Warriorpurse

Specialized pouch worn by warriors (uniformed soldiers and mercenaries alike).

Contains two half-moon coins, initially. When the warrior falls in battle, one coin is used to pay for cleansing of the body; the other goes into the warriorpurse of the man/woman who killed him.

Each style school has its own unique knot for the warriorpurse

Often symbols for luck or designating a noble family or combat style are embroidered on the warriorpurse.

"Cutting the knot" is how a warrior retires; once the knot is cut and the coin is spent, a person is no longer considered a warrior ("In the Game") and is no longer allowed to fight and kill.

Those with warriorpurses are allowed, by law, to fight and kill others with warriorpurses, without penalty.
