Guilder
Guilders are the standard currency of the city Moonshade on the Serpent Isle.
Description[edit]
Guilders are accepted only in Moonshade and nowhere else, as the Serpent Isle lacks a central government and thus a single currency as well. A guilder’s value is between that of filari and monetari in its buying power and is a strange tender, which is imbued with a magical, greenish shimmering effect. While that does not mean that the guilder is worthless, people outside of Moonshade – apart from the professional money changers – mistrust it like many things that come from mages. Indeed, the pikemen in the Bull Tower disrespectfully called it a, "strange glowing money" due to their mistrust of all things magical.
It is somewhat difficult to determine the exact worth of a guilder, but fine ice wine costs 25 guilders.

Lore[edit]
| “ | Although I have procrastinated much in preparing this section, hoping to record further development, it seems that our commerce system evolved and stabilized quickly. Our resources show no sign of depletion lo these two centuries. I had hoped to abandon the ridiculous trappings of coinage that were common in Sosaria, but so many others found barter cumbersome. Therefore, I must resign myself to accepting a currency-based system. Regardless, let me now discuss the practitioners of this form of exchange.
... So far, we have agreed upon government by a council of mages. Those who live in Moonshade trade with the Guilder. |
