Visiting another Shire
Visit Shires with an open Mercatum. You can look around and buy listings up to your transport’s cargo limit.
At town level 15, Sir Geoffrey can arrange a Royal Mercatum Charter. Favour 10–11 takes 48 hours and favour 12 or more takes 24 hours. Clocks can speed up the charter.
The road to Acre
To unlock the eastern voyage, bring all pilgrimage relics and build a Cathedral for your papal audience in Rome. Complete the western city commissions, present their gifts in Palermo, then sail a Navis to Acre.
After knighthood, visit Queen Isabelle in Acre to begin The Barons’ Petition. Win three of five barons’ votes to postpone the High Court’s marriage vote. The petition journal follows you while you travel.
After the vote is postponed, speak to Isabelle to begin Silver Without a King. Seal agreements with both harbour delegates to fund Acre’s defence, earn a daily stipend, and receive charter prices in Acre, Genoa, and Pisa. Collect accrued stipends at Acre’s Royal Court or Customs Ledger.
Once the customs charter is sealed, begin The Sword and the Crown. Meet every baron who pledged a vote in chapter I and seek commitments from the Temple and the Hospital. Present their pledges to the High Court to secure support for Queen Isabelle’s appointed commanders.
The Queen’s Charter follows the defence council. Consult scholars at York Minster School, the Schools of Sainte-Geneviève in Paris, and the Translators’ Hall in Toledo. Take the dossier to the papal audience in Rome, then bring the Church’s recognition to Acre to proclaim the charter.
In The Crown Unbound, present the evidence from the first four chapters to the High Court. Settle the defence and succession clauses, then pay a one-time gold tribute for a truce with Damascus. Once Isabelle grants Cistern Hill, you can enter the fief from her court or from Travel.

The eastern routes
After Isabelle grants your Acre fief, open the Eastern chart in Travel. The seven cities require a Navis and the fare shown above. Inland routes include onward travel by road or river. Each city has its own market, local specialty, and commission.
