Bargaining shop #
The Guardian of the Scales is not only a highly experienced master of honest exchange, but also a tireless researcher of the ancient crafts of trade. The Trade Guild unanimously elected him as Honorary Chairman, as the most knowledgeable in the intricacies of exchange and balance.
The Libra Keeper always tries to offer a fair price - one that he himself considers fair. But the shop is always full of guests, and prices can change at any moment. Now something seems profitable, and in a couple of minutes - not so. So if you like the offer, it is better not to wait too long. While you are thinking, someone else can buy everything first.
The Libra Keeper takes a modest but fair commission from each transaction - this is his payment for his work, for maintaining order and balance in the shop. He does not strive for profit, but only receives his share for exchanging valuables honestly and conscientiously. It is this commission that makes up the entire income of the Bargaining Shop, allowing it to exist and receive guests from the most distant corners of the clone world.
Payments from profits #
As a sign of respect for the guild’s charter, he pledges to donate half of the Bargaining Shop’s profits to the benefit of the clone lands’ economy. He calls this gesture a “weight contribution” - a symbol of balance between personal gain and the benefit of all the shop’s guests.
