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.

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. |

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. |

| I wasn't clear in my initial post. I'm interested in which game designer created the organization, and the origins of that person(s) design. =) |

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

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 =) |
