== Founding ==
To found a settlement you must first obtain a [[deed]]. Unlike [[Item:writof ownership|writs]]s, which are created by building a house, deeds must be purchased from a [[NPC]] trader. Village deeds at size 10 or more include a free [[trader]]. The price of a [[village deed]] is '''(size/10)^2''' silver. A size 5 [[homestead deed]] costs 5 silver, other sizes currently cost the same as a village.
New settlements have some restrictions on placement. Villages must be placed at least 100 tiles away from the nearest settlement. Homesteads must be placed at least 20 tiles away from settlements with the '''other villages''' permission enabled, and 100 tiles away if it is disabled. Settlements can only be founded within your kingdom. On the [[wild server]], this might require building [[guard tower]]s.
