“You are not sure? Well, then I suggest you go away until you are sure. By Phex, I don’t conduct business without knowing all the potential pitfalls.”
As heir to the Stoerrebrandt trading empire, which relocated from Festum to Gareth a few years ago, Emmeran is by far the richest man in Aventuria. Even though many still refer to Emmeran’s father, Stover, when talking about the wealth of a Stoerrebrandt, almost everything said about the trade magnate also applies to his son. He is a patron of crafters and the arts, he employs countless workers in warehouses, manufactories, and cartwrights, and he regularly gives alms to the poor and supports soup kitchens in the capital. His reputation is everything and he honors every agreement made before Phex.
Emmeran Stoerrebrandt is an almost merciless creditor, and people should never underestimate his influence over the rich and powerful. His trading empire includes a courier service and even owns an entire island in the South Seas. In addition, he holds shares of the Northland Bank and maintains his own mage academy at the Stoerrebrandt College (with branches in Riva and Wagonhold). To keep his edge over his competitors, he often funds expeditions to the Far North and distant Uthuria. As a result, the trading house is always looking for brave heroes who can offer protection to his merchants and scouts.
