Feasting hall

The Feasting Hall is the residence of the heroes. You can check the status of heroes, upgrade stats, give rewards, and dismiss them. There must be vacancies in the hall if you want to hire a hero. There must also be a vacancy if you capture a hero during combat. A captured Hero can either be Persuaded to join you (same cost as hiring in the Inn) or Released. Also it is a good idea to keep Hero 'seats' spare in case either one of your cities is about to be lost and you want to save them, or one of your cities has been devastated/plundered and cannot pay the Heroes from City Tax

History:
The ancient feasting halls of Scandinavia were a large building with a single room. From About the fifth century to early medieval times the lord resided in these halls with his retainers. People danced and sang for celebrations. The heroes are praised and appointed here.
