Copper Coin Collective

Location

The headquarters for this merchant guild can be found amongst the hustle and bustle of the centre of the Bazaar in Aerilon, Joriah, surrounded by shops and traders, it is a very large building with various offices, meeting rooms and research facilities. The outside looks large but not particularly ornate, however the impeccable brick exterior makes it incredibly unique to the area, the building looks roughly 5 or 6 stories tall but it's difficult to tell. The guild's emblem, a stack of coins with one coin leaning against the stack, carved into wood hangs above the door.

Inside the first level is the front desk with a lovely attendant who can guide you to where you need to go, numerous small offices for various conversations and the kitchen and cleaning facilities.

Mariselle, a human female in her early 30s, she has auburn hair that's neatly pinned into a half up style and sweet but discerning blue eyes, she wears a tailored uniform with the guild's emblem on the blazer. She adores her job and maintains a very courteous and efficient demeanor, managing enquiries, scheduling appointments and keeping the guild's operations running smoothly, she has a keen memory for names and faces and has a deep love for calligraphy, she keeps a small collection of exotic quills and inks at her desk.

Sectors

Artificer's Consortium

Underground in very well protected dug out rooms is the magic research and development sector of the collective, which can be reached from a door that looks no different to the other office doors on the ground floor, opening to a descending stair case lit by crystals embedded into the wall, casting out a gentle white light.

Projects: The Consortium is currently working on enchanted trade carts that can levitate over rough terrain and automatons to assist with loading and unloading goods.

- Master Artificer Thalmaris Gearwright, an elder gnome with an insatiable curiosity and a mind brimming with ideas, he has wiry white hair that's usually mostly tied back, although there's some parts of his hair that didn't quite make into the tie. Thalmaris leads the Consortium with a focus on collaboration and creativity.

- Archivist Elenor Brightspark, a human with a sharp intellect and a meticulous nature. Elenor is responsible for cataloging inventions and ensuring the knowledge is preserved for future generations.
