[MR] Pearl Passport question

Sat Apr 9 22:07:24 PDT 2011

Were I to use it in persona I'd have no paper, no stamps and no dangling
ribbons or seals but the Mongols DID have "travel passes" (called Paiza)
which were issued by the Khan and depending on the metal they were made of,
granted the bearer safe passage, shelter, food, guards, horses, even long
term lodging if the pass was of high enough rank/metal.  It was sort of a
passport but had better benefits!

It's a ticket for a game, friends... Consider it a pilgrim's pouch and fill
it with colorful stamps to show how devoted you are to this pursuit of
medieval fun.
