Hi there - I'm actually a pledged mayor who willing be working directly with my Duke in order to build a monastic community during Exposition. We'd be running roughly off of the Rule of St. Benedict, and ideally would be centered around service to the poor and producing a singular product to help support ourselves (such as, famously, Trappist ale).
I do hope ruins and such will be in the game as well - it would be incredible to find the burial site of an old king, or some such.
