Kingdom: Valerion

That currency system feels grounded because the values are easy to remember. Kingdom of Valerion Valerion is a prosperous kingdom made up of six major cities, each lending its name to a denomination of currency. Though all coins are legal tender throughout the realm, people often associate each coin with the city from which it originated. Cities of Valerion * Florendale * Korhaven * Herongate * Tarondale * Zorenfell * Polenwick Currency of Valerion Coin Value in Florens Floren 1 Koran 5 Heron 10 Taron 20 Zoren 50 Polen 100 Common Prices * Tavern meal: 1 Floren * Loaf of bread: ¼–½ Floren * Night at a modest inn: 2–3 Florens * Blacksmith repair: 5–10 Florens (1–2 Korans) * Horse: 40–80 Florens (2–4 Tarons) * Good sword: 50 Florens (1 Zoren) * Fine warhorse: 100–300 Florens (1–3 Polens) Cost of Living A typical family can survive for a month on 20 Florens (1 Taron) if they live frugally. Most laborers earn between 1 and 3 Florens per day, allowing them to support a household with modest comfort. Saying Among Merchants “Count your Florens, save your Korans, and dream of Polens.” This reflects the idea that Florens are spent daily, Korans are saved, and Polens represent real wealth. Relative Wealth * 10 Florens — A week’s wages for many workers. * 1 Taron (20 Florens) — Enough for a family’s monthly necessities. * 1 Zoren (50 Florens) — A substantial sum carried by merchants. * 1 Polen (100 Florens) — A coin many peasants may never own at one time. * 10 Polens (1,000 Florens) — The wealth of a successful merchant or minor noble. The system also creates a nice progression: Floren → Koran → Heron → Taron → Zoren → Polen, making the currency feel naturally tied to the kingdom’s six great cities.
