The Bank of Aqilia is a lending house in the Free Province of the same name that has been traditionally managed by the House of Agnolo. In ages past there were several of these institutions, Aqilia is one of the only ones that remain and certainly the largest and most well-known. It has survived by its extremely prudent underwriting policies and by buying out its healthiest competitors.
The world over, it is the primary competitor of the banking system managed by the Church of Westrun, and it is very much unlike it in one respect -- usury. Where the Oxmen simply charge fees for deposits and for the handling and clearing of various writs, the Bank of Aqilia makes its profits by charging interest on the loans that it underwrites. Repayment is assured by the longstanding policy of the Bank to hire adversaries and fund competitors of those nobles who are delinquent payers.
The current manager of the bank is Lord Jacen Agnolo.
Its magister is Perfetti.
Its chief of sages is Lynet.
The Bank of Aqilia is valued by the Oxmen at 687 gold bars.

The Freeholds
The Freeholds are those baronies which claim to be free and independent of any monarch, anywhere. Though they exist in each of the Four Lands and are fairly prevalent, they are generally remote enough to escape the attention of the Kings who make nominal claim to their lands. Still these Freeholders are active along trade routes and have come, in some cases, to be relied upon by the very ruler's whose authority they rebuff.

Sage Lynet of Aqilia
a biography by Edwir
Sage Lynet of Aqilia is an elven maid in the employ of the Bank of Aqilia, a lending house of the Old City of Aqilia. She is only the latest in a long line of bankers whose specialty is dealing with the demi-humans and their various Realms and Rulers. Lynet is specifically tasked with keeping accurate books as to the composition and resources of the various Realms. Aqilia does a niche business in ancient coins, and that alone.
