       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
  HTML http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharur_%28mythological_weapon%29<br
       />and the legendary hammer Mjölnir
  HTML 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]20 E (20 Emblem; has two pixies and is made of platinum;

       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).
