Elfmark
The Elfmark was the original currency of HighGrad Trading Company, introduced during its early formation by the High Elves. More than just a medium of trade, the Elfmark became a powerful symbol of unity, diversity, and cooperation across Faeloria.
Origins
When the High Elves founded HighGrad, they introduced the Elfmark as a unique monetary system to support and manage trade. This system helped solidify HighGrad’s reputation as a fair and unifying commercial entity.
Symbolism
- Design: Each Elfmark was intricately crafted, bearing High Elven motifs of unity and prosperity.
- Multilingual Inscriptions: Coins carried engravings in several languages of Faeloria, reflecting HighGrad’s philosophy of inclusivity.
- Cultural Role: Seen not just as currency but as a tool for forging ties between races and cultures.
The Elfmark was respected across the realms as a mark of cooperation and shared prosperity.
Decline
Over time, as economies evolved, the physical Elfmark currency was gradually replaced by more modern and universal systems of transaction. Despite its phase-out, the name "Elfmark" endures:
- Occasionally used in speech as a nostalgic reference.
- Preserved in HighGrad’s historical records and traditions.
- Considered a reminder of the company’s founding values of unity and diversity.
Legacy
Even though no longer in circulation, the Elfmark remains:
- A cultural artifact of High Elven innovation.
- A symbol of HighGrad’s origins and principles.
- A unifying emblem in Faelorian economic history.
