Runeum Coins

Runeum Coins (abbreviated rc) are the universal currency of the Dicey Dangers world. Accepted across all known realms and settlements, they are the standard medium for buying equipment, hiring, purchasing, and conducting trade with merchants encountered during adventures.

Each coin is struck from a blend of gold and magical essence, making them resistant to forgery. One face bears a unique seal tied to a or faction, giving coins cultural and historical weight — though all are accepted at equal value regardless of their seal.

Abbreviation

Runeum Coins are written as rc in all game text. When you see a cost listed as 80 rc, that means 80 Runeum Coins.

Earning Coins

Heroes can acquire Runeum Coins through several means during an adventure:

• Looting found in Chests or on defeated enemies
• Quest Rewards paid upon completing objectives for NPCs
• Selling Items trading unwanted equipment to merchants
• Henchman Wages (refunded) if a Henchman is dismissed before their week is up

Spell Charges

Spells must be loaded into a focus Item before they can be cast. Each charge costs 100 rc regardless of spell school.
