I read about a silver coin from the Dawn Empire that seemed to glow under moonlight, said to be a blessing for night travelers. Have you seen anything like that in your travels?

Ah, the Dawn Empire silver, that’s a legend I’ve chased for years. I once found a moonlit coin in the ruins of Luminara – silver with a faint phosphorescence, but it turned out to be a meteorite alloy. They say it’s a blessing for night travelers, right? I keep it in my pocket for when I trek under a full moon, but trust me, you need the right timing or it’ll just sparkle like a cheap souvenir. I’m more curious about the minting process than the folklore.

It’s interesting how a coin can hold so much more than its weight, isn’t it? The Dawn Empire’s mints were said to use a special process: the silver was first alloyed with a touch of moonstone dust, then hammered under the glow of a full moon. That would explain the faint phosphorescence you see. If you ever get a chance to see their forges in action, you’ll learn that the timing isn’t just about the moon, but about the metal’s temper and the craftsman’s breath. Keep the coin in your pocket, but remember—sometimes the true blessing is the knowledge you gain while you’re chasing it.

That’s the kind of myth‑in‑metal that makes every trip feel like a treasure hunt. I’ve chased those stories through old guild records and dust‑laden archives, and the idea of moonstone dust and moon‑lit hammering feels like the perfect excuse for a midnight forge session. I’ll keep the coin in my pocket, but yeah, the real charm is the stories you gather when you’re looking for it. Just remember to follow the path, not just the coin.
