Training

Barons are owners of a plot of land who manage a castle and run their fief, and it costs 6 TP in order to take it as an occupation. Often, Barons don't leave their fiefdoms however as they are needed in order to manage their domain and ensure stability. For when they do leave they have accountants and bodyguards at the ready as well as someone to act in their stead should they be gone for an abnormal amount of time, and whom they can correspond with through letters.

Barons also do well when combined with any other Nobility occupations.
