Favor

The peoples of the Bog Barrens, particularly lizardfolk, in addition to material currencies, make use of a particular social contract to manage economic transactions in which they trade “favor”. They have an extremely precise system of tracking favor, in which one can incur individual personal debt, or debt of one’s family, to provide goods or services for another or an institution relative to one’s own consumption of the same. The more one is in favor debt, the lower transactional value an individual has, and thus the less they are able to consume in society until they discharge said debt.
