His name was not known across the lands.
Instead, his name was known across the waters. Because while
most anyone could make a crude pole, and most carpenters could make a decent
oar, Baroma’s poles and oars were, unquestionably, the best in the world.
He made them for people all over the world, and thus his
daughters (because even a craftsman has more than one interest) got used to dealing
in many different currencies.
But one customer always paid in bags of ancient coins in
small currencies.
Because after all, what else is Styx’s
ferryman going to spend money on?
