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.
In general, 1 Florynt is enough to buy a loaf of bread, with 5 Florynts generally being able to pay for a night in most inns. 12,500 Florynts is enough to buy most middle class single family homes in a modest city. Meanwhile, an upper middle class townhouse in a city like Helmira would cost around 95,000 Florynts. Palaces or castles are much more expensive. For instance, Radenór Castle, the summer residence for the Kings of Ardoragh, was estimated to have cost around 2,2 million Florynts to construct. House Viromaro paid around 4 million Florynts for their hunting lodge in western Ardoragh. The White Gold Tower, although priceless due to its historical value, cost around 158 million Florynts to erect, and is the most expensive building ever constructed in Minecraftia.
