Here is a new teaser screenshot. This came about from redoing the entrance/exit to the Path of Sorrows map. I just had to stick something here (to hide something else -- so often the case with SoM 
)

The Eternal Soldier/Sword: A memorial for the fallen soldiers of Maunstraut.
If you look to your side, this is the first thing you'll see entering The Path of Sorrows (an area dedicated to ranking soldiers died in battle)
You can actually take the armor and sword, but the placard will insinuate that is not such a good idea. For one thing, with the weight system you might find yourself paralyzed from the weight. But also there are a number of cursed equipment which cannot leave your inventory and add to your weight (and probably have other negative qualities, though often balanced against good ones)
Some of the early cursed equipment give you the option of putting it back where you got it (this will probably be the case for this armor)
It is also possible to remove curses, making some items usable, others better. And that is where most of your money will probably be spent, because there isn't a ton of stuff to buy equipment wise. Also most monsters don't drop money, and if they do, they won't respawn (ie: respawning undead might drop 0~2 coins -- left over their eyes)
Most money can be earned by dragging found equipment weaker than your starting set to the war merchant setup in the Path of Sorrows for a bit of money -- and lost time (which might play an important role aside from bragging rights)
There will be a strict accounting over every item in the game. And only so much you can actually spend money on, so collecting after that only weighs you down (though there are stuff like inflicted curses and prayer donations to keep feeding)
