The Sun goddess gazes down upon Creation daily and observes the virtues and sins of Men. The Moon god gazes down upon Creation at night, but the night is also the time of Sleep and Death. So, His gaze also lingers upon those who have passed to ensure their safety as well. He can only look upon one world at a time, however, so His radiance is often lost to living Men.Thus, nefarious deeds are best accomplished at night and underground.The preeminent wizard's guild in the region is located by the sea. They, and the city that surrounds them, farm oysters. Through magical rituals and selective breeding they have managed to perfect a breed of oyster that produces a uniform grade and size of pearl when they happen to do so. Most cities mint their own coinage. This city produces "trade pearls", 100 gp each, that are used as currency for the wealthy the region over.The fact that a 100 gp pearl is a component of a common adventuring spell was completely missed by yours truly until my players pointed it out.</blockquote>
