Currency
One of the first practical problem an adventurer can run into when traveling through Felarya is finding out that their money is worth litteraly nothing. Felarya uses its own currency, as well as several of the most common types found in the universe such as gols, platalis, Kejdoran shkings, yolems, rainbow pearls, and tetros.
Most normal transactions on Felarya are made in skevols, the local currency, minted by Negav. Larger ones are in Faldong gems or various local gemstones, and the greatest exchanges (such as buying a space battle cruiser or an imperial palace) being negotiated in pure ascarlin. This goes for most humanoid races, although some neko tribes possess their own currency as well. Most of the sentient predators have little interest in money.

Skevols are the most most commonly used currency on Felarya. They come in ornated coins made of Tessium. There are coins of 1, 5, 10, and 50 Skevols. Based on universal rates :
1 Skevol is worth 12 Platalis
1 Skevol is worth 2 Kejdoran shkings
2 Skevols are worth 1 Gol
5 Skevols are worth 1 Yolem
100 Skevols are worth 1 Tetros
200 Skevols are worth 1 Rainbow pearl
Faldong gems are the second most used currency in Felarya. One fair-sized Faldong gem is worth 100 Skevols.
On Felarya, 10 Skevols can buy you a large meal.
100 Skevols are roughly worth a fair-sized faldong gem
5000 Skevols or 50 Faldongs will afford you an appartment.
With 10 000 Skevols or 100 Faldongs, you could buy yourself an average house.
For higher transactions, people usually use Rainbow pearls.
Ascarlin is used for huge transactions Even a tiny fragment of Ascarlin is easily worth 50 000 Skevols
It's interesting to note that Negavians are extremely cautious on the concept of virtual money such as bank notes. There are many horror stories of entire worlds collapsing and being ruined by such system running out of hand. Proposing such deal to a Merchant in Negav will earn you a hard look and will even end the transaction in most cases.
