The Northwestern Trading Company, or NTC for short, is currently looking for potential members. Merchants, sellswords, and navigators welcome! The NTC seeks to become - first and foremost - an economic powerhouse across the northwestern region of the Overworld. But it can become so much more than that, though we won't get into it right now. Everyone will meet/begin at the Varan port of Bleakharbor. We'll discuss our plans there. You and your crew will be given some trading supplies and a ship. The main purpose of participating in this group will see your characters' exploits as you travel to other places, trade, negotiate trade agreements, open up markets/warehouses, manage stock and inventory, fight off pirates and bandits, and even build new towns and cities! Bleakharbor is the current headquarters.thefantasysandbox.boards.net/thread/525/bleakharbor-asgeir

I'm in. Since this is supposed to be my OOC account, a job like that would be good for me.

You need only post in Bleakharbor for now. Since only you and Robert Fletcher are interested, I might let you guys accompany me (as Dorman Bovar) to the Free City, where we'll try to open up a Warehouse and Office. We currently own a warhouse in Bleakharbor (Asgeir). Let me explain the whole trade system I'm thinking for now: Basically, trade already exists, I am sure. However, we seek to improve/exploit it.For this exercise, assume we've already established a Warehouse and Office in the Free City. Basically, an Asgeirian trader will no longer need to travel all the way to the Free City to trade his goods, and vice versa. Rather, he just sells his entire load to us in Bleakharbor (for a wholesale price, of course), which we store in the Warehouse there. We then transport multiple multiple loads to the Free City ourselves (we will hire wagon drivers and mercenaries to do this for us), which is stored in the Free City warehouse. There, we sell those goods individually, as we will hire vendors which sell them for us in the Bazaar (and as history suggests, foreign products from Asgeir being sold in the Free City is a valuable enterprise); otherwise, we sell those goods in bulk for higher prices than we bought them for, to individual traders and merchants. We'll also seek to do this via the sea. We seek to open more warehouses in places like Perimoore, the Phoenix State, etc... As a player, your job will be to secure these deals and participate in the negotiations, as well as act as a representative of the NTC if such a need arose. You may be a trader. Or a mercenary. Perhaps the city's leaders will want tax, I don't know. Bleakharbor: thefantasysandbox.boards.net/thread/525/bleakharbor-asgeir
