Joss-paper

Joss-paper was a type of parchment in Kara-Tur.

Description
Joss-paper was made from bamboo pulp. Embedded within the paper was gold leaf. A typical piece of joss-paper was roughly in size. Joss-paper was very difficult to make and only the best paper-makers were capable of producing joss-paper.

Usuage
If ambushed by a kaluk, a human could bribe the kaluk with joss-paper. Kaluks desired joss-paper so much that if offered, they lost the desire to attack the human. Instead they would add the piece of joss-paper to their cape and then find a body of water or another reflective surface in which to admire their cape.
