Rupees
Common currency comes in the form of gems called "rupees," e each of which takes the uniform shape of an elongated hexagon crystal. Rupees are of different colors that denote their values. The most common green rupee is for example worth 1 rupee, while a less common yellow rupee is worth "10 rupees." Below is a list of the most abundant rupee denominations.
| Green Rupee | 1 rp |
| Blue Rupee | 5 rp |
| Yellow Rupee | 10 rp |
| Red Rupee | 20 rp |
| Purple Rupee | 50 rp |
| Silver Rupee | 100 rp |
| Gold Rupee | 300 rp |
With 1 rupee, a character can buy unskilled labor for at least an hour, a humble meal, 10 torches, or one night's rest at a struggling inn.
With 10 rupees, a character can buy a bedroll, 50 feet of hemp rope, or a goat. A skilled artisan can earn 10 rupees or more in a day.
Rupees are the standard unit of measure for wealth. When merchants discuss deals that involve thousands of rupees, the transactions often don't involve the exchange of individual rupees. Rather, the rupee is the standard measure of value, and the actual exchange is made with more valuable gemstones like sapphires, letters of credit, or other valuable goods.
Rupees are used throughout the Light World and are not tied to a single government or continent. It is rare for an intelligent Light Worlder to not know of their value.
