Revision as of 23:36, 28 December 2023

The Mercenary Bank stands as a formidable supranational financial institution that plays a pivotal role in the global economic landscape. Established through a collaborative effort among powerful nations and influential entities, the Mercenary Bank has emerged as the primary internationally recognised bank, wielding significant influence over the world's financial systems.

History

After the Treaty of the King's Keep was signed in the early Third Era, trade issues arose. Wheras before the Great Grief people generally traded with goods, such as gold bars, now a more formal currency was being issued. In the Kythiran Empire, the Green Dragon Emerald saw some adaptation, whilst in the newly founded Imperius Reich, the Reichsmark was issued. Meanwhile, in the newly added territory of Ardoragh, people used the locally minted Roters as their preferred currency.

In order to solve this, members of House Viromaro, House Von Dragestein and several important business tycoons united by the Redstonian König family, came together to form a single, universally accepted currency, and a bank that would be able to issue and regulate it. Thus, the Mercenary Bank was born.

Its headquarters has always been in the city of Helmira, in the old Sverdpalass, the former royal palace of the Kings of Helmsdeep. Since its founding the Mercenary Bank, named after King Mercenary Hurdræber, has always been led by members of the prestigious and unscrupulous König family.

It's logo is a golden circle on a white mountain, the gold representing their immense value, and the white mountain representing the location of their headquarters, high atop the white marble stairs of Helmira.

The Florynt ƒ

The Florynt (ƒ) is the globally recognised currency in Minecraftia. It is printed exclusively by the Mercenary Bank, and most of the world's Florynts are stored safe within the Bank's secret vault, hidden somewhere in Minecraftia.
