Launch milestones, patch notes, community spotlights, and the development blog. Every bulletin from the realm, gathered in one place.
The old markets collapsed under counterfeit fortunes and were razed. Every citizen keeps the denarius they carried through the Refounding — fortunes earned in the old era stand as testament to your service.

Henceforth every coin in circulation is earned — mined, sold, traded — never minted from nothing.
