Wyrmhoard

Wyrmhoard are the members of the former adventuring band The Flaming Swords. Once five, three are left; their paladin reportedly died thirty years ago, falling down a chasm, and another was caught by old age and sickness only a few years back. The stout warrior Barendon Tulsnarr holds their seat on the Merchant Assembly, but it seems the mage Casheira Ansugelt has the most authority inside the group.

Wyrmhoard doesn't produce anything themselves; instead they have contracts with various smiths, tailors, toolmakers etc to buy in quantity for reduced price; their leatherwork is an import from Calaunt, but the metalwork is a local product, coming from the Guild of Blacksmiths and Wheelwrights. Adventurers like them because here they can find all essentials and more for adventuring without having to thrift through half a dozen stores. The quality is good, with a focus on practicability and durability. One common complaint though is they still think like several decades ago when they were adventurers themselves and are slow to adapt to new ideas and innovations.

Their shop is a simple stone building with heavy doors decorated with their symbol - two hands forming a cup, filled with golden coins. A huge canvas painting covers almost the entire back wall, showing a huge green dragon, smiling happily in his sleep while some laughing young adventurers steal his hoard in overflowing wheelbarrows. The shop is staffed by an old man who seems to effectively run the place, overseeing any younger clerks with a critical eye.

Their shipments by sea are unloaded and immediately checked by custom officers of the Central Warehouse Registry (Anvil neighbourhood). From there, the Cartmans Guild transports them to assorted warehouses or in some cases directly to their destination. Wyrmhoard shipments are brought to a warehouse in the Shutters (mostly warehouses and private guards, very few residences). It is big, though they share it with a wine merchant firmly under the boot of Ambrath. There are no dedicated guards for the warehouse, but there are a couple guard stations sending out patrols, both of the City Watch and private, jointly funded by the warehouse owners.
