In Search Of: Financial Advice

I am no merchant. I leave the discussion of trade and economics to folks other than myself. I only know that if I provide a good or service, it's not unfair of me to expect some sort of compensation for it. Usually agreed upon in advance. However, that's just me.

We must recall a few things... Travance is a frontier town. That is why many come here. There is a chance for great wealth, great fame, & opportunities abound. There was also a time Travance held Market Faires where there was no Chancellor of Trade. Things beyond all imagination were bought & sold. Bought & sold at prices you can not conceive of.

Look to the past of Travance. Look to how this town & it's people made their wealth. I also ask everyone to recall the good & dark times when the flow of coin & "zeal" to acquire it led to some folks actions.

Ale, while indeed pleasurable both in taste and the temporary effects it provides, is not practical when going off on an adventure. Nay, it even inhibits you, impairing your decision-making skills when they matter most. Therefore you should limit your drinking to celebration, and even then, try a mug instead of a bottle. Water costs you nothing, and the hydration it affords will help your endurance whether your swinging your blade or hoofing it a great distance.

Well if you have the nack for quill and pen and like to write of events that happen at the feasts of each moon, the Chronicle is looking for a reporting figurehead to write about battles, politics, general things going on. It pays 10 gold per article that makes it into the paper and it garners favor with the barony (400 Service Points).

With my poetry alone I have amassed a small amount of riches. It keeps me fed, it keeps me safe, it keeps me informed, it keeps me drunk.

normally i consider it my duty to keep the poor poor, but for a small fee i can provide you with my secrets to financial success.

Mr.Chenjing,

I will tell you two things that are key to financial success;
First you never share all your knowledge and secrets for free,
Second you hire a good accountant.

P.S.: A small piece of legal council, I would NOT recommend or condone looting the dead, as desecration of the dead is punishable up to 10% of ones possessions being duly and lawfully seized by the Barony in compensation for the ghoulish deed.

Grave robbing & looting the dead are two different things....
