It is common practice to make the transition from one realm to another as seamless as possible but still marking the change in some way to make it obvious you are now part of a different realm. For Example when you enter a town, descend a cliff, climb a mountain, or enter the dark cave, a sign or change in style marks the transition which otherwise would be perfectly seamless. More information about the Individual Realms is available on Individual Reams Information Page . This is the full collective name of The Realms, which is all the individual realms or adventure areas are part. Well ok you if you insist.

Zorkmid The Zorkmid is a stable currency based on a metal standard. A coins value is distinguished by the type of metal, and not its size which is basically the same for all denominations. The copper zorkmid is the smallest, followed by Silver and then Gold. Other denominations are also available but are not often used. Gold coins are extremely rare within the realms, and as such of great value.
