## From the Knowledge Book

**Neruda Shen**

His first career was as an alchemist, but his life changed greatly after he began running a merchant guild. He recruited skillful blacksmiths to the guild and eventually became the chief negotiator who won the rights for Mediah to supply both sides with weapons in the war between Calpheon and Valencia.

He was highly trusted by the Mediahn royal family before their downfall, and he played a huge role in the establishment of Altinova by attracting investment from abroad.
