Sunset Imports

Sunset Imports has been operated by the Vashnarstill family for decades, during which time it’s been a leading business in Kintargo, bringing in
Arcadian goods for distribution throughout Cheliax. The business’s foremost client used to be House Thrune, but now that Ravounel has seceded from Cheliax and ties with House Thrune have become complicated, Sunset Imports has fallen on hard times.

The Vashnarstills have long been proud citizens of Kintargo, but their business’s financial dependence on House Thrune made some in the family less than enthusiastic participants in the recent rebellion that resulted in Ravounel’s independence. Unfortunately, even before Ravounel’s freedom was established, House Thrune canceled all of Sunset Imports’ contracts, costing the business most of their income. The Vashnarstills responded by working hard to secure an exclusive contract with the city’s new leadership, the Silver Council. In traditional Chelaxian fashion, the Vashnarstills sponsored a theatrical banquet and other expensive entertainments. But Ravounel’s government, dedicated to principles of liberty in mercantile pursuits, was eager to establish a tradition against exclusive contracts. The Vashnarstills came off as old fashioned and decidedly unpatriotic, costing the family contracts with the Silver Council as well.

Today Sunset Imports is a struggling business. The current owner of Sunset Imports, Sedranni Vashnarstill, continues to carry herself like a Chelaxian aristocrat, seemingly unaware that she’s out of fashion—if not downright offensive—in the reborn city. Rumors that Sunset Imports have recently taken on a mysterious new client have begun to circulate on the streets.
