D&D Companion Set BECMI (from the product description: “OD&D had short sections on ruling baronies and constructing castles. It was clearly intended as a successful end point for high-level characters. The idea carried into AD&D (1977-1979), where higher level characters could build strongholds (or towers), but by this point the rules were vestigial: the concept of characters settling down to rule was largely outside the norm of D&D play as the game entered through the '80s.”) https://www.dmsguild.com/product/17165/DD-Companion-Set-BECMI-Ed-Basic?affiliate_id=36142
