Alan Mors a name on many lips in the last five years.from the most wretched a begger to the wealthiest of nobles around the blood river.
In one way or another if one investigated properly you'd find. Yourself in business with the young gentleman. Be it the baker who borrowed money, the mage who uses him for supply of goods that shouldn't see the light of day or the nobles that want to make an incident disappear permanently.
The company became so famous that it became known as the wishing well, able to meet almost all wishes.
The man behind all this Alan Mors and his sister Ana Mors became the stars of the blood river.
With Alan Mors taking on the dealings with the underworld and the merchants while Ana Mors dealt with the mages and the nobles as she was not only a talented mage that reached the level 1 without connection to a noble house but also had formed connection s with professors of the royal magic academy.
With their location at the source of the blood river that cuts through the empire in half , the Mors trading company quickly grew to one of the top trading cooperations in the empire.
The fact that more than three quarters of the of the major cooperations are headed by the nobles, many thought they'd be absorbed yet after five years of operation they remained independent . To those who didn't know the circumstances of this occurrence, it was miracle and to those that knew , the mear mention of the Mors family sent shivers down one's spine.
A few families that went against them falling to financial ruin is one thing but the fact that they fended off the onslaught of a level 3 noble family shocked the empire to it's core.
After all these are the direct surbodinates of the great noble families yet it had been defeated.
Although no moves were made directly by the offended noble families , the trade companies below them had tried to place an unofficial embargo on their goods and services only for the Mors trading company to use this moment to collect the power of trading companies not under noble influence to form the traders association and approach the imperial family heavily ' lobbying' them to pass stricter laws to promote fair trade in the empire.
This not only put the noble families in the limelight but also gave the imperial family a chance to suppress the nobles faction that had gotten out of hand over the years .it not only issued stricter laws on trade but also stripped the nobles of their privileges in trade .
These were the same privileges that enabled them get an edge over the commoners and wreck in most of their wealth .this almost sparked a civil war if not for the fact that this in stilettoes accused of colluding with enemy races and executed with others mysteriously disappearing from the world and others meeting unfortunate accidents on the midst of it.
It was at such a moment that the royal family requesitioned the Mors trading company for the production of weapons and amour something never before seen by this world.
It seems the Mors company did not disappoint for it went above and beyond producing weapons that the imperial family classified as top secret and not to be used with in the confines of the empire. With support from the imperial family, the Mors grew so powerful the empire conferred upon them an honorary title of 'prima cvus' giving the family the right not to bow before the imperial family.
This may seem to have decreased the imperial family's dignity yet over time it only enhanced it , after all even the nobles had to bow with commoners kneeling in the presence of the imperial family yet only one family was given the exception. This not only reminded the empire of this obscure law but pointed out the fact that the nobles had been breaking said law for some time now.
This humbled the nobles of the empire and prevented them from acting rashly for the time being.
Yet what can truly put the nail in the coffin for the nobles was the proposal to restructure court .
