Owyrie shells

The dragonborn and orcs of Teriv, in addition to trading in precious metals and taiyonite with western merchants, and wezi with the south, further use the small shells of the owyrie – a mollusk native to the coasts and rivers of Teriv, as currency. It is notable that owyries cannot be farmed, as their breeding and habitation conditions are extremely particular, and they are notoriously difficult to forge, altogether making them a very suitable currency. They are also used, to a degree, in the Bog Barrens.
