The Ember Lodge

A Gaunt Ledger cell fronting as a mining speculation, really buying up Imperium bronze, scrap, and salvage cheap off the waste to fence dear before anyone else gets a price on it.
Ember Factor Orin runs the Lodge from a table in Ashfall Town's drinking-room, sending coin north and taking quiet orders from the Ledger. He pays above market for anything worth weight or worth a buyer, and asks no origin questions, then resells it dear up the line. Old temple-bronze and salvaged fittings pass through as commodity stock, priced by what a buyer will pay, nothing more. The Lodge is not subtle; in the waste, subtlety costs money you could be making.
