Pythian Central Bank (PCB)

The Pythian Central Bank (PCB) is an institution of the Pythian Union. The PCB makes monetary policy for the Pythian Union, administers the foreign exchange reserves of PU member states, engages in foreign exchange operations, and defines the intermediate monetary objectives and key interest rate of the PU. The PCB has the exclusive right to authorize the issuance of Pythian Dimes.

The bank is managed by Indefinite Color, while the vault is secured by Zÿlwahl.

Branches

The PCB has a number of branches from where it operates locally across the continent of Pythia. These Branches come in the form of local banks, all managed by Indefinite Color. Each of the branches have their unique style of marvelous architecture. One common theme among them is a series of golden chains around a pale sun.

Nexus

All Branches contain a magical gateway leading to the Nexus, in an otherworldly place hidden far from Sparkalia, somewhere in Beyond. The Nexus is the headquarters of the PCB, controlled by Indefinite Color, from where it all is managed. For those untrained of orienting in the Nexus, it may seem like a labyrinth. Grand halls of marble and obsidian. Arrangements of mirrors and stained glass on walls and ceilings and floors. A color theme of charcoal and pale and gold and scarlet.

Black Box

The Black Box is the insanely secured vault of the PCB, connected to the Nexus. The Black Box is used for the storage of all kind of valuable items and sensitive information. It is a great vault for secrets, as whatever enters the Black Box may be forgotten about by the outside world. Behind layers of Chromafey trickery lies an extensive complex of imperviousness. The Black Box is managed by Zÿlwahl. The true nature or makeup of the Black Box is a mystery. Even the select few who can access its depths cannot comprehend the Black Box in its totality. Only one thing is known; it is easier getting in, than out.

Miscellaneous

Motto

The motto of the Pythian Union often spoken is:

• "for Pythians, by Pythians"

which is the short version of the official motto:

• "aboard Pythians, about Pythians, above Pythians, across Pythians, after Pythians, against Pythians, along Pythians, amid Pythians, among Pythians, anti Pythians, around Pythians, as Pythians, at Pythians, before Pythians, behind Pythians, below Pythians, beneath Pythians, beside Pythians, besides Pythians, between Pythians, beyond Pythians, but Pythians, by Pythians, concerning Pythians, considering Pythians, despite Pythians, down Pythians, during Pythians, except Pythians, excepting Pythians, excluding Pythians, following Pythians, for Pythians, from Pythians, in Pythians, inside Pythians, into Pythians, like Pythians, minus Pythians, near Pythians, of Pythians, off Pythians, on Pythians, onto Pythians, opposite Pythians, outside Pythians, over Pythians, past Pythians, per Pythians, plus Pythians, regarding Pythians, round Pythians, save Pythians, since Pythians, than Pythians, through Pythians, to Pythians, toward Pythians, towards Pythians, under Pythians, underneath Pythians, unlike Pythians, until Pythians, up Pythians, upon Pythians, versus Pythians, via Pythians, with Pythians, within Pythians, without Pythians"

Official PU authorities might deny this, but Primrose Envoy Faziir of Indefinite Color insists this to be the true motto.
