Tax Collector
Creature -1 — human, humanoid
~SnareLANDhumanhumanoid
Ledgers and marks, positive and negative flows, and levies and allotments are a tax collector's daily bread. Where coin is gained, from whom it's collected, and to whom it's disbursed are their concerns—not who can afford the taxes. Larger societies rely on those with the authority and the ability to interpret and enforce laws. Some carry out these duties fairly, but others are harsh and cruel, imposing severe punishments on anyone unable to pay for clemency.
