Currently no trade exists between Ios and Khador, and
Ios does not recognize Khadoran coins.
Llaelese Coinage
The following coins are in use in Llael:
Kettle 1 copper
Keep 1 silver
Goldbust or Goldhead 1 gold
Ascendant 1 platinum
Newly minted goldbusts, often referred to as
“busts” or “heads,” always bear the face of the current
sovereign. While Llael’s throne sat empty, the Council
of Nobles decided to mint goldbusts with the national
emblem of the Crown and Stars. Since the Khadoran
occupation, Deyar Glabryn recently had goldbusts
minted with his own likeness. Several folk view these
coins askance as many of them secretly call Glabryn a
traitor, but they honor them just the same; their weight
is proper and most merchants do not care whose face
is on a coin as long as the metal is true.
The ascendant platinums were an ambitious
project whereby coins were minted in honor of the
various ascendants of Morrow. Unfortunately, so many
styles resulted in too much expense, the project was
abandoned, and they adopted a more generic design.
However, some quantity of specific ascendant coins
were minted and are of value to collectors and pious
Morrowans interested in such a thing and they fetch
more than their face value if sold to the right people.
Since the occupation, Khadoran money appears much
more frequently.
Conversion Rates
Widely-traveled folk prefer Cygnaran coin, so only
goldbusts and ascendants regularly trade outside
of Llael, although the recent influx of refugees
