Those who lack the available funds but do have a clear source of income can request a loan from the Bank of Alshira; loans are given at 5% interest (added at the beginning of the year - if you borrow 1,000 gold, your starting debt is 1,050 gold), with a minimum monthly payment of 2% of the total loan (20 gold, in the aforementioned case). Default on payments at risk of forfeiting your building or receiving a visit from an angry ex-assassin with a vow against killing a customer permanently but a much fuzzier viewpoint on limbs.
