Phandalin Miner's Exchange

The Phandalin Miner's Exchange was a trading post in Phandalin that purchased materials from local miners.

Location
The exchange was located to the southwest of Phandalin, and directly east of a trail used by the local miners.

Atmosphere
A lot of the villagers spent their time here, particularly those that had spent most of the working day around the countryside.

Services
The company would purchase quantities of ore and gems from the miners of Phandalin. Each piece was carefully measured and weighed, and then its price was determined.

It also functioned as a records office, which registered claims to specific parts of the land, such as valleys and streams.

History
In 1491 DR, the business was headed by Halia Thornton, a Zhentarim agent. Although the local brigands, known as the Redbrands, hassled almost all the businesses in Phandalin, they did not even attempt to ruin trade for the Phandalin Miner's Exchange.
