| Post subject: | Currency in Zeldia |
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!

Magically, got it.  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.
