Not necessarily, it could have entirely different features.

Also, sure elements of this exist in the Waking Sands & the Rising Stones... true, but it's like you've mentioned, "in Heavensward the story would have a new base of this type in Ishgard."

So why not a Castle or Keep with additional functionality?

You mentioned that "their characterization of an adventurer aren't the types of people who would own castles..."

Yeah, maybe when the stakes were lower. But we're going into war, this isn't some underground operation anymore or mustn't need be.

Also, our renown is growing into other regions & across the lands--we're going to need better defenses & greater protections.

We practically merit a small army at this point & small armies need arms, equipment, food, shelter, & so forth.

Besides, I don't think it'd be a bad thing if this became the new FC Housing so Personal Housing could have the old FC lots since there's such an epidemic over the lack of space.
