Frithen's and Cresh's Money Exchanges

• Both of these moneylenders are some of the most despised but needed businesses in Bloodhelm. Both businesses exchange foreign coin for local money, usually at the steep cost of 1 1/2 coin for equal value local coin. Cresh often states better to stiff foreigners then locals. They use the coin to buy foreign trade goods, because they get a better deal then those who use Tridon's money. Then they turn around and sell the trade goods for a sizable profit.


• The second reason for these businesses is to lend money. The cost here is high, as well. They charge 20% interest and enforce such interest with big, hired thugs. They do brisk business with two gambling houses so near by.


• Both buildings, which are kitty cornered from each other and the gambling houses, are small, hardly more then a hundred square feet. Each has at least three hired muscles who follow each Frithen and Cresh around to ensure they are not harmed. There are no windows and the buildings are no more then over sized offices. Money is not kept on site, but at each owners home. Cresh actually has an extra dimensional pouch which he keeps on him at all times that holds all his coin.


• Both Cresh and Frithen are human, and both are fourth generations moneylenders. They share a great grandfather who originally started the business, but his sons argued over it and split the business when he died.


• Characters might have a gambling habit and need money. Maybe they came upon a stash of old coins that need to be traded in. Maybe they need money to buy equipment as well.
