The Sunstring is a bowl-bodied stringed instrument with three sets of strings; on the high end, it has six strings that stretch the length of the body, and it has as well five strings stretching over a fretboard on its central neck, and five free-floating strings stretching between an offshoot of the headstock made to extend the instrument's scale length. The free-floating strings are tuned to a full octave or more below the central strings and are plucked with the thumb when playing. The high strings stretching only the length of the body are intended to be plucked with the fingertips as a part of certain chord progressions. The neck has no inbuilt frets because the musician is intended to tie gut string to the neck in order to create frets which they are free to move around in order to ensure they can perform the notes and scales they wish to use.
There are two common variants of the sunstring;
The moonstring is a bass version of the instrument, and it has an elongated neck and body, and lacks the high strings seen on the sunstring. Its strings are generally made from thicker gut than that used for the strings of the sunstring. It is typically tuned to the same notes of a sunstring, only stepped down a few octaves.
The skystring lacks the low notes on a sunstring and in their place the high strings typically get placed. Sometimes, the high notes on a skystring have an elongated scale length and connect to a bar that acts as a bridge or headstock which comes off the side of the neck, but that isn't particularly common.

The currency used in the Kingdom is minted in Jatan, the capital, and is issued in the capital's name. It is divided into Pennies, Marks, Crowns and thrones. It is also common for copper and gold pennies to be split into half-pennies for making smaller purchases than would usually be done with a penny of either material.
Copper (체) is divided into Pennies, Half-pennies and Marks. One copper mark is worth about two and a half copper pennies.
Silver (캬) is divided into Pennies, Marks and Crowns. Silver half-pennies exist, but are rare and unusual. One silver penny is worth two copper marks. Silver marks are thicker and are worth perhaps three silver pennies. Silver crowns are worth five silver marks, or roughly fifteen silver pennies.
Gold (긴) is divided into Pennies, Half-pennies, Marks, Crowns and Thrones. One gold penny is worth roughly three silver crowns. Gold marks are worth two and a half gold pennies. Gold crowns are worth five gold marks. Gold thrones are worth six gold crowns, and are the highest denomination of currency minted and recognized in the capital.
