Writings - Gold: Valuable Commodity or Worthless Trash?

Details

• Type: book
• Location:
  • Tenebrae Library
• Description: This book sounds like it was written about a different world, due to its mention of the sun and the use of gold as a currency. This is explained by the reference to Amoras, one of the Zealan gods. The book must have been written by a Zealan in ancient times before the conflict that resulted in the occultation of the sun. Its mention of conductivity is also interesting, perhaps indicating that Zealans may have known a thing or two about electricity.

Gold has enjoyed a popularity that no other mineral ever has, and will most likely continue to be highly valuable. Besides being the basis for our monetary system, it can be found in jewelry and sculpture, and used for filling decaying teeth, and even as everyday plaques.
