The Coin-Cantor (priest)

The Coin-Cantor

Among the Auric Collectors, this figure is known as the Coin-Cantor (priest) — a heretic priest who turns worship into accounting and prayer into transaction. His very presence is a blasphemy against sanctity, for he has replaced devotion with debt and faith with ledger lines. Draped in layered vestments of violet and ash-white cloth, he is almost buried beneath the weight of gold medallions stitched, chained, and riveted to his armour. Each coin bears marks of origin and ownership, inscriptions of conquest and signatures of surrender. None are decorative; all are records, each a testimony to the endless tally of Mammon’s dominion. To gaze upon him is to see a man transformed into a living archive, a walking treasury of debts unpaid and fortunes seized.
His gilded mask is crowned with horn-like protrusions, evoking both a saint’s halo and a demon’s crest, a paradox that unsettles the faithful and terrifies the profane. The filigree etched upon its surface is so fine it resembles sacred calligraphy rather than metalwork, as though scripture itself has been twisted into ornament. The staff he bears is not a symbol of guidance, but of authority: topped with crossed sigils and dangling coins that chime softly as he walks, announcing debt before violence arrives. Each step is accompanied by the metallic whisper of obligation, a reminder that no act of defiance escapes the tally. In his other hand he carries a censory-lantern, exhaling alchemical vapors mixed with incense and poison. The fumes sanctify the air for Mammon while weakening those who breathe it, a ritual both holy and profane, blessing conquest while corrupting resistance.
The Coin-Cantor’s role in war is not to inspire courage, but compliance. He accompanies Auric Collectors to consecrate seizures, verify claims, and absolve sanctioned theft. Before an assault, he recites inventories instead of litanies, listing assets to be seized and debts to be enforced. Afterward, he records losses, gains, and owed interest — in blood, territory, or souls. His parchment is stained not with ink but with the residue of conquest, each entry a binding covenant between victim and victor. Those who refuse payment are marked not as enemies, but as defaulters, a far worse crime in the eyes of Mammon. For enemies may be fought, but defaulters must be corrected, their existence erased from the ledger through annihilation.
Through priests like him, greed becomes doctrine. The Coin-Cantor teaches that wealth is proof of divine favour, and poverty evidence of moral failure. His sermons are not hymns but decrees, declaring that the balance sheet is the true scripture and profit the only sacrament. Under his gaze, the battlefield becomes a counting house, and the war an endless audit where only Mammon’s balance ever grows. Soldiers become clerks, victories become transactions, and every death is merely another entry in the grand account. In this way, the Coin-Cantor ensures that Mammon’s dominion is eternal, for as long as there are debts to collect, there will be wars to wage, and as long as there are wars, his tally will never end.

“Pray if you wish. The debt remains.”
