The currency I have chosen for my world, Zeldia, is barter. For example, if I wish to purchase some apples, and I have some lemons that I don't like, but you do, we trade. It's as simple as that. :) Although, in Zeldia, there is not much need for currency, since it is basically a huge forest and people can either plant food or get meat from a naturally dead animal (killing an animal for food is illegal in Zeldia).

This sounds like a fun culture. The last part is fascinating. Why is it illegal?

And what about possible diseases from dead animals?

It is illegal because since they respect nature so much, they frown upon killing other creatures. :) About the diseases, I thought about that too, and I thought about making a career where people clean the meat in naturally dead animals to make them edible. :)

How would they do that, though?

They would send the meat to the Zeeacs and they would magically cleanse them! :dieshappy:

Magically, got it. :D I was thinking scientific, which didn't pan out all that well in my mind. Ceremonial type clensing, though, makes sense in a fantasy culture.

Scientific would be a cool idea, but I picture zeldia as a natural place. Like cottages as houses, blacksmiths, stuff like that :) And if they clean it scientifically, it would add an element of sci-fi and I don't want that :)

I could definitely see cleaning a naturally dead animal as being a kind of tradition/ritual in your world. :)

I love how they are close to nature, and I like the idea of bartering as well, as a currency. I always imagined it would be something that would be used in an out of the way country village. :D
