Realms (accept it at your own risk).

and promissory notes from the listed person to the bearer. Blood
notes can be made by individuals, adventuring companies or countries
and cities to cover debts. Debtors are legally bound to settle
them when presented. Blood notes from dead individuals are not
binding.
Merchants Trade Bars
These thin silver bars are worth 50 gp each. The

institutions. Trade bars of the Iron Throne trading group are
not honoured by other traders.
Sembian Trade Bars

and marked with the symbol of Sembia are backed by the Merchant
Kingdom. The value of these bars ranges from 5 gp to 50 gp.
