Description

A metal brand on a sturdy metal shaft.

Branding iron is a tool for branding animals to belong to a certain settlement.

Usage

• Heat the branding iron to searing or glowing hot.
• Make sure you and the animal are within the deed you are a member of.
• Activate the branding iron, right-click the animal, and select Brand.

Messages given when branding:

You prepare to brand [animal, e.g. Young fat horse].

Determined, you raise your branding iron.

The [animal] makes a [horrible / pleasant] sound as you press your branding iron against it.

When examining the animal after branding, it will say: "It has been been branded by and belongs to the settlement of [Settlement]."

Once branded, members of that village can lead the animal, no matter where it is.

Note

• Can only be used on animals that are leadable.
