[Syliras Location] The Miza Mint

Description:

One of the first acts the Syliran Knights performed in the effort to recreate civilization was to found a singular currency. They created the Miza, easily adjustable to reflect its region of origin, and began to mass-produce the coinage in order to be able to circulate it throughout Sylira and beyond to other regions. The effort of creating a universal coin was met with great success, and the Miza Mint was founded to craft such coin. Under heavy guard, the miza mint operates as part foundry, part carvers guild. Each Miza is crafted from lightweight stone and metal, custom to the city or region it is destined for. Shipments outward are highly secretive, so the flow of coins is rarely interrupted.

Stone and metal are shipped in, finished mizas are shipped out. No two are alike, but each holds the complex engraving of a Miza and are coated with a particular gnosis gifted from Xyna, the Goddess of Money - so they are impossible to duplicate other than at the Miza Mint.

In terms of location, The Miza Mint is on the second tier (basically groundfloor - in the northeast corner) of Stormhold Castle. It's a fairly large place, employing about twenty full-time workers, most of whom are skilled in metalsmithing and stonework.


NPC :


ImageRace: Human
DoB: 10th of Spring 470 A.V
PoB: Syliras
Title: Priest of Xyna
Skills: 92 Metalsmithing
67 Jewelcrafting, 35 Dominion, 60 Mathematics, 55 Organization, 51 Negotiation, 45 Persuasion, 40 Leadership, 30 Politics,
Gnosis: 3 Minting, 1 Lykata
Additional Info: Calculating, calm, and logical, Corvis Natalis represents the ideals of Xyna, Goddess of Money, Commerce, and Trade. As her Priest stationed within Syliras, where the Miza Mint is located, Corvis has one of the most important position in keeping Syliras' economy stable which in turn will affect all Mizahar, directly or indirectly.

Some might say that Kale Belmont and Leo Valini holds economic power in Syliras, but those who know the truth will say that those two merchants are nothing compared to what power Corvis holds. He maintains the Miza mint, which makes him the most powerful man in Syliras in terms of economy, save from Xyna herself of course. As the Priest of Xyna, he's able to control the economy of Syliras with a wave of his hand or a word from his lips, he can direct the course of Syliras' economy. However, he will not use his powers for his own ends, Xyna chose him because he is worthy, with Xyna's, Corvis', and the Miza Mint's presence in Syliras. The Fortress City of Peace becomes one of the most - if not the most - powerful economy in all of Mizahar.

His mark appears as a gold-rimmed miza. On the wrist, it is located one inch up the arm from the second mark miza. The elaborate weave that forms the wrist-band grows extensively and forms a tattooed bracer around the lower arm. Around the neck, the gold-rimmed miza mark forms one inch above the first mark miza. The weaving around the first two marks and the neck encircles the third mark and expands to form a prominent piece that covers the upper chest in extremely elaborate weaving with the three mizas displayed prominently.

The Priest also bears the power of Dominion, a very rare world magic where the user is able to link space in the physical world to space in the Ukalas, the metaphysical domain of the gods. His dominion, fueled by his Minting gnosis, but limited to one mark vouch due to his skill, appears as a 2.000 square feet vault filled to the brim with gold-rimmed mizas. Only he and Xyna know the entrance to his dominion, but rumor said it's somewhere within the Miza Mint. Corvis is very secretive about his dominion and only those who have gained his trust and prove themselves to Xyna may gain entrance to his dominion.
