Black Lion Trading Company

Sareb is a sylvari located in a memory of the old Black Lion Headquarters in Lion's Arch. She used to work for an asura named Flummox and gave name to his golem Mr. Sparkles. Later, when Flummox needed money, Sareb sold the golem to Zojja. Some time after that she used her share of money from that trade to help Evon Gnashblade found the Black Lion Trading Company. She worked as Evon's personal assistant, or aide-de-camp, and stood in for Evon Gnashblade while he worked to secure a trade contract with the Zephyr Sanctum. As of the Escape from Lion's Arch, Sareb has not been seen, and her current fate is unknown.

Dialogue

Welcome to the Black Lion Trading Company, under the command of Evon Gnashblade. I am Sareb, his aide-de-camp.

What is the Black Lion Trading Company?

The Black Lion serves as a trading post, a currency exchange, and a gem store dealing in specialty items.

Tell me about the trading post.

The trading post allows you to buy and sell items on the open market with other adventurers. You can pick up your purchases from our representatives within.

I'd like to know something else.

I may try this. Thank you.

Tell me about this gem store.

Our gem store specializes in exotic items that are of particular value to adventuring individuals. They cost gems rather than gold.

Gems? What kind of gems?

Precious jewels available for purchase. We accept the coin of this realm and others.

I see. Let me ask another question.

Interesting. Thanks.

Why gems?

Evon prefers gems. He's funny that way.

I see. Let me ask another question.

Thanks.

Thanks. I'd like to ask something else.

Thank you for your time.

Tell me about the currency exchange.

The currency exchange allows you to sell gold for gems and vice versa. Gems are used to buy things in our gem store. Ask me about the gem store to learn more.

I'd like to know about the gem store. (same as "Tell me about this gem store.")

I have another question.

Thank you for your time.

Is the Black Lion Trading Company only in here in Lion's Arch?

We have representatives in the major cities, as well in a large number of the Lion's Arch Havens. You can pick up your purchases from them. Look for our distinctive banners!

Good to know. I'd like to ask something else.

Thank you, and good day.

Thanks for the information.

Who is Evon Gnashblade?

Evon Gnashblade left his legion in order to found the Black Lion. He believes he can use his military knowledge in the world of commerce.

Sounds amusing. Is his[sic] a harsh employer? (conditional)

He's just a big old grumpy cat. He can be found at the top of the stairs.

Thanks. Got time for another question?

Thank you. I may speak with him.

How succesful is he at that?

Quite, actually. He's well organized and very determined. I try to keep him from getting too aggressive in his competition with the other merchants.

I have another question.

I see. Good-bye.

I'd like to ask something else.

Thanks.

How did you come to work for the Black Lion Trading Company?

I've done some trading myself. I sold Zojja her golem, Mr. Sparkles.

I thought Zojja built her golem?

She's heavily customized it, but I sold her the frame. It used to belong to an asura named Flummox, but he needed the money. I used my share to help Evon found the Black Lion.

Interesting, but I've got another question.

Nice story. Thanks.

I see. I have another question for you.

Sounds like you're good at this, then.

Thank you for your time.
