Disclaimer: When building a stronghold, try and keep in mind its investment potential. While a castle or a palace might be prohibitive at first brush, you may want to invest in a starter stronghold, such as a humble cottage,
in an area with rising property values. Don’t be afraid to sink money into a damaged stronghold, and then flip it for a profit! But be careful, and remember: gentrifiers are always Lawful Evil.

Kwalish), most of which can become permanent after 1 year of
continued casting.
If your DM allows it, here are rules for how to use these
spells to create structures or other effects usable with this
supplement:
Druid grove. When cast on an area including a structure
owned by you or one of your allies, this spell can instead have
a radius of 30-90 feet around the structure, which can become
permanent if cast every day for 1 year. It still cannot affect the
area inside a structure.
Galder’s tower. If you’ve cast this spell at 6th-level or higher
for 1 year and it has become permanent, you can spend 5,000
gp in materials to improve the tower’s defenses, retrofitting it
into a fortified tower after 30 days. The furnishings you have
selected for the tower have no effect on what expansions it has.
Mighty fortress. Casting this spell consistently for 1 year
requires approximately 25,000 gp in material components.
After it becomes permanent, it immediately counts as a keep or
small castle.
Temple of the gods. After this structure becomes permanent,
you can furnish it into a functional large temple by expending
15,000 gp and completing a 30 day construction time. After this
time, a single casting of disintegrate will not destroy the temple.

Once every 30 days, the owners of this struc-

room. This banquet takes 1 hour to prepare, and 1
hour to consume.
The effects of this lavish banquet are identical to the
effects of the heroes’ feast spell, save that it is able to
feed twice as many creatures. Creatures only gain these
benefits if they eat the food at the banquet itself, and this
food loses its potency after 24 hours.
Mundane banquets can also be held in this room. If
the owners of this structure decide to hold a mundane
banquet, it takes 1 hour to prepare, and creates enough
food to feed up to 100 creatures.

is also able to change the appearance of manufactured

to do so, determining whatever new attributes of the

O ther S pells for S tructures

Many other spells that already exist in the Player’s Handbook are
ideal for use with player-owned structures. The following is a list
of spells to consider when building and maintaining a structure:
Arcane lock, forbiddance, glyph of warding, guards and wards,
hallow, mirage arcane, Mordenkainen’s faithful hound, Morden-
kainen’s private sanctum, programmed illusion, symbol, and
teleportation circle are all spells that contribute well to an owned
structure in different ways.
In addition, a spell that must be cast every day for a year to
take permanent effect only needs to be cast every day for a 30
days within a structure that you own.

of this spell.
While standing on a piece of land affected by a raise
land spell that you have cast, you can use your action
to cause the landmass to move up to 50 feet in a direc-
tion you choose. The landmass ceases to move if it
impacts any object.
If this spell is dispelled, the mass of land formerly
affected descends slowly at a rate of 10 feet per minute.
A dispelled landmass may float or sink in water, at your
DM’s discretion, and impacting the ground even at a
slow speed may cause damage to structures or crea-
