Revision 1

Mercury 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.

Domain

Quests

• Art of Trade: Mercury's quest hub; tied to the Trading Post and inter-settlement commerce. Issued at the Altar.

Why Restore Mercury

Mercury 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.

Offerings

Mercury responds to crafted-good offerings and finance-themed worship items:

• Handmade Craft, Impressive Craft: artisan-made offerings.

• Coins (Quadran, Denarius, Aureus, Electrum) when allowed by the Altar UI.

Talents and Blessings
