	The word factory, which is Feitoria in Portuguese, is used in a different context in this time. It is used to describe what we might know as a specific city district used by Europeans as a base of their trading. It was almost always walled to be separated from the local inhabitants and was used as a marketplace, warehouse, customs office and a launching off point for further expeditions. It was essentially considered a different country, so any attack on a Portuguese Feitoria was like attacking Portugal itself, and it is not to different from a modern dockyards being treaded like a modern embassy while still functioning as a dockyards. Portugal is famous for making vast numbers of these areas all across the world and meant that all of their trade went through merchants that they could control and tax. The British and Dutch East India companies used similar areas, but usually the British and Dutch Factories used them as precursor's for colonial expansion.

	'''Hearth Wisdom:''' This ability isn't a academic sort of knowledge. ~~Heart~~ Wisdom is knowledge accumulated by peasants, traders, or others who don't have servants or live in isolation. It covers knowledge like: where are the best places to fish, which herbs are good for cooking, the signs of impending bad weather, rules of thumb to resolving domestic disputes, etc.		'''Hearth Wisdom:''' This ability isn't a academic sort of knowledge.

	'''Intrigue:''' This ability covers your ability to plot and plan effectively. It is about how to manipulate others through trickery and plots, and how to expose a target's vulnerability. Intrigue, though similar to Subterfuge, is different and is much more theoretical and consequential in nature while Subterfuge is much more based in fieldwork and actual sabotage.
