The Olde and the New. Those whom live within the Creation cannot live without it. So when the Olde died and all things were created the New took their place. The Olde made things to personify, like the moon, while the New personifies the already made. The Difference is so great yet so close.
Coins. Our wealth, and our lives, is decided by coins. Why? Because of the Eight Dukes of the Eight Coins. We must suffer because Eight narcissistic bastards decided that every part of our society needs to, somewhat, resemble their gift. Even if it was from the gods. That 'Gift' is much more of a curse than anything. My Grandfather used to pay in beef but now, that beef that could pay for all of the years taxes, now is less than a quarter worth of taxes thanks to multiple additional taxes to keep these coins viable.
