Within the limits of Bryn Gwlad and Castleton

  1. DO NOT overshadow the Keep. There are rows of glow stone in the air above the city to mark the highest that we want folks to build, please stay below that
  2. Do not build across the streets. These streets are based on our Historical Baronial Maps, and we want to preserve that layout.
  3. If you want to build in the city, start your build on an unclaimed plot
  4. Avoid building on claimed plots unless you ask first.
  5. We want everyone to build freely, but there is limited space inside the major city builds. Consider building outside the city limits! Go North to Lake Travis, South to the Gulf of Mexico, or anywhere else!
  6. Keep distinctly modern builds away from the major cities/landmarks; this will help us preserve the medieval/SCA aesthetic
  7. Do your best to hide/mask Minecraft machines if you are within the major cities/landmarks.

Within other SCA groups (Hellsgate, Shadowlands, etc) or where other players have started building keeps or bases

  • Ask before you build or farm in/around their builds. Most groups are happy to have extra hands and help. Asking first will ensure that you are aware of their plans/goals and can help in the best way.
