"The Cambist and Lord Iron" is a novelette by Daniel Abraham that follows two men: Edmund Scarasso, Lord Iron, famous as one of the most extraordinarily debauched, corrupt, and wicked nobles in the city, and Olaf Neddelsohn, a cambist (exchanger of currencies) at the Magdalen Gate postal authority, not famous at all, whose greatest vice is the reading of adventure novels. The fates of these two grow entwined as Lord Iron sets for the cambist three challenges of exchange, each with greater consequences than the last. It is considered to be an example of Rational Fic.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The story is publicly available under a Creative Commons license — in text here, here, and here, and as a podcast here.

Good Feels Good: After trading places with Olaf, Lord Iron finds fulfillment in his simpler life and his sincere decent co-workers. When he's finally accepted by them as friend he is genuinely moved.

Hookers and Blow: Lord Iron indulges in both sex and drugs, although not generally with either hookers nor blow.

Ridiculous Exchange Rates
 The Cambist and Lord Iron / int_d30dfd1c
comment
Ridiculous Exchange Rates: The convertible guilders issued by the Independent Protectorate of Analdi-Wat had no known exchange rate — not even to the system of cowrie shells that replaced them. Olaf ultimately calculated the value of the notes simply by finding the highest bidder: a glassblower's shop in Harrington Square willing to pay nine pounds and seven shillings for novelty wrapping paper.
