Hanging above the front door of this modest trading post is a sign shaped like a wooden shield with a blue lion painted on it.
This building is owned by the Lionshield Coster, a merchant company based in the city of Yartar, over a hundred miles to the east. They ship finished goods to Phandalin and other small settlements throughout the region.
The master of the Phandalin post is a sharp-tongued human woman of thirty-five named Unknown. She knows that bandits have raided Lionshield caravans, but she doesn’t know who is responsible.
In a back room, Linene keeps a supply of armor and weapons, all of which are for sale to interested buyers. (For prices, see “Adventuring Gear” .) Linene has a few scruples, however, and won’t sell weapons to anyone she thinks might be a threat to the town.
