Creation of the Imperial Mint

Financial Event

Before the founding of the Imperial Mint, there were multiple currencies being used, coins for each powerful leader who wanted to control their economy, but that all changed when the Imperial Mint was founded. There are many legends on how the Imperial Mint was founded, and many figures tied with money. Artis, Empire God of Trade has a powerful connection with money, and it is no secret that Mammon, Lord of Avarice also is closely linked to money. What is certain however, is that in the year 91 post founding, Ferdinand I Lionel, the Peacemaker, in his wisdom and foresight, saw that in order for the almost century-old Empire to function through time, and be stabilized, she had to maintain a stranglehold on the economy. To accomplish that, he founded the Imperial Mint, and outlawed all forms of currencies that did not bear the Imperial Sigil. The first Coinmaster was a ruthless dwarf by the name of Coinmaster Brafim Goldborn, who wasted no time in destroying and make examples of anyone using and minting coins that did not come from him. While some at the time resisted the change, Ferdinand was beloved by the citizens, and the prosperity that soon came with having a unified currency silenced all the critics.
