  • Silent Factor employees dress in black with veils, communicate via sign language with interpreters, and offer the highest security and privacy. [#worldbuilding | 2025-11-24]
  • Wicktrimmer, a local goblin, serves as proprietor of the Rarities Factor in Gosterwick and holds right of first refusal on items from Larel’s collection. [#worldbuilding | 2025-11-24]
  • The 3 statue brokers at the Inn of the Broken Head work for the Prosperity Factor, the Golden Band, and the Wisdom Factor. [#worldbuilding | 2025-11-24; archive | 2025-11-24]
