Hailing from the land of cut-throat mercantilism, the Sembians opened a trading house in the city of Arabel. While viewed with mistrust by many, they nevertheless brought a needed economic boost to the city since the absence of the Thayan enclave. The Sembians operate out of a building in western Arabel and sell wares and services from there. Individual members of the Fivestars pursue their own interests and business under the Fivestar umbrella, and as long as profits continue to flow back to Sembia, they are free to do as they please.
