In 9th Baghdad, Khidmah Tokens or Favor Tokens, were a form of underground currency circulated around the city that were used to grant services and favors when shown to various types of people. During the 860s, the Hidden One Basim Ibn Ishaq obtained these tokens from completing various escort, rescue, or assassination contracts on behalf of the brotherhood, and from pickpocketing the citizens living in the city. He would use some of them to aid various missions to hunt down the Order of the Ancients.[1]
Types
There were namely three types of tokens: Scholar, Power, and Merchant, each for different uses.
- Scholar Favor Tokens could be used to bribe scholars and entertainers in order to distract guards and move them away from certain gates and areas. In the Round City, they could also be used to purchase maps from a cartographer to locate treasures in the city.
- Power Favor Tokens could be used to bribe Caliphal guards, or hire Mercenaries and Zanj rebels in the city in order to attack guards. They could also be used to bribe the Munadi in order to remove notoriety.
- Merchant Favor Tokens could be offered to merchants in the city such as traders, tailors, and blacksmiths in order to grant discounts when purchasing items from. They could also be used to pay Merchant Groups to allow for blending when entering restricted areas.
