Quaestus

Introduction


Quaestus, a trading post home to a number of merchants of Templehelm. It's inhabitants claim to be descended from the Tiller family of Ironshard. The settlement is known for it's well stocked stores, and is a location traveled from afar by many traders seeking a good deal. It is similar to Ironshard in it's economy, though Quaestus's economy relies less on mining and farming, and more on it's use of airships and carts to conduct trade throughout Templehelm.

The settlement is located roughly 1000 meters North, and 1600 meters West from the centre of Templehelm, perched atop two rocky peaks.

Services
Trading Sevices

The Quaestian traders will always agree to trades they believe can benefit them. So if you're looking to sell or purchase rare items, they will be more than happy to purchase or acquire the goods for you. The traders primarily deal in rare items, though will agree to bulk purchases of cheeper goods on occasion.

Transport Services

The airships of Quaestus are well suited to transporting goods and even people throughout Templehelm. These services can be rented if they are ever needed. Perhaps you need to transport a large amount of goods over a long distance, or simply disagree with walking?

Banking Services

Loans can be taken out from the Quaestian Bank, at a small rate of interest. Your expensive goods can also be safely stored in our vaults. The prices for all banking services are agreed for each deal between client and the Quaestian bank, as there are no fixed prices.

Annexation by Evorga


Due to a decline in the use of Quaestus as a trading settlement, and the good relations between the factions of Quaestus and Evorga (due to a number of previous trading agreements), a deal was made between the two factions in regards to an annexation taking place.



Quaestus was merged into Evorga to act as a trading post for the faction, which was closer to the other areas of Templehelm, in return for becoming part of Evorga, Quaestus is now supplied with materials for construction projects, and is supplied with goods to sell on behalf of Evorgans.

- - - All goods are still sold as usual in the settlement, and additional ones may also appear if Evorgans choose to sell wares here - - -

Quaestian Peacocks
Peacocks are known to roam the forest surrounding Quaestus. They look extremely similar to chickens, though the males of the species have large cyan tail feathers and are cyan coloured with a slight golden tinge. The males are also extremely aggressive if threatened, travellers are advised to treat them with caution.
