CURRENCY

Goods can usually be exchanged for goods of roughly the same value, but within civilized areas special currency is also used to help out with commerce. The two most common type of currency amongst the large and medium sized creatures are the Antlers (AN) made by the elks. These are coinlike pieces approximately 2 cm in diameter, so they can be quite hard to handle for the smaller species. Many smaller species have their own types of currency, which are also quite coinlike, only smaller. It can be hard to exchange the larger currencies with the smaller ones, but many merchants accept a variety of currencies depending on what goods and in what size ranges they deal in.

Armor

Armor is almost always done by request, because notable size variations result in it being ineffective. No armor, except the shield, can be used by creatures of other sizes than for whom the armor was made for. The armor for large creatures is relatively cheaper because the demand is higher and it's easier to make than smaller armor.
