Slightly to the southeast side of the Commonwealth of Gold Coins, there was a place called "Dahl Hill."
This place belonged to the Dahl family. This family, like most of the other aristocrats within the Commonwealth of Gold Coins, were merchants. Some five or six generations ago, an ancestor had relied on a little wisdom and some flexible approaches amidst wartime—the specifics were no longer testable, but it could be assumed to involve quite a fair bit of deception, violence, and conspiracy. This earned him his first bucket of gold. Then he began to engage in trading and fraudulently buying, selling, and smuggling, as well as money lending.
