Homeland: Faradun

"As it clearly illustrates in the Tome of Transactions: 'Sales without a receipt are non-returnable'."

The Tome of Transactions is the law you live by, containing the blessed Creed of Greed spoken by the golden god, Avar himself. You have learned via these teachings that all of life is a transaction and trade, every choice with its own unique profits and costs, and you know that financial success, the only success that matters, comes from recognizing the best opportunities, and taking calculated risks. To strive and succeed at all costs is certainly admirable, but only if that success can be measured in monetary terms. In Faradun, you perform blessings and rituals, for a suitable fee of course, and hire out your services as an advisor on financial matters, quoting from the Tome of Transactions and its many financial rules as necessary. You eagerly accept donations, and sell holy icons and coffins of fortune for a substantial profit, all the while assessing what you can do to accumulate more wealth. Now that you have paid your full tuition, you are taking to the roads of trade yourself, for as it notes in the Tome of Transactions: 'The road to enlightenment is paved with gold'.
