The Riverside Palace in Londa, Mardier

[Bregir]

Leadership is looking into this. Unless groundbreaking new arguments are available, I ask you all to discuss the build rather than the egs-meta.

Leadership has reached a decision:

• Art & Culture vs. Residential
  This category includes governmental and administrative buildings, which can include a royal palace, a parliament hall, or similar, if its main purpose is governmental or administrative. The residential category offers a cheaper alternative for buildings with the main purpose being residential.
• Building in NPC countries and ownership
  Everyone can build in NPC nations if they wish, unless something explicitly prohibits it (Eg. a war or similar) and such builds can be licensed. Be aware that leadership may decide that the NPC nation will confiscate the building if you do something against that faction, or take some other action allowed within the rules. Just like a player faction may do.
  We would all love to see the NPC nations developed further.
• EGS/Lore
  There is nothing specifically in the rules explicitly requiring the EGS to be rooted in the lore. However, leadership agrees that the spirit of the game warrants that there should be a connection. While a random cobbler in some settlement can be considered a periphery character of the player, explaining ownership, a large an important build (IC wise) like this must have a reasonable justification of ownership anchored in lore. And of course, Oleon cannot "own" the royal palace in Londa without justification.
• Ruling
  Oleon can license this build as a royal art and culture *if* the story is adjusted to properly justify both type and ownership.
  We are not asking for a long essay, but the story for the build must somehow explain both. @Kolonialbeamter will make the proper adjustments.

If this leads to complaints or questions, ask them in the general thread or contact me or your local leader. This thread is for the build and its story. Thank you.
