Aramil Dreamwalker

Aramil Dreamwalker doesn't talk much about his past. He was born somewhere around Koban to middle class parents. Aramil went to primary school in Koban but went to Garanth later in life to study economics and magics. He graduated with high honors and moved back to Koban.

Aramil began his business ventures as a door-to-door textile salesman. He purchased silk from a local manufacturer and would sell it as a high quality product to wealth families in Koban. When he made enough money, he opened up a textile store in the middle of Koban, selling individual rolls of linen, wool and silk. As his business expanded further, he hired tailors and other craftsman to produce high fashion clothing the he could mark up and sell to wealthy people as unique designer outfits, mostly specializing in robes.

The business grew and grew and soon Aramil found himself the ire of other cloth companies in Koban. They began to undercut his silk prices, trying to force Aramil out of the clothing market. Aramil was not deterred, he traveled to Fore-Etum with the intent to capitalize on the market there, but was instead met with the same opposition that had targeted him in Koban. With the Fore-Etum company branches locking him out of their market, Aramil returned to Koban bought a cart and two horses. He loaded the cart up with his wares, appointed a trusted employee to manage the Koban store, and traveled north.

Aramil went through the (at the time) young city of Valleygate where he found less influence from the companies of Koban. He was able to sell a few things but moved on after spending the night there. He traveled through the jungle region of Tanglevine, emerging from the other side to the tower of Edgeboro. There, Aramil was able to sell the remainder of the wares, usually for gold but also managed to gain a large supply of animal pelts that the locals often collect. With his stock depleted he made his way back south and arrived back at Koban. His company was straining under the aggression that the other textile companies was putting on Aramil's business, and the money Aramil brought back kept it from going under. Furthermore, Aramil was able to convince buyers of the rarity and exotic nature of the furs he returned with and sold out of them within a week, despite inflating the price. Almost overnight, the company went from the verge of bankruptcy to financial success.

After that, Aramil began to schedule regular caravan journies north, taking advantage of a niche in the already profitable city of Edgeboro.
