The Dragon's Banker
Finance: The lifeblood of any country’s beating heart and the life’s work of Sailor Kelstern — Merchant Banker. While wizards brood in their towers and great warriors charge into battle Sailor is more interested in the price of ore, herbs, and alchemicals carried by the trade ships. But when a spell of bad fortune and bitter rivalry leaves him scrambling to turn a profit on little more than winds and whispers, one such whisper catches Sailor’s ear— a dragon has been seen in the west. Sailor soon finds that the dragons are very real, and not at all what he expected. And they practice a very different sort of economy — one of subterfuge and fire.

Cozy Pairings
Mahogany & Teakwood is a grounding fragrance that blends deep mahogany and oak with a touch of soft musk. Warm and woodsy, this scent feels smooth and well balanced, with a gentle depth that lingers in the air. The polished wood notes create a sense of warmth and stability, while the light musk adds a subtle softness, making the overall fragrance both bold and inviting. It brings a refined, atmospheric quality to any space, like stepping into a room filled with history and character.
Why we chose this: Sailor Kelstern is more interested in the price of ore and herbs than in wizard towers or battlefield glory, and the whisper of a dragon in the west has just made his career considerably more complicated and interesting. Mahogany + Teakwood carries the deep, grounding atmosphere of a story where commerce and ancient fire turn out to have more in common than expected, the scent of old wood and quiet character and transactions conducted across a very long table with a very large creature. Light this candle as Sailor follows the whisper west, and let the rich depth of mahogany and oak fill the room like a counting house where the most extraordinary deals are struck by the least likely people.
