Three Big Merchants

The Lucretius Merchant Association was a wealthy family-owned business, founded by the Lucretius family, a commoner-turned-aristocrat family and originated from the Durham Kingdom. 

Their business could be seen stretched across the two kingdoms and the store located in the Capital was only one of the branches of the Lucretius Merchant Association, not even their main headquarters. 

However, this particular branch had become the main base of operations in recent years. The head of the family, Oliver Lucretius had settled in the Capital, not for the profits but for the connections with the alchemists. 

The Capital didn't have an Alchemist Association, but it had ten grandmaster alchemists, each with power and wealth. 

Crazy Don stood at the head of the ten grandmaster alchemists in terms of skill and strength, but he was also the poorest of them all.
