Overock Trading Company

The Overock Trading Company (also known as The Overocks, the OTC, or the Company) originated sometime during the beginning of the Third Era, and quickly became an economic force to be reckoned with. Due to the fact that it is predominantly a family organization, many of its inner workings are unclear to the outside world. Most people know three things of note:
  1. The Overock Trading Post has most any basic goods that one needs for generally reasonable prices.
  2. Being indebted to the OTC is sometimes a fate worse than death.
  3. A favor owed by the OTC is worth more than a dwarven horde.
