The skill of the crews on the Talvari ships are exceptional and their prices are more than reasonable for the guarantees they have! — A Satisfied Customer
The Premier Ocean-faring Trading Company
Throughout the Eight Lands, the Talvari Trading Company has become known for their impeccably skilled crews and their destination guarantees. With their guarantees in place and their crews on board, your cargo will never be safer. In the case of them losing the ship that your cargo is on, they repay the estimated worth of your goods and the fee paid for their services.
Despite pirates occasionally attempting to board Talvari ships, they are, more often than not, easily repelled by the crews, who are both capable sailors and fighters. Each ship will usually also have at least one magic user on board, allowing for magical protections as well as physical ones.
The Initial Setoff
The first ship that the Talvari Trading Company began with, was a simple vessel that was once named the Tarflower. Though the precise origins of the name are unknown, the figurehead of the ship seems to portray a dolphin cresting from the waters of the sea and that one piece of the Tarflower is housed in the company headquarters in Durmouth.
Since the decommissioning of the Tarflower, the Talvari Trading Company has grown to hold over twenty vessels, including the famous
Patrick stationed throughout the Eight Lands, bringing goods and passengers to every corner of the known world for a price.
The first Talvari of the Company was famous for his inability to turn down a shipment, and often arrived at the destination with half a crew remaining from pirate boarders, but always with the shipment intact. Through this reckless use of crew, the first Talvari became adept at navigating the waters of the Eight Lands, avoiding pirate coves and becoming more and more capable of a navigator and sailor. He continuously managed to bring cargo in time after time without damage, and after a while, suffered no more crew losses except on the odd occasion of being boarded by pirates. Some deem this to be luck, others deem it immense skill, however, it was managed, it birthed a trading company that has lasted a millennia.
