Moneychanger's Shop The Time of Troubles & Era of Upheaval Inspired By Ed Greenwood

The Westbridge Moneychanger's Shop is a banking business in Westbridge that offers money-lending and secured storage to the merchants and traders that come through the settlement. It is owned and operated by a very old man by the name of Geldrick Rost.

The bank is located on the north side of the settlement and has been well established since the early days of Westbridge. It carries a good working reputation with it's customers and the people of Westbridge. The bank was established within a well-secured building that is said to have magical wards placed all through the structure by a wizard to assist in the location remaining secure at all times.

This wizard is said to also have many valuable items stored within this bank which explains why he has helped keep this structure secure from robbers "or so that is what is commonly said around Westbridge".

The Moneychanger's Shop is fully supported by the people of Westbridge and during all business hours one can always find at least two privately funded guards stationed inside as well as outside the bank at the entrance.

The bank offers a fairly straight forward service. Individuals can deposit their hard-earned coin within the secured building and withdraw the same amount at a later date. Information about the amounts of transactions and the bank's clientele are kept secret. The banks handling fees are 3% for all coin deposits and storage (no matter the length of time the bank holds a customers coin and valuables) and 4% are non coin valuables stored within the bank.

The Westbridge Moneychanger's Shop does not offer loans to customers. It is strictly a location within Westbridge that exchanges coin and stores valuables for those in need "at a small fee of course". Storge of items has no time limit but the storage fees do adjust with the length of time the items are stored here.

Vaerion Sylharis The Time of Troubles & Era of Upheaval Inspired By Ed Greenwood

Vaerion Sylharis is a seasoned elf of many adventures to his name with silver-streaked midnight blue hair and sharp emerald eyes. He is someone who works in the shadows, gathering intelligence on cults and growing regional threats. Wielding a longsword of enchanted mithral and a lute strung with silvered strings, he is a true blend of charm and steel. Though measured in his words, there’s a fire behind them—a devotion to balance and a hatred for those who seek to unravel it.

Mara Wescott The Time of Troubles & Era of Upheaval Inspired By Ed Greenwood

Mara Wescott is a 43 year old woman, a tall woman with a no-nonsense demeanour, piercing blue eyes, and auburn hair tied back in a practical braid. A knife rests at her hip—for cutting twine and prying open crates. Mara is pragmatic and fiercely independent. She values fair trade but has a soft spot for struggling farmers. She is always blunt with her words but never cruel, and while she’ll drive a hard bargain, she won’t cheat an honest customer.

Mara spent her childhood on the road, following wagon caravans from town to town. She settled in Westbridge and took over Homestead Mercantile from its previous owner, an ageing dwarf who taught her the tricks of the trade.
