Overview
There are two different definitions for Bonds:
1. A bond is a small slip of paper backed by your realm's government, very similar to an IOU, which you can exchange at one of your realm's banks for gold.
2. A bond is a notation made on the record books with the tax collectors so that when you go into the bank of your realm, you are able to claim the gold you are entitled to.
Note: Seeing as how that foreign banks don't have the notation in their ledgers, you will need your slip of paper in order to withdraw the gold. However, since not all currencies transfer perfectly, foreign banks will charge a 25, (OOC: It's either 25 or 50, about 80% sure it's 25) gold charge in order to cover their, (potential) losses.
Uses of Bonds
There are a few things you can do with bonds that you cannot do with gold.
- Send it to another troop leader.
- Send it to your family
Also, enemies who capture you can steal your gold. Bonds are safe.
