F15: Nyrondese Traders’ Hall

F15: Nyrondese Traders’ Hall. With the great influx of refugees from Nyrond during the Greyhawk Wars of the last decade came many merchants and tradesmen who elected to settle in Greyhawk itself. Now, many of these expatriates have banded together to improve trade relations with the Kingdom of Nyrond, renting this two-story building as the “Nyrondese Traders’ Hall.” These merchants decided against gaining Greyhawk citizenship, but they did manage to control some of the lucrative cloth and clothing trade between Greyhawk and Nyrond. Anyone of Nyrondese background is welcome to come in, though the merchants will make every effort to sell Nyrond-made clothing to their visitors.

DM's Notes: This building has suffered two minor fires in the last year, apparently because the merchants refuse to pay protection money to local gangs. The merchants are eager to gain the services of anyone who might guard them from local thugs and arsonists. The merchants are also not popular with the Union of Merchants and Traders for their attempts to get into the cloth trade to Nyrond, which the union feels it alone has the right to monopolize. Both sides are suing each other, but the courts are backlogged with this type of complaint; a judgment will not be swift.
