The Crown’s Purse​

A Fiscal Briefing from the Crown Office of the Master of Coin

Public Publication: 30th of Caysar, Midsommer

Current Financial Stress Index: 2/10 - Low Stress, Movement of Coin is Apparent

Following the Chasm Crisis and its strain on morale and infrastructure, the City has entered a more stable financial phase. Crown expenditures have begun to shift from emergency support to strategic development, with emphasis placed on long-term civic investment.


Key Stress Contributors This Cycle:
  • Increased Support for Educational Institutions - Funding has expanded to both established and developing schools within the city. Emphasis is being placed on trade-based instruction and vocational readiness for the poor.

    Stress Contribution: 0.5/10

  • Labor Licensing & Training Program - A Crown-backed initiative has been introduced to facilitate training for Shifter groups, particularly those in bonded service, through a reinvestment model. Licensure fees collected from Masters for worker placement are reinvested into the labor force itself, encouraging economic participation and specialization.

    Stress Contribution: 1/10

  • Community Programs & Orphan Welfare: Continued investment in social infrastructure, including orphanages and community hubs, remains a priority for fostering long-term civic stability.

    Stress Contribution: 0.5/10

Notable Notes:
  • Projected inflation in skilled labor markets as new training programs take hold.

  • Delays in textile supply following merchant reallocation to education and infrastructure sectors.
There are signs the Crown may be adopting an economic model that favors specialization, reinvestment, and self-sufficiency. The recent cycle sees increased access to trade training for bonded citizens, particularly among the city's Shifter population, encouraging their integration into skilled labor markets, and encouraging self-sustainability and… freedom? The movement of coin suggests a rethinking of older frameworks.

Respectfully submitted,
Castien Aurelithis
Master of Coin
