5.a Notes on currency and the economy by Rachel Ferucci
According to Gorn1 there are many dwarven banking clans but in the east Clan Silvermount (aete Silfrfjall in Dwarvish) is preeminent. Exiled from the Dwarfmounts for unknown reasons the Second Empire gave them a monopoly on minting coins. And though the Empire fell thousands of years ago the currency they produce, known as dwarfmarks (Deorfmarkun in Low Imperial) or Marks in human lands is still commonly used. While they are only silver; the magical runes on the coins make them nearly indestructible and so they remain in circulation for centuries, or even millennia.
The coins are rare enough that they’re a relatively high denomination; so most nations mint their own coins as well. But the limited supply of new coins and strict fiscal policies of the Silfrfjall make marks an extremely reliable reserve currency. There is no risk of the coins being alloyed with base metals or being minted underweight and supply is limited to the point where inflation is nearly non-existent. As coins are lost during various disasters there is still demand for a supply of new coins to enter the economy; but the runes used to make the coins need to be hand carved so supply is limited to a few thousand every year.
The economy itself is advanced for a primitive society. Items created by master craftsmen are magical by definition. It might take months for a master smith to make a new plough. So ploughs are worth hundreds of marks. A farmer might make a dozen marks a year. But as the ploughs are magic they remain in farming families for centuries and the debt is passed on down through the generations.
Many banks exist to loan money in these situations. Though most human banks use dwarven banking clans as reserve banks due to the stability of the dwarven banking system. There are even times when a human run bank collapses a dwarven bank will act as an intermediary to exchange the debt owed to the bank to other banks in their network.

1 Gorn isn’t an expert on trade or finance and Rachel Ferucci is interpreting our systems in terms of her birth world. There are many flaws in this treatise; but the core argument is much more elaborate than any work a scholar of our world would produce. We must look into finding scholars willing to innovate on this field Rachel Ferucci calls economics.

Oracle's Path
Schedule: Minimum of one chapter a month. Note: This series may end up with a harem/poly relationship later for the female protagonist. It's not been decided for sure at this time. An update will come about if it is added. The Oracle's Path series is not a clean read, containing profanity, violence, substance use, love scenes (including LGBTQ pairings) and other adult situations. The twisted dragon queen stirs… Half-elf Oracle Aviana is no stranger to prophecies. With a strong connection since birth to the dragon god, Akorith, the dissonant whispers of fate have followed her from the beginning. And when an ominous warning foretelling of the destruction of her clan comes her way, she isn’t sure what to make of it. The when her younger sister needs to be prepared for her coming of age trial—a task that will test the woman’s fortitude and innocence—Aviana is the one tasked with showing her the world outside their secluded town. Her hands full with her sister’s childish nature, a foreboding prophecy is the last thing Aviana needs on her mind.The signs of the prophecy, however, appear: pirate attacks, a fight with a dragon, and crossing paths with a cheerful dwarf and stunted, lecherous elf—and Aviana can’t ignore them. Things go from bad to worse, and she’ll have to trust her intuition and the most unlikely of allies to make it through, or the world will be plunged into chaos...
