When you issue the Research order to this facility, choose one of the following options:
Research: Lore. You commission the facility’s hireling to research a topic of your choice, or you do the research yourself. The topic can be a legend, any kind of creature, or a famous object. The topic need not be directly related to items on display in the room, as the trophies provide clues to research a wide variety of other subjects. The work takes 7 days. When the research concludes, you obtain up to three accurate pieces of information about the topic that were previously unknown to you. The DM determines what information is learned.
Research: Trinket Trophy. You commission the facility’s hireling to search for a trinket that might be of use to you. The work takes 7 days. When the research concludes, roll a die. If the number rolled is odd, the hireling finds nothing useful. If the number rolled is even, the hireling finds a trinket with a previously unknown magical property. You can decide what the trinket looks like or roll on the Trinkets table in the Player’s Handbook to determine its form. As a Magic action, a creature can use the trinket to cast a particular spell, requiring no spell components.

When you issue the Empower order to this facility, you enable yourself or the facility’s hireling to explore the eldritch mysteries of the stars for 7 consecutive nights.

Stable
Tended by: Wellby
Game Effect: Stable
Size: 36 squares (Vast)
Order: Trade (1d6 BP)
A Bastion can have more than one Stable. Each Stable comes with one Riding Horse (or Camel) and two Ponies (or two Mules). The facility is big enough to house three Large animals. Two Medium creatures occupy the same amount of space as one Large creature. The facility’s hireling looks after these creatures. After a Beast that can serve as a mount spends at least 14 days in this facility, all Wisdom (Animal Handling) checks made with respect to it have Advantage, as the animal becomes easier to handle. When you issue the Trade order to this facility, you commission the facility’s hireling to buy or sell one or more mounts at normal cost, keeping the ones you buy in your Stable. The work takes 7 days, and the DM decides what types of animals are available for purchase— horses, ponies, and mules being the most common. The Mounts and Other Animals table in the Player’s Handbook gives standard prices for various mounts, including camels, horses, ponies, and mules.
