[QUOTE="Kobold Boots, post: 7755827, member: 92239"] Some help on the templar thing. Citizen goes to the coffer house. At their height the templars may have had close to 10000 of them throughout the lands. Cited number is near 9000 so I'm being aggressive. Citizen drops off stuff and gets a letter of credit detailing what they dropped off and it's estimated value. Letter of credit is good at any other coffer house and has two things going for it. First is the date of the document tied to a proof code that consists of three or more numbers. The example in the collection I refer to has a three digit number. The combination of the proof code and the date advises the coffer house of the cipher to use to prove authenticity. Last thing is that there have been indications of a cipher alphabet on the stamped seals at the bottom of the letters. My estimation were I to have an opinion was that the above mentioned proof code in combination with the date and the cipher stamp will tell folks whether or not the letter can be trusted. Citizen goes to coffer house in another area, and they get equivalent value. Now in a magical world, this gets much simpler, or much more complicated depending on how detailed you want to go. Be well KB Edit: Note that letters of credit attributed to the Templar are from what I know exceedingly rare and always of questionable authenticity. Take this for what it's worth and not from a position of fact. [/QUOTE]
