Job Overview

## History

In the era before recorded time across the kingdoms Astorians had focused their attention on specific skills and commonly passed their knowledge to their children.

The use of these skill in their community was initially applied to better the community, while rewards weren't expected it wasn't uncommon for members of the community to give gifts.

Through various iterations of generations, engorging communities to the point where they splinter off into different villages and the eventual increase in skill diversity and refinement, specific skills became more sought after.

Due to a higher demand of skills Astorians would commission workers with whatever the worker requested. Eventually this method of trade evolved into the exchanging of small tokens, or coins, which were made of three types of precious metals either Copper, Silver, or Gold.

### Coin values

Each sequential coin value is 100 to the tier above it, i.e. 100 copper coins is worth 1 silver coin, and 100 silver coins is worth 1 gold coin.

The value of objects or skills, while generally set by the provider of said object or skill however workers generally do not want to deter potential work and will keep similar prices to others in their profession or even barter.
