Gem Flecks

Gem Flecks are the commonly used currency of Ezermethalon.

Origins

The initial value of the Gem Fleck was determined by putting an Elemenstor on one side of a large scales and then a bag of gem flecks on the other. When the sides were balanced up, the gem flecks were said to be worth half the value of the most expensive furniture enchanted by the Elemenstor. This practice was confusing and eventually gave rise to the Ezermethan saying "worth half your weight in gem flecks." Many economists have risked their lives by questioning the semantic phrasing of this saying. This was especially true after the "Smart Ass Act" enacted by Handerlang the Overly Strict following a lordly constitutional to a local JestHause. Gem flecks can often be found in the Sw'ftfl'w River.
