Kemble Bank

Location: Main Street (18)

Services: Financial services

Key NPCs: Ilia Kemble (female human banker)

Kemble Bank is a small financial institution offering basic savings and loan services to the people of Quickstone. Ilia Kemble saw a thriving community in Quickstone, yet one too small to draw the interest of House Kundarak. Kemble Bank has provided good service to the town, and helped many settlers find their footing. But now, House Kundarak is building its own enclave in Quickstone, right next door to the bank. Toln Kundarak has offered to buy the bank from Kemble, merging it with the enclave; so far Ilia has refused, but Kemble Bank can’t possibly compete with the services Kundarak will be able to provide.

Kemble Bank is a simple bank, with a small but solid vault equipped with an Arcane Lock. It has a set of safety deposit boxes, and offers small loans for sound investments. Ilia Kemble is a young entrepreneur and is always looking for new opportunities. Recently, she’s been working with the kobold community. Following a robbery, the kobolds have taken to assigning someone to watch over Kemble; there’s typically an alert kobold standing ready to protect Ilia from any threats.
