Economy

One currency, a short list of things that cost money, and every way to earn more.

Last updated: 2026-08-04 12:41 AM EST.

Septims

Septims are the only currency circulating on this server, and everyone starts with none. Check your current balance with /balance and transfer money to another player with /pay <player> <amount>. Every amount is a whole number, because this economy has no smaller coin below a single stag.

Earning them

Vote for the server. One Septim a vote. /vote gives you the clickable list, or go to vote.tamriel.quest.
Sell to other players. A chest shop trades for you whether you're online or not. How to set one up: Player Shops.
Send a raven. One Septim to the sender, once per town per day. A mayor or officer runs /raven send, and the message reaches everyone online, along with Discord and the wiki.

Starting a town

/town new <name> — free.
/nation new <name> — free. You need a town first.
Taking over a ruined town — free.

Claiming land

Land is purchased from the town bank, so deposit money into it with /town deposit <amount>. The amount of land a town may claim depends entirely on its population. Land limits: Towns.

A chunk (1 Septim). Chunks cost the same, whether they are inside your town's limit or extra ones you buy.

Buying your way out of jail

A mayor may imprison any resident or outlaw captured inside their town, and the prisoner then purchases their release. Bail costs 3 as a resident, 5 as a mayor and 10 as a king.

What costs nothing

Everything else. There is no daily upkeep, no penalty for dying, and no charge whatever for travelling, renaming your town or hosting an event.
