Coins, Trade & Environment
The Economy of the Isle of Daphna
We have decided to use regular currency of mainland Gor for an easier transition. In Mariner of Gor, it says they use both the metal coins of Gor and some with holes in the center—like the ancient coins of Japan—as well as shells for inter-island transactions, whether the people liked it or not.
To us, this suggests that the Shogun has enforced the use of shells for currency, allowing control over who becomes financially powerful among the islanders.
We are using a ZCS coin system. For those interested, Askiperang, the Shogun Yuri Okasan, will be keeping track of sales and contract women’s contracts. In this way, your IC (in-character) persona can truly grow financially—control stock in paga, move into a finer dwelling, or even one day purchase a contract woman from the Yuri House, opening many role-play opportunities.
Environment
The island lies in the waters of the World's End. Mountain runoff flows directly into the Thassa, providing fertile soil for flora and the cultivation of rice—just as the books describe.
