Standardized Banking

In most major cities of Eashavar, the national government of a country operates an official bank. Banks allow the conversion of currency between various metals, as well as the conversion of gems and coins into each other, and sometimes the conversion of currency into the currency of other nations. Banks also provide loans for development in certain conditions, primarily for the construction of properties within the city that they operate. These loans are highly selective and difficult to attain, and they're mostly reserved for the nobility and established mercantile guilds.
