Lionshield Coster

The Lionshield Coster was a merchant company based in the fortified city of Yartar, that operated throughout the greater Dessarin Valley during the 15th century DR. The merchant company's symbol was a image of a lion's head placed upon a wooden or metal shield. In some instances the lion was colored blue, while in others it was emblazoned over a blue background.

Purpose / Function

The merchant company were able to ship finished goods, such as supplies of armor and weapons, to small settlements and towns all throughout the northwestern region of Faerûn.

History

In the Year of the Scarlet Witch, 1491 DR, incoming shipments to the Phandalin  post were not received, indicating that bandit activity in the area had seized the goods. Linene Graywind mistakenly believe these raids were caused by the Redbrands bandits and refused to sell them weapons. The missing shipments were actually caused by goblins from the Cragmaw tribe.
