Banks

There are many banks throughout Arda that will hold gold for you. At each bank, after opening an account, you can 'deposit' gold, 'withdraw' gold (the bank will take 5% of the withdrawn gold as fees for its services), or check your balance. All banks are connected, and you are limited to depositing 450,000 gold. You will never earn any sort of interest from these banks, as they are made to hold your money in a safe place, free from brigands and thieves. That is also the reason they take such a huge percentage (5%) in all transactions performed. Their job isn't cheap, you know!
