There are three types of currency in Elanthia: Kronar, Lirum, and Dokora, as well as one obsolete currency called the Dira.

Currency Types

Each province uses one currency type for all official and shop transactions.

Kronars

Kronars are used in the province of Zoluren, and are the only coin accepted at vaults regardless of location.

Lirums

Lirums are used in the provinces of Therengia and Qi'Reshalia.

Named after Lirum, the wife of Akroeg.

Dokoras

Dokoras are the coin of the realm in Ilithi and Forfedhdar.

Dira

Dira were the currency of the Empire of the Seven-Pointed Star, but are no longer valued as money. Instead, they are collected much like trading cards. Unlike other types of coins, they are do not come in denominations, are considered items, and do count against your inventory max, unless they are placed within a collector's case designed for dira.

Notes

Monetary coins are a special type of item. When held normally, they do not count against your total inventory, but do have weight and will impact your encumbrance if carrying a large amount. They are also susceptible to theft.

Dropping coins will create coin items on the ground. Coins may be placed in and retrieved from moneybelts to protect them from thieves.
