Obols

Obols are the common currency of our country, as they have been for as far back as we can trace our history. Over time, the look, size, and make-up of obols have changed, but the name has persisted.

Obols are a primarily coinage based monetary system with a wide variety of denominations. The most commonly used coins by the people are the one-obol, ten-obol and fifty-obol coins. There is a large variety of further denominations. For larger transactions, such as the purchase of a house or property, ten-thousand Obol coins are available.

If one wishes to release themselves of their burden, they are able to deposit these at a banking institution or, for members of the adventurers’ guild, there.

They are created solely by the central bank of the nation, which oversees the minting process. The intricate magic imbued into each coin prevents forgeries from entering the market, as they are easily identifiable as being fake by any trained merchant.
