Mechanics
NOTOC
The economy in the Familiar Lands is unified under 4 different denominations of value.
Copper Leaf
Base denomination First are the Copper coins, they are the lowest denomination of currency within the realms. 2 Copper coins could be used to purchase a candle or a torch. 3 Copper coins could purchase a peasant's bread, which would be enough to survive on for a day.
Silver Grail
10 Copper Leafs A single Silver Grail coin can be used to purchase a night's stay at a cheap inn. They can also be used to purchase subpar secondhand weapons, or a flask of cheaply pressed cooking oil. These coins are commonly used by commoners, and fledgling merchants.
Royal Gold
10 Silver Grails (100 Copper Leafs) A Gold coin can be used to hire the services of capable Knights or mercenaries, or to pay for extensive healing services from proper establishments. Proper plate armor might cost a few gold coins depending on the material it has been crafted from, as well as the skill of the smith.
Mythril Medal
25 Royal Golds (250 Silver Grails) Usually specially issued by banks and are only carried by wealthy aristocratic members. They are usually used to purchase land and housing, or to request illicit services from a highly skilled mercenary or knight. There is an enchantment within these medals to prevent counterfeiting.
