TERA updated its political system on March 17th, which marked the prologue to the first generation of lords' reign. Since it was the first election, various cheating and hyping actions were found during that period. However, players' attention and expectation to the first lords still kept increasing.
The first requirement that lord candidates must meet was to pay 30 million gold as service charges. Even though it was not cheap, tons of players actively signed up for lord candidates, because they cherished endless desires and dreams for lords. In their eyes, a lord is not only a synonym for glory, but also limitless wealth.
As the above table shows, lords have an average income of 28 million tera gold, and the lord of Westonia earned the least, equally 16.63 million with a tax rate of 5%, while the lord of Eastern Guard earned the most, equally184.35 million gold with a tax rate of 15%.
