Does anyone know who created the Emporium? How/why did they come about to create it?
I loved the catalogue that was created. It was an interesting way to create an Equipment Handbook, while tying it into the world. Very cool idea.
The organization though seems to be a bit over the top.

You're welcome Wenin.
We all need other scribes to achieve our own (re)quests.
Great projects are unmeasurable, unpredictable till they're really completed !
P.S. : your link remind me this Yahoo group I suscribed long ago. Is it still developping ? I have no news for several months. What about you (you can PM to answer in order not to invade this topic !) |

Fillow, thanks for refering me to that page of the catalogue. I had forgotten reading that page when I first purchased my copy. =)
Maybe things just took on a life of their own, when they described the fantastic nature of the organization (on staff wizards teleporting orders to a central warehouse that moves about once a year) within the Cloak and Dagger supplement, which brought about my original post.
Thanks again Fillow =) |

I would say that your answer is in the 4th page of the catalogue.
Anne Brown seems to be the one who created the idea of this catalogue.
She and J. Robert King designed the final concept with Ed and Jeff cooperation.
This page explains the way she did it.
But I might misunderstand your question. So excuse-me. |

Well, as I said, she was originally stat'd in the 2e campaign box set, so you could go ask Ed. |

And the 2e City of Splendors tome also features some info about Aurora and her operations in Waterdeep. |

She was first stat'd in the 2nd edition box set. :)
As for her catalog, it was designed by many different game designers at TSR. |

Aurora's organisation has a write-up in Cloak & Dagger. It was created, to no one's great suprise, by an Aurora. A retired adventurer mage who wanted to keep doing interesting work without facing dragons and liches all the time, or so one presumes.
If you can get the book, I highly recommend it for good write-ups for many Realmsian organisations. |
