Shared Hearth
Depending on your party and campaign, you may not wish to fully invest in a Hearth. However, you still need access to Hearth facilities on occasion.
You have the option of joining an existing power structure. This provides a much faster start-up; you can leverage existing facilities. However, the storyteller controls the operation of a Shared Hearth, and you will have to provide appropriate payment in time or resources to make use of the facilities.
This option is ideal for groups that do not want to track the overhead of a Hearth and only plan to use a minimal set of structures.
