The Purse & the Record
The Purse
— coin
Worth $0.00 against steel. 100 coin to the crown. Coin is earned, never bought, and buys nothing but what hangs on these walls.
The Warborn Marks
— marks
Worth $0.00 when tendered at the reckoning. 100 Marks to the crown. Marks are earned, never bought — struck for steel sworn and paid, for fields held on the March, and for souls brought to the gate. They carry half a reckoning at most, and the price on the wall never moves for them.

The Living Record
A receipt ends at the sale. A record does not. Every piece you carry out of this Keep keeps a dated life here, and it grows for as long as you own the steel.
No record stands yet. The first line is written the day steel leaves the wall.
Renown — what the March has made of you
Unblooded

The Muster Hall
Steel is bought better in company. Raise a muster, send its horn to four souls, and when they come to the count every rider is struck a boon of coin.
The Word Sent Out
Give your word to a soul who has not stood here. They walk in with coin in hand, and the house pays you in coin when they speak it. Coin, never cash — no bounty worth cheating for.
The Charter, Given
A rank may be struck for another hand. The seal sleeps until the coin clears, then whoever holds it stands sworn for a year and a day.
