Changes: Blessed Exchequer

Revision as of 21:55, 29 December 2015

Quark prays, The Emperor's New Cloak — Quark prays to an idol of the Blessed Exchequer

According to Ferengi tradition, the Blessed Exchequer was a supernatural accountant who presided over the Divine Treasury, the Ferengi afterlife. There, he reviewed the profit and loss statements of deceased Ferengi in order to determine whether they would be allowed entry into the Treasury to bid on their new lives under the supervision of the Celestial Auctioneers. Ferengi whose balance statement was negative were sent to the Vault of Eternal Destitution instead of the Treasury. (DS9: "Little Green Men")

Ferengi often pray to the Exchequer, often depositing slips of latinum into a bank made in his likeness. Typically the Ferengi prayer begins with "Blessed Exchequer, whose greed is eternal, allow this bribe to open your ears and hear this plea from your most devout debtor." (DS9: "The Emperor's New Cloak")

In 2375, Quark and Brunt prayed to the Blessed Exchequer in the wake of various social reforms on Ferenginar, with Quark requesting, "forgive us... your children have gone astray." (DS9: "The Dogs of War")

The prop seen in "The Emperor's New Cloak" was a rework of a Ferengi coin bank made by ITI Toys in the mid-1990s.
