Begone, you theocrat!

We have a secret handshake... Bet you don't.

[vanKaya]

Well if we did you wouldn't know. Because it's secret.

[Geronus]

... Touche.

[dustole]

Geronus,  we aren't supposed to talk about the secret handshake!  That's why it is secret!  Next you will start telling them about our super secret plans to take over all of Dwilight...

[vanKaya]

That's the problem with theocracies, they're going around telling everyone their secrets. too much faith if you ask me

[Indirik]

Nice one. :D

[Vellos]

Nice one. :D

You see why we keep him around in Terran? He's one of them smart people.

[Indirik]

Come to Astrum. I'll double your tax share.  ;D

[vanKaya]

Lol it's like unlimited money in Terran. All you have to do is make a peep about needing a few more coins and Hireshmont makes it rain. I dunno what's going on in Chesney, probably illegal horse racing or something, but that city makes bank. And then proceeds to distribute the wealth. Ah Terran, can't say enough good things

At one point I remember one of hireshmonts knights was handing out loans to whoever asked cause they had more money then they knew what to do with.

It's the taxation on guildhouses.

[Chenier]

It's the taxation on guildhouses.

Except that gold doesn't appear out of thin air. Guild taxes are only abusable as long as you've got people foolishly dumping a lot of their personal wealth in them.

[Perth]

Hireshmont makes it rain.

I laughed so hard at this.


But seriously, yeah, every tax day loads of money ends up in Kale's account from Hireshmont.... money's he hasn't ever really even asked for. He calls them "subsidies" to help Lords and Knights on our border regions.

[JPierreD]

Sounds like a great realm. We get much more rationed in Luria Nova.
Pian en Luries is going to distribute 25% of the revenue to all the realm, I hear. I guess they'll gain a fair amount of nobles from the southern realm...  8)

[Indirik]

I get 56 gold for being a duke in Astrum.

Yes, but you are the duke!

I demand raise! 8)

So raise taxes and give yourself one.
