====== Territories ======

Territories are placed at ALL boss locations, traders, and other various public locations on all servers.

These areas are shown as a coloured (Green/Orange/Blue) disk  on the map.

No building or landscaping is allowed in a Territory.\\
This is  required to reduce lag during Boss events etc.


The exact restictions are shown in the Map when you hover your cursor in the Territory.\\
Top right corner of the map.\\
This varies depending on the nature of the territory.

At Towns this is required to allow acess to the Town by all players but to limit who can build/demolish there etc.

To build in these locations you need to submit your plan/idea to a Thane to have it approved as a petition to the King.\\
Approval is rare so you need a GOOD Reason.

===== Loss of materials =====
If you attempt to build in a Territory you will lose the materials and not get the build item.\\
The most frequent occurance of this is when you try to put up a portal in the outer fringe of the territory.\\

If you are near a territory check you can cut down a tree, or dig in the ground/break a rock to ensure you are actually outside it.\\
No refunds of lost materials are countenanced, though older players may help out the new players if this really gets you stuck.


===== Progression Server =====

During the Progression Server [[worlds:progression_server:era_gating|Era]]'s players may discover, and build at Boss locations before the Territory is placed there.

__**Be Aware**__ - If your build is inside the Territory you will lose access to it and the ability to further build , or demolish it.\\
You can petition a Thane to help you recover your materials, or if your build can be seen as beneficial to the community, it may be incorporated into the Territory as a public facility.
