Currency of the Realm

"Coin from throughout the realm..."

Regional coin has robust flavor of many different names, however their values remain consistent throughout the West. Only the Kingdom of Lentokk abides by different modes of trade, mostly magical, all rather clandestine.   It is even rumored the sickening Thralls of the God Kings use children as currency, for the blood of the innocent is the most powerful of all.
