The Centrum Bank

As folks from far flung places in the Wide World came to the City, they brought different currencies with them: drachmas, staters, scripts, aureuses, talents, cowries. Someone needed to change this money. The Cult of Mythrys stepped in to fill this role and formed the Centrum Bank.

The Centrum Bank makes high-interest loans to the desperate and the foolish. They also provide a safe repository for the heaps of gold being brought up from the Underworld; they exchange a broken chit as a unique ID for any who store their gold in the vaults.

Sensations:

Sun glints off the gilded dome. There is the feeling of an immense weight above you. Tall column-like statues of shining marble. Hushed voices. The clink of counted coins, the squeak of the balance scale, the click of the abacus. Echoes, echoes, echoes.

Special City Action:

• Take out a loan: You can take out a loan of almost any size. It has a 30% interest rate. It’s not a great idea.
