	Cypher
	By: Dianke Date: February 25, 2015, 7:19 am
	---------------------------------------------------------
	Cypher is one of the seven natural Newerthian continents.
	[hr]
	NAME:
	Pronunciation: sIfu(r)
	IPA: /ˈsaɪfə/
	[hr]
	KNOWN LOCATIONS:[list]
	[li]Amaranth City: a port city to the east of the Grand Cypher
	Cliff. Amaranth flowers bloom here and, as one of the Eight
	Cities of Neia, people keep voting it for the "Best City of Neia
	of the Year" award, yet it keeps losing to another continent.
	The mayor calls it a running gag, however.[/li]
	[li]Fenrir Village: a village constructed by the Hero of
	Amaranth, and as such it is one of the Eight Heroes' Villages.
	Fenrir's shrine is said to contain the legendary mace Sharur
	http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharur_%28mythological_weapon%29<br
	/>and the legendary hammer Mj�lnir
	http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mj%C3%B6lnir.
	The houses are
	actually built inside giant trees, as the inhabitants wish to
	live as close to nature as possible. As such, they have no
	electricity or electrical appliances, nor do they know how to
	use these.[/li]
	[/list]
	[hr]
	CURRENCY:
	Cypher uses Emblem and Emblemite (plural unchanged for both) as
	their currency. Emblem have the current ruler's emblem on the
	coin/bill, which are magically enchanted to change whenever
	there is a change of rulership. In addition to this, there is
	some or other thing on the coins/bank notes that represent the
	continent. Contrary to Earth's money, "bank note" in this case
	means "rectangular money" and can be made of anything, even
	paper.
	The coins and bills work as follow:
	[list]
	[li]1 e (1 Emblemite; has an amaranth flower and is made of
	copper; coins)[/li]
	[li]2 e (2 Emblemite; has two amaranth flowers and is made of
	copper; coins)[/li]
	[li]5 e (5 Emblemite; has five amaranth flowers and is made of
	copper; coins)[/li]
	[li]10 e (10 Emblemite; has one protea flower and is made of
	silver; coins)[/li]
	[li]20 e (20 Emblemite; has two protea flowers and is made of
	silver; coins)[/li]
	[li]50 e (50 Emblemite; has five protea flowers and is made of
	silver; coins)[/li]
	[li]1 E (1 Emblem; has one cheetah and is made of gold;
	coins)[/li]
	[li]2 E (2 Emblem; has two cheetahs and is made of gold;
	coins)[/li]
	[li]5 E (5 Emblem; has five cheetahs and is made of gold;
	coins)[/li]
	[li]10 E (10 Emblem; has one pixie and is made of platinum;
	bank note)[/li]
	[li]20 E (20 Emblem; has two pixies and is made of platinum;
	bank note)[/li]
	[li]50 E (50 Emblem; has five pixies and is made of platinum;
	bank note)[/li]
	[li]100 E (100 Emblem; has one winged pig and is made of
	cobalt; bank note)[/li]
	[li]200 E (200 Emblem; has two winged pigs and is made of
	cobalt; bank note)[/li]
	[li]500 E (500 Emblem; has five winged pigs and is made of
	cobalt; bank note)[/li]
	[/list]There is 100 Emblemite in 1 Emblem.
	[hr]FLORA AND FAUNA:
	Cypher is unique in that it has life that can only be found
	naturally on the continent. Other continents may have imported
	these rare lives.
	Cypher-unique life includes amaranths, proteas, cheetahs, pixies
	and winged pigs (which give literal meaning to "when pigs fly",
	basically).
