceeds at 1d6 GB per Domain Turn until the project is complete. Not all money is required to begin a project (i.e. a 30 GB Palace could be started even if the regent has only 8 GB).
Contest	Dom	1 RP	10+	Contests a holding or province. Target provides no gold or regency until ruled. Level 0 holdings are destroyed if contested.
	Realm	1 RP / prov or hold	10 + / prov or hold	Multiple holdings OR provinces can be contested at once through a single Realm Action.

Create Province	Dom	1 GB	10+	Creates a Province (0) in any unclaimed area of land with DM's approval. This action cannot be opposed by other regents.
Declare War	Dom	None	Varies	Allows regent to move armies into foreign domains and potentially engage enemy forces there.
Decree	Free	1 GB	Varies	Issues a decree with several possible results. NOTE: Decrees will typically be distributed to all players in the playing area except under unusual circumstances.
Diplomacy	Dom	1 GB, 1 RP	10+	Creates or breaks alliance, opens trade agreement, forces concessions, etc.
Disband	Free	None	Auto	Character disbands army units or holdings.
Espionage	Dom	1 GB	20 (base)	Any kind of covert information gathering or other secretive mission falls into the realm of Espionage. Examples include: Reveal diplomatic relationship between two domains Determine troop movements/positions Attempt assassination of a regent, lieutenant, or other key PC or NPC Investigates plots or intrigues Create plots or intrigues Pass messages without detection Intercept messages to a given regent
	Free	1 GB	Special	Thief and Mystic regents may take one free Espionage action during the Free Actions phase. The regent must still pay applicable RP or GB on the attempt.
	Realm	1 GB	Special	Some Espionage actions may be considered "Realm" actions as they may pertain to an entire domain (researching troop movements is a good example of this). They are resolved the same as any other Espionage action.
Finances	Free	None	Auto	Character converts GB to/from personal wealth, takes out loan, or sells assets. The maximum transfer per Turn is limited to 5 GB + total level of Guild holdings controlled by the PC. Taking loans from another regent is also considered a Finance action.
Forge Ley Line	Dom	1 GB, RP	5+	Wizard regent forges ley line between two provinces.
Fortify	Dom	1 RP	2+	Creates or improves castle (cost 10 GB/level) or fortifies a holding (5 GB/level). For the purposes of resolving combat a castle can hold a number of units (200 troops) equal to the level of the castle. The number of soldiers defending from inside a castle is quadrupled for the purposes of resolving Troop Ratios. Also, defenders of a castle ignore Retreat and Rout results and caualties are reduced by half. Fortified holdings function in a similar manner except the effective troop count is doubled instead of quadrupled. Each complete unit of Artillerists or Engineers in the attacking force reduces the effective level of castle or fortification by 1 during that battle. If any Artillerist unit suffers casualties greater than 20%, its abilities are nullified until it is restored to FULL strength (200 Artillerist troops). The castle or fortification strength is restored to reflect the change in attacking Artillerist forces. Note that Artillerists are NOT required to be a part of any force which actually engages the castle, they must simply be part of the attacking army. Any reduction in castle defenses inflicted by Artillerist units are applied only to the portion of the defending force affected. i.e. if 5 units are garrisoned inside a castle (5) which is reduced to level (3) by two attacking artillerists, three defending units still receive full benefits of the castle, while the remaining two units receive only partial protection. Defending units which are exposed through Artillerists' efforts continue to ignore Retreat and Rout results, but lose the troop multiplier and half-casualty advantages.

Further, the total levels of any particular holding under the control of more than one regent cannot exceed the level of the province. i.e. A level 4 province can support up to a level 4 Law, level 4 Temple, and level 4 Guild holding. It could also support two level 2 Guild holdings under the control of two different regents.
	Realm	As above	Rule can be performed as a Realm action by raising the level of any one province and/or multiple holdings in a single action. Note that while any number of holdings in a single province can be ruled at once, only a single province can be ruled in a single action.
