Winterhaven Trader's Bank The Nerath Campaign & The Nerath Timeline The current year for our Nerath campaign is set during the year 103AE. Inspired By Gary Gygax

The Winterhaven Traders Bank is a banking business in Winterhaven that offers money-lending and secured storage to the merchants and traders that come through Winterhaven. It is owned and operated by a very old man by the name of Stephon Winterghast.

The bank is located on the north side of the settlement and has been well established since the early days of Winterhaven. It carries a good working reputation with it's customers and the people of Winterhaven. The bank is established within a well-secured building that is said to have magical wards placed all through the structure by the wizard "Valthrun" to assist in the location remaining secure at all times.

Valthrun also has many valuable items stored within this bank which explains why he has helped keep this structure secure from robbers.

This local bank is endorsed by lord mayor Ernest Padraig and during all business hours one can always find at least two guards stationed inside as well as outside the bank at the entrance.

The Bank
The bank offers a fairly straightforward service. Individuals can deposit their hard-earned coin within the secured building and withdraw the same amount at a later date. Information about the amounts of transactions and the bank's clientele are kept secret. The banks handling fees are 3% for all coin deposits and storage (no matter the length of time the bank holds a customers coin and valuables) and 4% are non coin valuables stored within the bank.

The Winterhaven Traders Bank does not offer loands to customers. It is strictly a location within Winterhaven that exchanges coin and stores valuables for this in need "at a small fee of course". Storge of items has no time limit but the storage fees ddo adjust with the length of time the items are stored here.

The proprietor of this establishment is Alaster Grendis, who is a elderly half elf. He has tan skin, a groomed mustache and beard and blond hair and carries himself very well. He employs a couple of young clerks (Vander and Terrick) who help load and unload wagons, and who wait on customers when Alaster isn't around.

Virtually all sorts of saleable goods are offered here. Rare and/or unusual items might be obtained at a price and in time (and will often be spurious or faulty). Magical items are NOT sold here ever! The store itself is medium sized at best. Alaster's Provisions is a large trading house in Winterhaven.

The store is located on the south side of Winterhaven, and to the west of owners home. It is the first shop that will be seen when entering Winterhaven from the settlement from King's Road.

Alaster's Provisions acts as a general store, and is open from dawn until dusk. It sells low-cost trade wares, such as adventuring gear, as well as rations and other simple goods, and is perhaps the only place in the entire region that carries specialty skull-shaped butter from Stonespine Ranch "located a little under a mile south of Winterhaven". However, they do not sell weapons and armor or potions, but Alaster will helpfully direct interested buyers to places where they could find these. For larger orders, Alaster will supply a cart pulled by his ox to move the goods "for a price of course".

Alaster's Provisions also serves as a trading hub. Clerks will unload and load carts of goods and resources that they come into, or were to go out of, Winterhaven via wagon. Alaster also brokers deals for large sales of livestock and similar goods, bringing together local sellers from as far away as Fallcrest with buyers as far afield as Nenlast.

Anna Stelton owns this business, providing travelers with tack, harness, stabling, shoeing, wagons, and just about anything dealing with horses, mules, or ponies. She keeps a larger corral about a mile outside of town, and at any given time Anna has several riding horses, draft horses, or mules in his paddock near Wizard’s Gate. The young lady is an excellent source of rumors, since she sees the travelers coming or going by the roads. She is a friendly fellow of about forty, with a large brood of children at his home out in the countryside.
