currency in ormauk | 06

Welcome to Ormauk! A solarpunk inspired worldbuilding project. We present moments from this world through illustrations and stories; snapshots of a world filled with fields of green, sun-kissed trees, and warm breezy air.

This video looks into the currency of Ormauk: Pyx.
"Crushed pyx is steadily replaced by the handfuls hauled back by the daring. Some folks make a career out of delving into the depths of the world, searching for tiny baubles in the nooks and crannies. While milder people would likely crush pyx no more than a few times in their lives, adventurers must do so often as the dangers of the darkest wilds may sometimes only be cheated by the might of the elements. Greenhorns wonder endlessly why the elements insist on putting pyx just past the most dangerous of hazards. Seasoned veterans know that there’s no fun in a free lunch."

These marble-like spheres are called "Pyx". Ranging in quality from the rough "shooters" to the crystal clear "eyes". These spheres release mana when crushed and attract elements. Inhabitants of Ormauk often use these to create covenants with the elements to perform unnatural abilities or even just minor favours.
