Sovereign Tower Annexes — Rooms, Forge & Alchemy

What the Tower rooms are for

Room or support role	Confirmed use	What is not fixed here
Gallery / Lady of the Tower	Opens access to new annexes and abilities; the Lady is also part of the game's romance premise	Complete unlock tree, price list, and one best order
Intendancy / Alwena	Investigates and reveals information about Knights	Exact schedule, cost, and every reveal condition
Forge / Carina	Crafts weapons and shields, repairs damaged armour, and can improve a Knight's chance on the next quest	Recipes, material costs, item values, and a universal best item
Alchemy / Belladona	Creates potions that temporarily improve Knight stats	Potion names, duration, exact values, and prices
Stables / Rowan	Supports the Tower through the stablemaster role introduced by the developer	Exact mechanical bonuses and unlock requirements
Broker / Rupin	Adds the Broker role introduced in the official Tower profiles	Complete trade table and price rules
Instructor / Sagadin	Adds the training role introduced in the official Tower profiles	Training values, limits, and optimal schedule

The last three rows are role references, not invented mechanical guides. Use the current room screen for costs and effects that the developer has not published.

Forge: use equipment to repair a specific weakness

The Forge is most useful when you can name the problem it solves:

1. Open the next quest and note its visible requirements.
2. Shortlist the Knight who fits the task best.
3. Check whether that Knight has damaged armour or lacks useful support.
4. Craft or repair only when the item helps this assignment; do not spend merely because the room is available.
5. Review the result screen and record what the equipment appeared to change.

Official material says Forge equipment can improve the chance of quest success. It does not publish a percentage, so an item is support rather than a guarantee.

Alchemy: temporary help for a difficult dispatch

Because the boost is temporary, use it for a known pressure point: a difficult quest, a weak stat match, or a moment when your better-suited Knight is unavailable. Check the potion description before spending, then compare it against the quest rather than assuming every stat is equally useful.

Which annex should you unlock first?

There is no verified universal order. Use this decision table:

Your immediate problem	Better first look	Why
Hidden Knight traits are causing surprises	Intendancy	More information can change both dispatch and relationship choices
Damaged armour or missing task support	Forge	Repairs and equipment address a visible assignment problem
One important stat is just short	Alchemy	A temporary boost can support the next quest
You are exploring new Tower branches	Gallery	It is the hub connected to additional annexes and abilities
You do not yet understand the next cost	Wait and inspect	Keeping resources is better than buying an upgrade with no current use

This is a planning rule, not a fixed build order. Earlier petitions, population approval, Treasury pressure, and rewind state can change what matters most.

Watch the room screens before choosing

For the assignment itself, continue with the quest guide. For the people attached to these rooms, use the illustrated character roster.
