Wealth & Currency & Weight

The world of Drase uses abstracted currency - Silver and Gold, representing precious metal currency common back then. There’s two measures that can be used, Absolute Value, and Relative Value. Absolute value would measure the roughly absolute value of labor input - relative to something like say, precious metal, while Relative Value measures the relative cost and value of items, relative to the earnings back then. Relative Value: Price in silver piece * 50 = relative value in modern day, 2021 USD. Weight: Each SP represents roughly 1 gram of silver, each GP represents 5 grams of gold.
