Spoiler: Current Anathema (click to show/hide)

Anathema is something the Knights of the Order of Obeisance care about. Each Lord has an anathema count of the most monster units on their side + sacrifices made + artefacts held + Bloodforges owned + Knights killed. Some artefacts increase this number. Whoever has the heighest score is deemed the current Anathema (there can be multiple Anathemas if there's a draw).

Current Anathema Score
--[Vulk] 4 artefacts (Last Femur, Cat Sack, Crimson Drum, Saint's Knuckles), 28 monster units (22 skeletons, 4 friendly cats, 3 wolves), 1 bloodforge, 6 units sacrificed = 39
--[Bockhoven] 6 artefacts (the Rhuddy Cape, the Golden Net, the Wolf Crystal, Speculator's Rod, Shield of Earth, Whiptide Sail), 25 monster units (25 wolves) = 31

The monsters in the fort at E5 would march but they're under siege. I'm going to be nice and rule they can't march (and break the siege) if they're under-siege, but they can still gain units.

TURN 18

Research

Prince Mackial learns that G3 is the Yawing Crevice (A desolate crack in the earth. Artefacts may be destroyed by a scout or army throwing it into the crevice. Doing so releases a tanglebat, which will attack anyone present at the time, including scouts. Doing so also grants a permanent -2 anathema score. Only appears in WW.)

Marquess Vulk learns that in C1 is the Blood Forge Plans (The owner of this can build a Bloodforge as a feature (spending 10 stone as normal). Blood Forge: 3 armies may be sacrificed to create a new artefact (and become anathema to all.)

Spoiler: Known Artefact List (click to show/hide)

In the world
A11 is Cragman's Spike (a scout may pass through mountains)
A11 is Thornish Lodestone (while this remains in the Hedge, whenever no Thornish fort is on the map, another fort is revealed in a sector usually far from the owner of this artefact (most distant of two rolls)
B1 is the Black Trotter (Cursed item: cannot be destroyed, sacrificed, gifted or traded. Whoever defeats an army wielding Black Trotter will gain the Black Trotter.) (One unit attacks first twice at the start of each combat, but each time they kill a unit somewhere a boar will turn into a grand tusk- a giant pig that counts as 2 boar. If no boar are currently on the map, the next X boar to appear will all be grand tusks, where X is the number of units killed by the Trotter.)
C1 is the Blood Forge Plans (The owner of this can build a Bloodforge as a feature (spending 10 stone as normal). Blood Forge: 3 armies may be sacrificed to create a new artefact (and become anathema to all.)
E10 is Watchtower plans (Can build Watchtowers for 10 stone. Watchtowers allow defenders to attack first during the first round of a seige, and owner gets a hill report. Doesn't count towards anathema count)
E10 is the Torrential Torc (If the Torc is deployed by a scout or marching army, it will unleash an unholy storm, destroying everything on the tile, including itself and any treasure, leaving only water behind. Use of the Torc incurs +20 anathema score. Cursed items appear safely on an adjacent tile. Castles (but not forts) are partially immune, the torrent instead deals 20 wall damage.)
F9 is Murkblade (a scout will kill any lone human enemy they discover while scouting.)
G10 is Bitter Brew  (The set of armies this is equipped to never retreats from losses.)
H4 is the Black Lance (Cursed item: cannot be destroyed, sacrificed, gifted or traded. Whoever defeats an army wielding the Black Lance will gain the Black Lance.) (You never attack first in combats, but on your first attack all your attackers will attack three times. The turn after slaying someone with the lance, Dragons will preferentially fly one square in your direction when flying to a new home. When this first discovered, place the Dawn Dragon on M6 (the Dawn Dragon counts for 15 armies)).
H5 is the Shimmering Coin (+2 on rolls that determine gold amounts)
I5 is Siege Workshop Plans (The owner of this can build a Siege Workshop as a feature (spending 10 stone as normal). Siege Workshop: You can build these two alternative types of seige engine: 1. Battering Ram: destroy walls on a 4+ for one round (or 3+ or 2+ if you spend 2 or 4 more wood). 2. Giant Trebuchet: destroy 1d4 defence before the attack begins. You may spend 1-3 stone in ammunition to add 1-3 d4s to this.) Doesn't count towards anathema count.
J4 is Wellspring Staff (the Wellspring Staff may be cast into marshland by a unit to turn it into a lake (spilling out into all adjacent tiles - units can drown this way without proper precautions). If the staff is recovered (by boat etc) in subsequent turns, the lake remains.)
J6 - Perfidy's Horn (Monster units controlled by a human unit in the vicinity will become hostile third parties, turning on everyone.)
M3 is the Rock Ring (With a scout, raise up a mountain wall between any two tiles. You must own at least one of the tiles to do this.)
N7 is the Juniper Cape (a scout isn't stopped by monsters)
N7 is Marrowfat Sceptre (if the sceptre isn't owned by the Squelsh, at the end of each enemy phase, every Squelsh in the sector will move one tile towards the sceptre (fighting anything enroute). Each time a non-Squelshman takes the scepter, they gain +30 reprisal chance and +60 if they destroy, sacrifice or otherwise remove it from the county. A scout can drop the sceptre on any tile they pass through. If owned by the Squelsh, the Sceptre causes 1d6 enemies to flee at the start of combat.)
Q8 is the Crimson Drum (attack first when defending)

Held by Lords

Sol: nothing

Dolton: Verbian Tusk (summons 1d2-1 Rampaging Boars to your side at the start of each combat. Boars don't count towards your maximum army-size.)

Black Claw (Cursed item: cannot be destroyed, sacrificed, gifted or traded. Whoever defeats an army wielding Black Claw will gain the Black Claw.) (+4 dice rolled when attacking, every time someone is killed by a force wielding the claw, the nearest square with a bog cat gains another cat. If there are none, a bog cat will appear in the nearest empty square.)

Ayes: Sundering Claw (assign a scout to crack open a permanent path through any adjacent mountain. 25% chance to call a hostile dragon to the location)

Bockhoven: Golden Net (A scout carrying this across water has a 25% chance of rolling on the treasure table)

the Rhuddy Cape (the unit this is assigned to is now considered a giant)

The Wolf Crystal (wolves encountered will join the army instead (they still all run away when injured)

the Speculator's Rod (a scout scouting an empty hill that they own, has 25% chance to discover a quarry. They instead find a mine if the hill is adjacent to a mountain. The same tile cannot be scouted in this way more than once per turn.)

The Shield of Earth (the army wielding this is considered to have +1 defence at the start of every combat, as if they were siege defenders)

Whiptide Sail (one boat or ship can travel twice as far.)

Vulk: the Last Femur! (1/4 chance of each dead unit being resurrected to your side as a skeleton warrior when they die)

Cat Sack (defeated Bog Cats are put in the Cat Sack instead of being killed if the Cat Sack is held by the winning force. These cats are owned but unfriendly, and any number can be released by an army in any combat, or let loose by a scout in any tile.)

Saint's Knuckles (take -1 when rolling on the monster table (usually less dangerous results))

Prince FitzHarbort: Ascupart's Bane (unit has +2 dice vs giants).

Marrowfat Shield (whichever unit is given the shield will be last to be attacked in any combat. Sacred to the Squelsh, any non-Squelsh who takes the Shield gains +30 reprisal chance and +60 if they destroy, sacrifice or otherwise remove the Shield from the county.)

Sent to the King:
Hunter's Stand (Archers in the army this is attached to only die on 5s if no other units remain)

Marrowfat Throne (when owned by someone of Squelsh heritage, one Squelsh defector will join your cause at the start of each turn (+1 army production) and adjacent Squelsh armies will join your attacks on non-Squelsh; when owned by an Alkabrian or other, +30 reprisal chance, +100 reprisal chance if destroyed.)

Pellucid Orb (+1 to scout travel distance)

Spoiler: Known Unique Sites (click to show/hide)

A5 is Castle Aubade (Tower, Coppicing Grove, Shipyard), with the Speculator's Rod, Shield of Earth, Whiptide Sail. Two boats and a ship are also here.

A6 is The Knuckle Yard - Ritual death ring of the Squelsh natives. Owner may choose at any time to close down the yard (+20 reprisal chance). While operational: +2 income, if possible, two Barbarians from two different random squares will leave their post to fight at the start of each enemy phase, one one will return a Squelsh Champion (counts as two units, +1 to its attacks).

A11 is the Selkie Court (Castle with Keep, Moat x 3!) 12/31 defence - The Selkie Queen lives in the Selkie Court. She is a hag protected by 8 royal seals (who act identically to bog cats but with water instead of marshes). In her vault, she has a treasure of 20 gold and two random artefacts (which may be used in defence). The court only appears on coast or water tiles.)

C8 is the Crimson Tower (Keep/Tower/Bloodforge) Defence 17/17,  - Dai the Bloodsinger has a Bloodforge in which 3 armies may be sacrificed to create a new artefact (and become anathema to all).

D5 is the Puffin Prongs - Hill. High up on each of the twin spires 2 random artefacts can be found (though what each one is unknown before making the steps). Making ladders and steps to get them will cost 4 wood each. Guarding Puffin Prongs is the Fullflood Dragon and the Neapflood Dragon, who will always try to be together and won't stray while the other lives. (Site only appears on a coast or water tile.)

E7 and K1 are the Walking Stone Circles - A pair of sites. They are considered adjacent: units can walk from one to the other across the map. Each is initially defended by three giants. They will let anyone pass through both tiles unharmed in a turn as if they were owned by the traveller, for 1 gold per unit passing (if they do so, they won't join a monster march). Gold accumulates on the first stone circle passed through. Enemies always find the gold for it.

F11 is Lake Sorrow.

F12 is The Grove of Tusks - Holy place of the Squelsh - This is a forest. Whoever owns this has a +50% chance of being attacked each turn by Squelsh, who will target the Grove. Special Action: a scout can be sent to the grove to make a sacrificial offering (worth 10 gold) to make peace with the Squelsh, setting their chance to reprisals to 0. This only works for people who don't own the Grove.

G3 is Yawing Crevice (A desolate crack in the earth. Artefacts may be destroyed by a scout or army throwing it into the crevice. Doing so releases a tanglebat, which will attack anyone present at the time, including scouts. Doing so also grants a permanent -2 anathema score. Only appears in WW.)

G6 is the Cave of the Night Scream - Lair with two tanglebats (if there are any tanglebats at the start of combat, a new tanglebat will spawn for each opposing living unit, before any summoning artefacts are used) - When the Cave is first discovered (by research, scout, hill report, marching etc) it screams, unsettling the whole Hedge. Every fully revealed lair (including player owned and the Cave itself) generates one tanglebat. Thereafter, there's a 1/3 chance at the start of each enemy phase that the cave will scream again. It can be stopped by walling up the cave (10 stone) or sacrificing 20 units to appease the bats within.

G10 is Wolfhaven Woods - Forest. Spiritual home of wolf kind. Inhabited by 10d4 wolves (25). These wolves will only flee if less than 10 remain. Any wolves that would otherwise be loyal to a non-wolf, are loyal to the wolves in these woods. Wolves in this forest will never march on anywhere.

H10 is Owl Woods - Forest. Originally guarded by the Dusk Dragon (the Dusk Dragon counts for 10 armies) and seven wisps. The dragon holds Ascupart's Bane (unit has +2 dice vs giants).

K14 is Castle Wright (Features: Coppicing Grove, Mustering Yard, Marketplace, Keep, Barracks) 0/13 defence.

K15 is the Black Horn (Cursed item: cannot be destroyed, sacrificed, gifted or traded. Whoever defeats an army wielding Black Horn will gain the Black Horn .) (Adjacent allied enemies will join in attacks and defences against you. If this is held in a castle or fort, adjacent enemies will attack the position. The horn rallies locals to your side: when defending a village, castle or fort you own, permanently gain an extra 1d4 units at the start of combat.)

L2 is is the Puzzle Dungeon of Mad Lord Frost (Castle with keep, Seige Workshop) 13/13 defence - Lord Frost, a paranoid and inventive Thornish holdout, has retreated deep into his keep to tinker on his creations and allowed monsters to live in the outer areas. While he holds the Puzzle Dungeon, this castle counts as a lair: roll three on the monster table [2 giant, 2 wisps] for initial population. Any monsters marching from this location gain a randomly typed seige engine. He has stockpiled 2d6 wood [5] and 1d6 stone [2].

L5 is Lake Longing - (Water makes this tile impassible except by boat or ship. Spills over onto adjacent tiles. Won't spawn on a coast.)

L6 is Hogland Hollow - Forest. Inhabited by 3d6 Boar. While it is unconquered, at the end of any turn when there is less than 10 boars in this forest, 1d4 more boar will appear. Your scout withdraws to safety.

M8 is The Hirsute Sage's Hut (while independent, scouts that pass through the hut will ignore the first set of enemies they come across while scouting after visiting the hut. The sage leaves if his home becomes occupied.)

N7 is Taghairn Cave - Owned by Cuthbert Catsbane, a Bloodsinger who wields the Cat Sack if it hasn't appeared elsewhere. Has a limited kind of Bloodforge in which three cats may be sacrificed to create a new artefact. You would first have to find a way of gaining the cats.

O8 is The Hag Market. Marshland. Protected by 9 bog hags and 27 bog cats. Scouts can be sent to the market to buy bog cats (4 gold each) and otherwise may pass through without being attacked. Half the money spent here remains as possible loot. Friendly bog cats have +1 attack in marshland, and while you have a cat, they give -1 (non-cumulative) to enemy attack rolls. Cats cannot be sent to scout, and they cannot be send to attack or patrol by themselves. Monsters won't march from this location."

R3 is The Castle of Bryn the Brawn (Keep/Tower/Tower) Defence 21/21, occupied by Bryn, a giant, and his family, three more giants. The adjacent squares are also within his domain. Bryn will wage war to retake any squares adjacent to his castle, always accompanied in battle by 1d6 wolves.

R10 is the Scout Hut - Initially abandoned and inhabited by a family of 6 boar. Up to three armies can be assigned to the Hut as if it were a fort and they don't count towards your army cap. These armies can scout so long at they begin scouting from a tile adjacent to the hut. Spend 3 wood to dismantle and reassemble the hut on an empty tile you own.

T3 is The Moot - Village with 2d2 (2+1=3) Squelsh Barbarians and a moat (6/6 defense). It is the neutral meeting place of rival Squelsh bands. At the start of each enemy turn, each tile with a Squelsh Barbarian has a 25% chance of sending someone to the Moot. The first Squelsh reprisal each turn will be joined by whomever is in the Moot. If the Moot is conquered, a new Moot (with a new moat) will appear in the most populous Squelsh-held village at the start of the next player turn, or if there are no such villages, it may appear in future tile generation (from scouting, research etc.).

T11 is Hero's Tor - Hill Fort (Steep Path: Siege Engines cannot assail this hill) (9/9). An ageing Squelsh Champion (counts as two units, +1 to its attacks) with the Bloody Standard (+1 all attack rolls) sits in retirement in this fort, with his retinue of 6 Squelsh Barbarians, and two pet wisps.

Notes:

- Sol is now a Roving Force. See the text from the OP:

While a player has no castle, they are considered a roving force: they take no resources from features, but they still have access to any resources or equipment they owned (assumed to be smuggled out by loyal servants). Once the last army dies, any remaining resources and equipment are left at the final battlefield. Roving forces can still take resources from terrain they own, and may still buy and sell in order to maintain an army. The roving force can only increase their number of armies through villages and purchases if their force is below 10 armies. All units should be assigned an action that puts them somewhere on the map, as any unassigned units will be lost to desertion.

- Ayes is under siege: remember you can't collect resources from any castle features or re-deploy troops in the castle.
- Check the enemy phase and other player's phases to see if you've lost troops.
- Lots of enemy stuff, so let me know if I missed anything as usual

[Horizon]

Nvm, just jumping to conclusions.

[Criptfeind]

Wanting to buy armies this turn, if anyone is willing to sell excess (unlikely). Can't offer rates that the order does, but it's probably a lot safer to sell to me then it is to them.

Pulling all remaining forces back to the Fort, and I dunno what I'm gonna do tbh, just buy armies and resources. Whatever it takes to live I guess.

He is said to hoard in his belly four times the normal treasure of a regular dragon, and on his person he carries two random artefacts [Wisp Wand, Garrison Plans]. The appearance of the Crepuscular Dragon is a bad omen for the world: while he lives, the chance of a lair spawning a monster doubles (usually from 1/3 to 2/3 chance), and when dragons move, they bring any monster with them if possible. Only appears in WW, and only after at least 20 other sites have been discovered. Crepuscular Dragon will ally with any monster factions it encounters but is hostile to Alkabrian, Thornish and Squelsh forces.

The Order gain one troop, up to 4, then 3 go on the march. The Order decide to target the village, traveling the shortest route through the Stone Circle to take O5 before returning. The knight, knight and knight attack first (6, 8 and 5), killing one of your armies. Your armies have been defeated.
 Your total losses: one.

[G8] grow to four and decide to attack a castle. They travel to Castle Mysterious.
Your forces are behind defences (10 wall strength).
The Thornish holdout, Thornish holdout, Thornish holdout and Thornish holdout attack first (0, 0, 3 and 5), damaging the walls (1) with none of your units defeated. A siege begins with four of the enemy forces camped outside the walls!
Your armies attack (with one bog cat) (5), with no enemy units defeated.

[K11] grow to four and decide to attack a village. They target O7.

- [S3] Giant's Toe: Joining the lair is a dragon.

The monsters in fort E5 march on B2, with the siege engine. They pick up the two bone reckoners and their lone skeletal fighter in C3. It's undefended so they take it without a fight.

The five wolves, one giant, and three wisps in Castle Bacchus (F5) and the six tanglebats in H5 along the way. They have with them the Black Claw, the Black Lance and the Shimmering Coin. They attack the fort at J6.
Ayes forces are behind defences (6 wall strength).
The Black Lance gives Ayes forces the first strike. (7). They kill one tanglebat. Perfidy's Horn turns the Bone Reckoner's skeletal warrior and two skeletal archers hostile. They don't manage to kill anyone. Then the monsters attack three times. One the first attack: (3, 2, 2, 8, 8, 2, 4, 8, 8, 5, 2, 4, 6, 1, 1 and
The rogue skeletons and your armies have been defeated. Black Claw gives the stack another cat. They take Perfidy's Horn!

The two bone reckoners, eight skeletal warriors and three skeletal archers in T6 march and take the unoccupied fort at S5.

Bryn and his family of three giants, joined by four wolves, and the Crepuscular Dragon, war to take back the marsh in the R4. The Wisp Wand brings forth a Wisp, who decides to side with the Dragon.
The Crepuscular Dragon attacks first (5, 6, 7, 2, 6, 6, 3, 5, 1, 4, 0, 2, 4, 5, 6, 0, 3, 6, 5 and 6), killing three of your armies and four skeletons. The Last Femur fails to raise anyone.

Your armies attack (with one bog cat) (3, 5, 5, 3, 6, 5, 3, 4, 2, 7, 7, 8, 5, 5, 3, 7, 8, 1, 3, 6, 8, 4, 7, 6, 2, 7, 3, 8, 5, 1, 8 and 1), defeating nineteen of the enemies (giant (part), giant (part), dragon (part), giant (part), wisp, giant (part), giant (part), dragon (part), giant (part), giant (part), dragon (part), giant (part), dragon (part), giant (part), dragon (part), dragon (part), dragon (part), dragon (part) and dragon (part)).
The Last Femur fails to raise anyone.

The enemy takes too many casualties and withdraws.
Total losses: three armies, four skeletons. One giant is killed, and you gain one wood.

The Marrowfat Sceptre draws the Squelsh from their village in K5 towards where it's held in N7. They take the marsh in K6.

TURN 19

Research

Prince Mackial learns that in C8 is Hedgeblade - (One unit gains +7 attack, but there's a 75% chance the unit will be targeted by any given enemy attack until the unit dies.)

Marquess Vulk's learns that in L3 is The Prison of the Anathalord - Hill -  Defence (20/20) - The Anathalord, a powerful Bone Reckoner, is stuck within a near-impregnable prison (only attack rolls of 8+ may damage the cage (and not him), and he cannot attack from within it). If the Anathalord ever gets loose, all existing skeletal units would crumble and reconstitute by his side (as a one-time effect). The Anathalord can gain Anathema. The Anathalord carries the Last Femur [Doghorn], the Bonemeal Shield, the Rip Cage, the Dreadskull and Fleshbane (or random artefacts for any already discovered). Only found in WW or full-mountain tiles. Nearby monster marches can seek to free the Anathalord if the prison is as close or closer than a normal target. The prison can be repaired, one stone per wall strength.

Spoiler: Known Artefact List (click to show/hide)

Held By Dragons
Crepuscular Dragon: Wisp Wand (at the start of every combat a wisp appears; there's a 2/3 chance it joins your side.)
Garrison Plans (For each recruitment over cap, 1 guard appears in the Garrison. Guards can never march or be redeployed, but will defend; if you have multiple Garrisons, the new Guards are split between them evenly, with excess going to the main castle). Doesn't count towards anathema count.


In the world
A11 is Cragman's Spike (a scout may pass through mountains)
A11 is Thornish Lodestone (while this remains in the Hedge, whenever no Thornish fort is on the map, another fort is revealed in a sector usually far from the owner of this artefact (most distant of two rolls)
B1 is the Black Trotter (Cursed item: cannot be destroyed, sacrificed, gifted or traded. Whoever defeats an army wielding Black Trotter will gain the Black Trotter.) (One unit attacks first twice at the start of each combat, but each time they kill a unit somewhere a boar will turn into a grand tusk- a giant pig that counts as 2 boar. If no boar are currently on the map, the next X boar to appear will all be grand tusks, where X is the number of units killed by the Trotter.)
C8 is Hedgeblade (One unit gains +7 attack, but there's a 75% chance the unit will be targeted by any given enemy attack until the unit dies.
D2 is Bridge Plans (Can build bridges between any two adjacent tiles separated by water, if you own at least one side. Costs 10 stone. You can replace 2 wood for any 1 stone in construction (e.g. 5 stone and 10 wood. Doesn't count towards anathema count)
F9 is Murkblade (a scout will kill any lone human enemy they discover while scouting.)
G10 is Bitter Brew  (The set of armies this is equipped to never retreats from losses.)
I5 is Siege Workshop Plans (The owner of this can build a Siege Workshop as a feature (spending 10 stone as normal). Siege Workshop: You can build these two alternative types of seige engine: 1. Battering Ram: destroy walls on a 4+ for one round (or 3+ or 2+ if you spend 2 or 4 more wood). 2. Giant Trebuchet: destroy 1d4 defence before the attack begins. You may spend 1-3 stone in ammunition to add 1-3 d4s to this.) Doesn't count towards anathema count.
J4 is Wellspring Staff (the Wellspring Staff may be cast into marshland by a unit to turn it into a lake (spilling out into all adjacent tiles - units can drown this way without proper precautions). If the staff is recovered (by boat etc) in subsequent turns, the lake remains.)
J6 is the Black Lance (Cursed item: cannot be destroyed, sacrificed, gifted or traded. Whoever defeats an army wielding the Black Lance will gain the Black Lance.) (You never attack first in combats, but on your first attack all your attackers will attack three times. The turn after slaying someone with the lance, Dragons will preferentially fly one square in your direction when flying to a new home. When this first discovered, place the Dawn Dragon on M6 (the Dawn Dragon counts for 15 armies)).
J6 is the Black Claw (Cursed item: cannot be destroyed, sacrificed, gifted or traded. Whoever defeats an army wielding Black Claw will gain the Black Claw.) (+4 dice rolled when attacking, every time someone is killed by a force wielding the claw, the nearest square with a bog cat gains another cat.

J6 - Perfidy's Horn (Monster units controlled by a human unit in the vicinity will become hostile third parties, turning on everyone.)
L3 is Bonemeal Shield (The first time the unit this is attached to dies each combat, a random opposing unit dies instead, and the Lord gains +1 Anathema.)

L3 is Rip Cage (Unit this is attached to can only die on an 8+, but makes -1 dice rolls in combat.)
L3 is Fleshbane (Gain +1 dice vs living humans.)
L3 is Dreadskull (any unit fleeing from an army with the Dreadskull will instead desert.)
M3 is the Rock Ring (With a scout, raise up a mountain wall between any two tiles. You must own at least one of the tiles to do this.)
N7 is the Juniper Cape (a scout isn't stopped by monsters)
N7 is Marrowfat Sceptre (if the sceptre isn't owned by the Squelsh, at the end of each enemy phase, every Squelsh in the sector will move one tile towards the sceptre (fighting anything enroute). Each time a non-Squelshman takes the scepter, they gain +30 reprisal chance and +60 if they destroy, sacrifice or otherwise remove it from the county. A scout can drop the sceptre on any tile they pass through. If owned by the Squelsh, the Sceptre causes 1d6 enemies to flee at the start of combat.)
Q8 is the Crimson Drum (attack first when defending)
R6 are the Saint's Knuckles (take -1 when rolling on the monster table (usually less dangerous results))
S4 is King's Writ (Cash in to get 20 gold and 20 debt, or remove 20 debt. Doesn't count towards Anathema count.)

Held by Lords

Sol: Verbian Tusk (summons 1d2-1 Rampaging Boars to your side at the start of each combat. Boars don't count towards your maximum army-size.)

Vulk: the Last Femur! (1/4 chance of each dead unit being resurrected to your side as a skeleton warrior when they die)

Prince FitzHarbort: Ascupart's Bane (unit has +2 dice vs giants).

Marrowfat Shield (whichever unit is given the shield will be last to be attacked in any combat. Sacred to the Squelsh, any non-Squelsh who takes the Shield gains +30 reprisal chance and +60 if they destroy, sacrifice or otherwise remove the Shield from the county.)

Pellucid Orb (+1 to scout travel distance)

Spoiler: Known Unique Sites (click to show/hide)

A5 is Castle Aubade (Tower, Coppicing Grove, Shipyard), with the Speculator's Rod, Shield of Earth, Whiptide Sail. Two boats and a ship are also here.

A6 is The Knuckle Yard - Ritual death ring of the Squelsh natives. Owner may choose at any time to close down the yard (+20 reprisal chance). While operational: +2 income, if possible, two Barbarians from two different random squares will leave their post to fight at the start of each enemy phase, one one will return a Squelsh Champion (counts as two units, +1 to its attacks).

A11 is the Selkie Court (Castle with Keep, Moat x 3!) 7/31 defence - The Selkie Queen lives in the Selkie Court. She is a hag protected by 8 royal seals (who act identically to bog cats but with water instead of marshes). In her vault, she has a treasure of 20 gold and two random artefacts (which may be used in defence). The court only appears on coast or water tiles.)

C8 is the Crimson Tower (Keep/Tower/Bloodforge) Defence 17/17,  - Dai the Bloodsinger has a Bloodforge in which 3 armies may be sacrificed to create a new artefact (and become anathema to all).

D2 is The Order of Obeisance (Castle with Keep/Moat/Mustering Yard/Barracks/Garrison) Defence 19/19, Recruitment 1 - Remote Thornish knightly order, made up of 13/13 Thornish Knights.

D5 is the Puffin Prongs - Hill. High up on each of the twin spires 2 random artefacts can be found (though what each one is unknown before making the steps). Making ladders and steps to get them will cost 4 wood each. Guarding Puffin Prongs is the Fullflood Dragon and the Neapflood Dragon, who will always try to be together and won't stray while the other lives. (Site only appears on a coast or water tile.)

E7 and K1 are the Walking Stone Circles - A pair of sites. They are considered adjacent: units can walk from one to the other across the map. Each is initially defended by three giants. They will let anyone pass through both tiles unharmed in a turn as if they were owned by the traveller, for 1 gold per unit passing (if they do so, they won't join a monster march). Gold accumulates on the first stone circle passed through. Enemies always find the gold for it.

F11 is Lake Sorrow.

F12 is The Grove of Tusks - Holy place of the Squelsh - This is a forest. Whoever owns this has a +50% chance of being attacked each turn by Squelsh, who will target the Grove. Special Action: a scout can be sent to the grove to make a sacrificial offering (worth 10 gold) to make peace with the Squelsh, setting their chance to reprisals to 0. This only works for people who don't own the Grove.

G3 is Yawing Crevice (A desolate crack in the earth. Artefacts may be destroyed by a scout or army throwing it into the crevice. Doing so releases a tanglebat, which will attack anyone present at the time, including scouts. Doing so also grants a permanent -2 anathema score. Only appears in WW.)

G10 is Wolfhaven Woods - Forest. Spiritual home of wolf kind. Inhabited by 10d4 wolves (25). These wolves will only flee if less than 10 remain. Any wolves that would otherwise be loyal to a non-wolf, are loyal to the wolves in these woods. Wolves in this forest will never march on anywhere.

H10 is Owl Woods - Forest. Originally guarded by the Dusk Dragon (the Dusk Dragon counts for 10 armies) and seven wisps. The dragon holds Ascupart's Bane (unit has +2 dice vs giants).

K14 is Castle Wright (Features: Coppicing Grove, Mustering Yard, Marketplace, Keep, Barracks) 0/13 defence.

K15 is the Black Horn (Cursed item: cannot be destroyed, sacrificed, gifted or traded. Whoever defeats an army wielding Black Horn will gain the Black Horn .)

L2 is is the Puzzle Dungeon of Mad Lord Frost (Castle with keep, Seige Workshop) 13/13 defence - Lord Frost, a paranoid and inventive Thornish holdout, has retreated deep into his keep to tinker on his creations and allowed monsters to live in the outer areas. While he holds the Puzzle Dungeon, this castle counts as a lair: roll three on the monster table [2 giant, 2 wisps] for initial population. Any monsters marching from this location gain a randomly typed seige engine. He has stockpiled 2d6 wood [5] and 1d6 stone [2].

L3 is The Prison of the Anathalord - Hill -  Defence (20/20) - The Anathalord, a powerful Bone Reckoner, is stuck within a near-impregnable prison (only attack rolls of 8+ may damage the cage (and not him), and he cannot attack from within it). If the Anathalord ever gets loose, all existing skeletal units would crumble and reconstitute by his side (as a one-time effect). The Anathalord can gain Anathema. The Anathalord carries the Last Femur [Doghorn], the Bonemeal Shield, the Rip Cage, the Dreadskull and Fleshbane (or random artefacts for any already discovered). Only found in WW, full-mountain or ocean tiles. Nearby monster marches can seek to free the Anathalord if the prison is as close or closer than a normal target.

L5 is Lake Longing - (Water makes this tile impassible except by boat or ship. Spills over onto adjacent tiles. Won't spawn on a coast.)

L6 is Hogland Hollow - Forest. Inhabited by 3d6 Boar. While it is unconquered, at the end of any turn when there is less than 10 boars in this forest, 1d4 more boar will appear. Your scout withdraws to safety.

M8 is The Hirsute Sage's Hut (while independent, scouts that pass through the hut will ignore the first set of enemies they come across while scouting after visiting the hut. The sage leaves if his home becomes occupied.)

N7 is Taghairn Cave - Owned by Cuthbert Catsbane, a Bloodsinger who wields the Cat Sack if it hasn't appeared elsewhere. Has a limited kind of Bloodforge in which three cats may be sacrificed to create a new artefact. You would first have to find a way of gaining the cats.

O8 is The Hag Market. Marshland. Protected by 9 bog hags and 27 bog cats. Scouts can be sent to the market to buy bog cats (4 gold each) and otherwise may pass through without being attacked. Half the money spent here remains as possible loot. Friendly bog cats have +1 attack in marshland, and while you have a cat, they give -1 (non-cumulative) to enemy attack rolls. Cats cannot be sent to scout, and they cannot be send to attack or patrol by themselves. Monsters won't march from this location."

R3 is The Castle of Bryn the Brawn (Keep/Tower/Tower) Defence 21/21, occupied by Bryn, a giant, and his family, three more giants. The adjacent squares are also within his domain. Bryn will wage war to retake any squares adjacent to his castle, always accompanied in battle by 1d6 wolves.

R10 is the Scout Hut - Initially abandoned and inhabited by a family of 6 boar. Up to three armies can be assigned to the Hut as if it were a fort and they don't count towards your army cap. These armies can scout so long at they begin scouting from a tile adjacent to the hut. Spend 3 wood to dismantle and reassemble the hut on an empty tile you own.

T3 is The Moot - Village with 2d2 (2+1=3) Squelsh Barbarians and a moat (6/6 defense). It is the neutral meeting place of rival Squelsh bands. At the start of each enemy turn, each tile with a Squelsh Barbarian has a 25% chance of sending someone to the Moot. The first Squelsh reprisal each turn will be joined by whomever is in the Moot. If the Moot is conquered, a new Moot (with a new moat) will appear in the most populous Squelsh-held village at the start of the next player turn, or if there are no such villages, it may appear in future tile generation (from scouting, research etc.).

T11 is Hero's Tor - Hill Fort (Steep Path: Siege Engines cannot assail this hill) (9/9). An ageing Squelsh Champion (counts as two units, +1 to its attacks) with the Bloody Standard (+1 all attack rolls) sits in retirement in this fort, with his retinue of 6 Squelsh Barbarians, and two pet wisps.

Notes
- These monster stacks are getting too big, I've had to put more of them in little side blocks.
- The Downfall Stack in J6 is particularly nasty.
- Note the new rules for monsters while the Crepuscular Dragon lives: increased chance of monster spawning in lairs/occupied forts, and other monsters will move with dragons.
- Remember your castle's features won't work while under siege.
- Check the artefact list for the Anathalord's five artefacts.

Question: do castles generate one gold (without a marketplace?)

[notquitethere]

Question: do castles generate one gold (without a marketplace?)

No, the base 1 income is from being a Lord. It's not tied to the castle. And so you also don't get extra gold just for having more castles.
