The Empire of Kar-Thone

blood that is nightly shed in this most dangerous of cities.
- Fool (50GP)
- What Imeprial Wolves that do find their way into Mellik are called such because only a fool would
put so much of his money into one coin. These coins are only accepted by those who trade with or in
Kar-thone.
The City-state of Allesih-Gilliam
The city-states do not mint their own coins, but do often have different terminology

people of Mellik use in reference to copper pieces.

harvest moon.
