The village empties the upkeep fund continously though the cost can be measured per month.<br>
The upkeep cost depends on your guard level and is a percentage of the deed's original purchase cost.<br>
*{||'''Light guards'''|([[Spirit Guard]] / [[Spirit Sentry]]) |cost 10% of the price per month*|----|'''Medium guards'''|([[Spirit Avenger]] / [[Spirit Brute]]) |cost 31% of the price per month*|----|'''Heavy guards'''|([[Spirit Templar]] / [[Spirit Shadow]]) |cost 56% of the price per month|}
This means that a size 5 village deed, which costs 25 silver, on light guards has an upkeep cost of 25 copper per month.

'''Control over the area'''<br>
almost Almost everything within the deed area can be controlled by the deed owner and those he gives permission to (commonly called [[Elders]]). For example, taking things, cutting trees & digging can be made illegal within the village grounds. If it is illegal, a non town member can not do those things. With the exception of stealing, where they have to kill all the guards first.
'''reputationsReputations'''<br>
The [[Mayor|deed owner]] (and elders) also has control over [[reputation|reputations]] on the deed. If the deed owner has reason to distrust a certain person, he can set their reputation to a negative number. A person with -30 to -100 gets attacked by the guards automatically, wether they are of the same kingdom or not.
