Wealth

Coins and Cash - UV

Coins and cash are a very simple measurement of your overall wealth. They are your liquid assets - in today's world it would be what is in your bank account along with what is in your wallet.

In Legends, cash is measured by a universal unit called the Unit of Value, or UV for short.

This is an arbitrary measurement of value that allows the appraisal of goods to be consistent with variable currencies.

One uV equals the wages of one peasant's day's work. This is assuming an eight-hour day. Thus a uV can be split up into eight units each representing an hour of work. Splitting them up further than this is not possible, though one might be able to make two spoons, for example, in a single hour.

Influence

Of course, as we all know, you can be rich without having a lot of cash. Influence is a combined measure of your wealth in non-monetary units. This represents resources you control, land you own, favors you are owed, and so on.

Influence can usually be converted to UV at a rate of 100 UV for each point of influence.
