[quote=@shylarah] [@Prince of Seraphs] <3 YOU READ THE LORE! *squees* You make my little writer's heart flutter, you do. First a story for a constellation became actually based on historical canon, and now my pixie/sprite feud?! *facecling* [/quote] Constellation? [quote=@shylarah] I think Sini might have a taught wariness and perhaps a bias against Raven and her kind, but she wouldn't be rude. It'd be interesting to play with that. [/quote] Pretty much everyone has a bias against the Tuatha, they are the Japanese people in America during WWII. Or the Muslims after the Twin Towers. No one wants them around and everyone suspects they are planning something. Though when you keep an entire species on the fringes of society, living on scraps and being immortal still usually not living past a thousand the idea that they would be planning some form of retribution isn't all that far fetched. [quote=@LadyRunic] [@Prince of Seraphs] As for currency. They don't. They barter. Promises, services, goods. Its all bartering. [/quote] A barter economy is notoriously unstable being better suited to smaller regions such as small populated areas without a large unified government where the using money would cause more of a hassle than any problems it might solve. In large organized centers a common form of currency is much more stable as it unifies prices and cuts down on civil unrest over exchanges, among other things. It makes sense for trades among the rulers as they are only four people with distinctive and often unique resources at their command so they'd likely be bartering with them even if there was a currency system but for the day to day stuff bartering isn't all that stable. Even in the early days of the New World before they had adopted a currency system everything was measured by the value of the Beaver pelt. A beaver pelt bought these many of this type of item, this many otter pelts were equal to one beaver pelt and so forth. With a barter system the value of things becomes worryingly subjective for Kingdoms that are trying to remain unified. But if that's the way you want to play it go for it I guess. I believe earlier when we were bugging you too much about specifics you said you couldn't be bothered to tell us the prices for peas in the Winter Court. With this being the function of currency and all that might actually be something we need to know. Not peas specifically but a measurement of how much things are worth versus other items and what can buy what. In a barter system there would obviously be some wiggle room in there but a general guideline would be helpful as from a political standpoint running a Kingdom on a barter system without defined lines of value on items can cause much bigger problems for the rulers than simply creating a currency of some sort. [quote=@LadyRunic] It's like you said. They can but they prefer to use technicalities to mislead. It's more... amusing, and if you make a habit of lying do people trust you? If you make a habit of telling half truths and misleads then while they may not fully trust you, they do know you speak on somthing that IS true. But what? Falk-? I changed it from the initial way due to this being much more... Open. [/quote] So fae [i]can[/i] lie now?
