[QUOTE="Robbs, post: 4090392, member: 33483"] After starting this thread I promptly got buried in real world stuff and neglected it! Still have not resolved the gods issue (suggestions still gladly accepted :D ), but as promised I will be posting various elements from the campaign. Coinage in the Fallen Empire As trade dominates these decisions, coinage in the areas of the Fallen Empire (regardless of origin) is typically referred to by a common name. These names were transplanted from Antcash, with the exception of the wheel. The wheel is a continuation of an Eastern coin of the same name. Done originally as a sign of deference to local customs, it has since been incorporated into the general coinage. The original coinage introduced by the Empire had no platinum; therefore the highest standard coin would be the wheel, larger and thicker than standard Imperial coins. Once established (and as economic growth demanded it) the coinage added the platinum coin, which reestablished the Imperial coin as the highest. Trade bars are separate from this in that they are almost exclusively the province of large transactions involving trading houses and merchant guilds. The electrum piece was also introduced by the Empire, but is generally seen as a failure. While its value is technically fixed, many traders (especially smaller or more provincial traders) do not accept it as legitimate coin of exchange. Its original name was a merc. This was done to acknowledge the contribution of mercenary companies in the service to the Empire. Its more common, and mocking, name is the knave or fool. Overall coinage is generally is referred to by these terms: gold bar=centurion=100 gold platinum=imperial=10 gold oversized gold piece=a wheel=5 gold gold=crown electrum=knave/fool=1/2 gold silver=knight=1/10 gold copper=slug=1/100 gold As the Imperial presence declines names will slowly shift. Already in some areas gold or platinum have been referred to as sovereigns (debates on whether the gold piece, which is used more frequently, or the platinum piece, which is the highest coin, should have this designation has obviously caused some confusion). In the North the coinage has been simplified greatly. Platinum, wheels and electrum are virtually unknown, thus it has been simplified. Coinage is called the Sun, the Moon and the Stars to represent gold, silver and copper respectively. [/QUOTE]
