Iason Heine:
The terms seemed to be something like this:
The Merchants of Mammon agreed to help the Emperor whenever the Emperor's Seal was threatened..
But there was nothing to indicate what he would do for them in return.
Perhaps...perhaps the situation was quite different than we thought -- perhaps this contract addressed the needs of Mammon, rather than the needs of the Emperor. In return, the Emperor added his demand here...
"Emperor's demand?"
