Some 101

Night fowls are a species of small bird native to Kusseth. They are about the size of your average quail, have black feathers and a glossy black beak. Their wings have a thin layer of chitin that runs across the front of their wings like a tiny blade and their bodies have actually been found to have an exoskeleton like a bug's beneath their feathers, they also have compound eyes like insects, this makes them a strange fusion of insect and avian features. They are The Known World's platypus. Night fowls gather together in small flocks of ten or twelve birds and have an immense attraction to shiny metal objects and this often leads them to nest in scrapyards or foundries, much to the irritation of metalworkers.

I need a big rubber stamp that says CANON on it for shit like this.

Also 1.0: The whole point of Kusseth is impracticality and inefficiency on a nation-wide scale.

Also 2.0: Am I the only one that considered the fact that a nation with a city that has living obsidian walls infused with magic in it might not possess the exact same banking system(s) as Earth and might not have something like bank insurance or an FDIC?
