Anons, I’ve burned my time tailoring the Cathagi markets. I won’t be writing up a content update tonight, but I will be posting the market and putting some votes to the floor before we even get to purchase votes.
<span class="mu-s">Market update</span>
As noted in a previous thread, ‘sequins’ are a uniform descriptor for various currencies and included value in minted coinage or bartered goods.
For anyone interested, price differences in horses and warhorses historically varied as much as shitbox cars, toyota pickups to the porches and ferraris. I now know more about the cost of a cuirass, 80lb wheel of cheese or wage of a Welsh infantryman in the 13th century England than I ever cared to. Hopefully that means that my sweeping changes to the prices, while by no means accurate, or not so wildly out of proportion to a feudal setting that I am laughed out of this thread like Emile is laughed out of the khave shop. You should also be aware that these prices are not the same as the markets back home, for example premium horseflesh is much more expensive here than in the homeland.
<span class="mu-s">All those choices, but what can I afford?</span>
Your current wealth is 160 Sequins.
Due to your Duchy origin your allowance is 10 Sequins per month. This is considered modest for a knight from a noble family, a skilled Cantonion tradesman such as a carpenter or tailor would usually earn about 8 per month. One of the votes will be both a vote on your standard of living and whether you are paying your companions entitled to a wage regularly or in arrears.
You will receive roughly 500 sequins when you sign on for the Dragon Guard, and roughly 1000 at the end of your 2 years. Your companion wages and living expenses are NOT covered by that amount. There is a very generous ongoing wage for those that extend their service, but I think there is a strong consensus to return home after that mandatory time. You will have the opportunity to make further market purchases following your induction.
<span class="mu-s">Are you sure about this Forgotten?</span>
Not in the slightest, but anons asked for this instead of the previous vague wishy-washy ‘wealth’ system. I fully reserve the right to retcon certain prices if I’ve managed to break this fantasy economy so that a castle is easily bought or I accidentally bankrupt anons through no fault of their own.
I am posting the market now, votes (not purchase votes) to follow in the next post.
