11Mercury is the Roman God of Speed, Innovation, and Trade. He is one of the seven gods players can restore in Romestead. His unlocks favor logistics, trade routes, and the empire-wide automation added for Early Access.22Domain44FieldValueNameMercuryDomainSpeed, Innovation, TradeRegionPantheonHeadline questArt of TradeEA-aligned buildingTrading Post66Quests77Art of Trade: Mercury's quest hub; tied to the Trading Post and inter-settlement commerce. Issued at the Altar.99Why Restore Mercury1111Mercury matters once a player has more than one settlement. His tree unlocks Trading Post upgrades and trade-route capacity, which is the difference between a town that scrapes by and an empire that supplies itself. A solo player with a single settlement can defer Mercury; a co-op group planning a multi-biome network usually restores him after Ceres and Mars.1313Offerings1515Mercury responds to crafted-good offerings and finance-themed worship items:1717Handmade Craft, Impressive Craft: artisan-made offerings.Coins (Quadran, Denarius, Aureus, Electrum) when allowed by the Altar UI.Trade goods sourced from the Market.1919Talents and Blessings2121Construction unlocks tied to the Trading Post and Logistics Tent infrastructure.Citizen-buff favors that improve merchant and trade efficiency.Specific Altar Blessing values for Mercury are not yet documented in the published Worship UI; the Altar Blessings explicitly shown there cover Ceres, Mars, and Venus.2323Worship Tree25+Worship Points earned from offerings and sacrifices are spent in Mercury's tree. Nodes are grouped into tiers that open as the god's worship level rises, and a few have their own prerequisites, so the order below follows the tree rather than a strict shopping list.27+TalentEffectCostBasic ScrollsUnlocks Leatherworker recipes for the Scroll of the Novice, Woolbound Scroll, Feathered Scroll and Linen-wrapped Scroll.1Better Roads+5% road movement speed.1Extra GoodsThe Market stocks additional goods.1Cheaper Prices-5% vendor price.1Altar TeleportEnables teleporting between Altars upgraded to level 2.2Proficient Merchant+20% Merchant experience gain.2Brick RoadsUnlocks Carpenter recipes for the Brick Road Upgrade and Orange Brick Road Upgrade.
