[edit] The Five Points Caravan
This merchant caravan is run by multiple halfling families, but any merchant is allowed to join up for any length of time. The caravan makes a biannual journey across the known world, stopping at five major cities and traveling along the five major roads between them.
The halfling families that run the caravan charge 10% of the profit those in the caravan make in exchange for guards and food. (The families themselves are, of course, exempted.)
The caravan has a set list of top quality mercenary companies they hire from, but will hire any adventurer who passes an interview with a member of the family.
The business has had its ups and downs, but has survived long enough that most any person of some worldly knowledge has at least heard of them. Due to years of healthy profit, the families have built up quite a supply of gold, but it is tied into investments spread across the entirty of its circuitous route. In any case, the Caravan of the Five Points is a welcome site to almost every town, and it is often welcomed by town fairs and celebrations.
