Giuliano “Julian” Mercante
Architectto di Veraci

Backstory

Born to successful traders from the outskirts of the Northern Kingdoms, Julian’s early life was one of isloated luxury. His father Giuseppe was often traveling, trading and peddling his goods in foreign lands. As a result, Julian was raised primarily by his mother.

Julian was 16 when the wards fell. His father was trading in Tambry when Julian and his mother gathered their things and said goodbye to the Northern Kingdoms. They do not know whether Giuseppe is alive.

Upon reaching the new world, Julian entered the family business, during which he learned the art of trading. He always dreamed of building a city, though, and that wasn't possible until he met his best friend, Elros Cerendor. Elros saw potential in Julian, so he financed a deal for Julian to build a city. Veraci was born. However, before it was completed the Cerendors ran out of money. Both Veraci and Stirling Reserve were sold to the highest offers. Wollston invested the remaining money into Stirling Trading Company, which has acquired properties in Storm's Landing, including a vineyard, a marketplace, and a mill.

Upon acquisition of the Vineyard, Julian has partnered with a mysterious dwarf named Ehmib Onyxheart, who appears skilled with brewing. Only the future tells what is to come.

Julian is learning how to make barrels. His first attempt was an unmitigated disaster. But he is trying, and learning by looking at and tearing apart old barrels.

He aspires to partner with the dwarf Ehmib at the Storms Landing vineyards and eventually to sell his barrels and the wines they encase.

After the fourth attempt and many hours pondering his mistakes, Julian managed to assemble a barrel using parts he found in the vineyard storage. The barrel is ugly and charred to hell, but it doesn't leak. It's no good for brewing, but it might be good for storing solids.

Julian successfully restored a barrel today by taking it apart and putting it back together. He believes the barrel is suitable for brewing purposes and replaced it in the vineyard storage.
