A ledger belonging to a local Okheman merchant with a record of his recent trades and expenses. Perfectly ordinary.
Merchant's Ledger
Month of Gate 1. Janus Emblem Purchase Price: 50 Balance Coins Sale Price: 80 Balance Coins Units Sold: 20 boxes *Everyone wants to have good luck at the turn of the new year. It sold quite well — a pity it is emblazoned with Janus' insignia, so it's really hard to come by.*
2. Recycling Service Purchase Price: - Sale Price: 300 Balance Coins/trip Units Sold: 70 (3 dromases rented, 1 temp staff) *Dromases are pretty useful, but they have an exorbitant rental fee. They're charging threefold the price during the new year — it's sheer daylight robbery! Ack! If only I could buy a dromas of my own...*
3. Gilded Silk Handkerchief Purchase Price: 40 Balance Coins (Blank silk handkerchief), 150 Balance Coins (Customized name embroidery service) Sale Price: 2,500 Balance Coins Units Sold: 25 *Products still have to be related to the Chrysos Heirs to be popular.*
4. Tidal Holy Water (Blessed by Phagousa) Purchase Price: 100 Balance Coins Sale Price: 200 Balance Coins Units Sold: 15 *Said to be able to cleanse the black tide, though I reckon it's a scam. Even newcomers to the city aren't buying it, and it reeks of fermentation. Never stock up on this stuff again. No one's buying any of this.*
Month of Balance 1. Talanton's scale and weights set Purchase Price: 500 Balance Coins Sale Price: 1,200 Balance Coins Units Sold: 70 *Gotta hand it to the merchant guild for having foresight and deep pockets! Buying so many in one go, I'd be ashamed if I didn't give them a discount!*
2. Talanton's Legal Commentary Purchase Price: 120 Balance Coins Sale Price: 200 Balance Coins Units Sold: 30 *Everyone in Okhema should learn legal knowledge!*
3. Contract Paper Purchase Price: 5 Balance Coins Sale Price: 10 Balance Coins Units Sold: 2,000 *Everyone is busy signing contracts this month, and I am no exception.*
4. Oath Candle Purchase Price: 30 Balance Coins Sale Price: 99 Balance Coins Units Sold: 150 *The younger folk sure love buying this. I can smell an opportunity... Going to stock this up in advance next year.*
5. Talanton's Notary Seal Set Purchase Price: 800 Balance Coins Sale Price: 954 Balance Coins Units Sold: 300 *The guild of rhetoric teachers pre-ordered these. Can't earn much from it.*
Month of Evernight 1. Oronyx Astral Chart Purchase Price: 1,000 Balance Coins Sale Price: 1,500 Balance Coins Units Sold: 150 *I don't get it. You can't see any stars in Okhema, yet those astrologers are scrambling to buy this. What exactly are they looking at?*
2. Invigorating Incense Pack Purchase Price: 400 Balance Coins Sale Price: 600 Balance Coins Units Sold: 50 *With that stinging smell, it's no wonder it's invigorating!*
3. Divining Sheep-Bone Tile Set Purchase Price: - Sale Price: 190 Balance Coins Units Sold: 30 *Zero-cost business is always the best, apart from the trouble needed to carve sheep bone.*
4. Veil of Evernight Tent Purchase Price: 2,000 Balance Coins Sale Price: 2,750 Balance Coins Units Sold: 50 *A new favorite of rich folks. Apparently, it provides a great night's sleep when spread over your bed. I wonder if that's true?*
5. Obsidian Dagger Purchase Price: 500 Balance Coins Sale Price: 800 Balance Coins Units Sold: 30 *With an unsharpened edge, I have no idea what the point of this dagger is, but Oronyx's disciples love this.*
Month of Cultivation 1. Bug Repellent Purchase Price: 20 Balance Coins Sale Price: 25 Balance Coins Units Sold: 800 *Mediocre effect, but wins out in price. I also don't feel good making money off farmers. I mean, I am a farmer's child after all...*
2. Rainwater Collector Purchase Price: 2,000 Balance Coins Sale Price: 2,800 Balance Coins Units Sold: 100 *Those who fear dry seasons have all gotten one. Word is going around that the harvest in the next few years will be affected by the black tide, though I remain suspicious.*
3. Dromas Feed Bag (Rainbow Soil) Purchase Price: 800 Balance Coins Sale Price: 1,200 Balance Coins Units Sold: 50 *No wonder the workshop staff placed some orders with me. I didn't know how heavy one bag would be! My back almost gave out just carrying it around!*

2. Ribbon (Waterproof Coated) Purchase Price: 30 Balance Coins Sale Price: 40 Balance Coins Units Sold: 800 *Everyone is preparing for the festivities.*
3. Woven Garland Purchase Price: 20 Balance Coins Sale Price: 35 Balance Coins, 30 Balance Coins, 25 Balance Coins Units Sold: 5 *These aren't selling well. So frustrating. Everyone still prefers to make their own.*
Month of Everday 1. Aquila Energy Lamp Purchase Price: 200 Balance Coins Sale Price: 300 Balance Coins Units Sold: 0 *Said to store light. I thought Aquila disciples would go wild for this... But I forgot it's always bright in Okhema. This was a drastic mistake!*
2. Linen Sun Hat Purchase Price: 40 Balance Coins Sale Price: 50 Balance Coins Units Sold: 80 *I learnt a lesson from that energy lamp fiasco. Since it's always bright in Okhema, there'll definitely be people needing this.*
3. Chilled Spring Water Purchase Price: - Sale Price: 5 Balance Coins Units Sold: 200 *This sells faster than Phagousa's fine brew. Just a bit troublesome having to take these out from the ice casket.*
