The Reckoning of Debts

For all the precious metal that crosses the ocean to us, our creditors have caught us short. The bankers hold our notes, the interest devours the next fleet before it has docked, and they press now for a payment the treasury of our Flavor Rank cannot make in full.

There is no honorable way left to answer them, only hard ones. We may suspend our debts and break faith with the houses that fund our wars, or squeeze the realm harder for coin it does not have.
