Overview
Trader Hassan travels from distant desert lands to trade at the Buried Temple, bringing goods from cultures and regions that Aeternum has had no diplomatic contact with for decades. He is the primary source of desert-region materials in the game and carries cultural knowledge that places him in a unique commercial and lore position.
Background & History
Hassan's trade route connects the Buried Temple to three desert city-states that maintain formal neutrality in the vampire-werewolf conflict by virtue of geographic distance. He makes the journey twice yearly, arriving with goods that are unavailable anywhere closer and departing with materials that fetch premium prices in markets Aeternum has no direct access to. He has been making this route for twenty years, has been robbed eleven times, and has always recovered his investment because the margins are extraordinary and the robbers consistently underestimate his contingency planning.
Personality & Allegiances
Warm, storytelling-inclined, and possessed of the easy confidence of someone who has negotiated trade across three cultures and survived all the social failures that education process involves.
Vampire affinity: 50% | Werewolf affinity: 50%

Interaction & Tips
