Steward Gamel sets to work shortly on the kingdom's finances. As he works, a few questions arise regarding the finances:

"Chaplain Gorlath, a small question about the matter of tithing haff come to my attention. Specifically, what are the current tithe rates to the temples of Viridon and Asterbury, by their respective Diocese? I would normally send messengers to them and ask, but with you being a representative of the Pope Himself, I am certain that you vould know."

"And Herr Kyle, how much of a pension do you require to obtain the services of this Anasalem you vish to recruit?"
