Lucien was headed back to the inn he was staying at to store his payment in his room, but he saw something that piqued his interest: A bank.
Lucien had no idea that such a thing existed until he saw the sign outside of a tall dome building with columns all made of pure marble. What caught his attention was the wording underneath ‘Stria City Treasury Bank’: A safe place for your earnings.
The building was surrounded by hired guards that patrolled the outside of the bank.
Lucien stepped inside to see that the inside was also being patrolled by more guards and there was a marble counter that split the building in half. Behind the counter stood the clerks.
Lucien approached one of the clerks.
