Description
All cities require taxes and tariffs to function. The constant flow of money ensures public works
and servants receive the funding they need, whilst also lining the pockets of the politicians. But no
matter how good the cause or how noble the deed, no one likes to pay taxes. Since this is unpopular
reality, most lawmakers distance themselves from the collection of monies, relying on
specially hired Excisemen to do their work instead. Of all the people in the city, the
Exciseman is likely the most unpopular, right alongside the dyers, beggars, and the rest
of the rabble. Though they face hostility at every turn, most Excisemen know their duty
is a necessary one. Still, these individuals are rarely well paid for their thankless job. As a
result, few of them enjoy what they do and look for the fastest route to improve their lot, either
through skimming the coffers and double-dealing or working extra hard in the faint hope of
securing a better position in the government.
