Gardens and fences and gates oh my #80

There's this one mansion in northern Tyraturos that everyone wants to grab, I think it's owned by Agosto right now. Good catch. It's one of the few player dwellings that has fences, and as a result a small garden area. It's not very much, but at least it's something.

When you look at the estate of Szass Tam in Eltabbar or some of the big rural Red Wizard estates in the countryside of High Thay you might wonder why exactly you can't have a little garden or big-ass walls and a gate to call your own, even though you might have ascended to the zenith of Thayan society as a Tribune, a High Priest, or even a Red Wizard. Some of the mansions and towers (mostly the mansions) currently has some rather underwhelming entrances that don't really catch the eyes when people walk by them, which is a shame.

My suggestion is to change a few things around and give some of the mansions and towers, and maybe even a few of the big houses, a garden and maybe even a gate that can be locked or unlocked. Let people feel like they've advanced far enough that they have a real estate, a real compound, and that it's imposing and impressive. If you need to, you can remove a few of the other possible player housing entrances, I think it's a worthwhile sacrifice.

If we're feeling particularly adventurous we might even lay the grounding for a "cultivate your garden" type thing and allow players the opportunity to customize right in front of their homes just as they currently customize inside of their homes, but that's a different matter entirely.

Quite like the idea. A little outside my wheelhouse but it sounds nice :)

I love this idea. If it gets approved, I would be more than willing to help. :D
