Towns indicate the ownership of a village, or the holding of a mansion in a large town, or the control of several blocks of a city. A notorious moneylender may worsen the family name, but it increases wealth, and entitles the character to an additional roll on the birthrights table, below. A hereditary title belongs to the head of the family, and will pass to the eldest male child, and from him to either his eldest male child or his brother if there is no male. It could possibly fall upon the character if he is close to the top of the genealogy pile, but it will be later. A secret society will give the character contacts with some unknown organization of which he will never speak.
Orientals also require birthright rolls.
If there is no income property in the family, the character receives neither the income nor the honor adjustment. The referee may wish to calculate this value, and give all or part of it to the character before he purchases equipment, to reflect the character's wealthier status. He will need to determine the game date on which the money is normally received. Horses are of any type selected by the player. Cash strings contain 100 coins, and are generally worn under the clothes, usually on the arm or possibly the neck, out of sight.
