Thanks Yther for the info about the Faycitum.
In case anyone else is interested, I searched on the SOE boards and found this quote by Aristo on 12/14/09 about the question, what are Bayle Marks:
They're a currency! You can't get them or spend them yet. Eventually you will, but right now you can't. We'll announce what they do when you're able to use them.

So anyway, guess I just need to wait until they are in game.
