== History ==
===== Founding of Saphirdorf =====
Korulein first began Saphirdorf after the second collapse of the auction house primarily selling armor sets and enchanted tools to all who would buy. This practice worked well for her attracting lots of capital and regional fame to her name, but as her fame grew among the population of Katsura her name caught the ears of the king of Varn Tourm Garrigoyal Heimin a evil dictator who demanded tax upon their rightful earnings. Korulein stood against the evil deeds of Garrigoyal Heimin for some time until one night when he marched into their land and robbed three million gold coins from the vaults of Saphirdorf with an army of gremlins enchanted by his evil magic. Following the grand theft of their vaults Korulein moved south to the AWE setting up shop within the province of Encansavia upon the old Ratist capital of Strulungar at the time mayored by Hobbs Draekar an official within the AWE government. after many years of successful business Korulein decided to retire, thus selling the shop to Hobbs Draekar, and Rox Draekar another government official in the AWE. After the sale of Saphirdorf to Hobbs and Rox the town of Strulungar was renamed to Saphirdorf following the reconstruction of the town into a grand plaza and vast shopping district. This reconstruction lead to a resurgence of notoriety among the population of Eldham once again putting Saphirdorf in the minds of consumers all around the world. 
===== Saphirdorf in the A.W.E =====
Within Strulungar the addition of Hobbs and Rox Draekar to Saphirdorf's staff brought the shop into coordination with the central government of the A.W.E as both Hobbs and Rox were figures both deeply imbedded in the government structure because of their family ties. Hobbs and Rox Draekar utilized these connections to boost the name recognition of the shop and grant the shop a large amount of state resources to offer far lower prices than other markets in the region. Shortly after the departure of Korulein Hobbs Draekar would also retire from leadership of Saphirdorf passing the sole ownership and responsibility of Saphirdorf to Rox Draekar. Under rox Saphirdorf underwent extensive renovations that allowed for much larger foot traffic and product storage leading to the most remembered form of the shop to date. Using the large amount of foot traffic the shop attracted Rox Draekar would also allow the lower floors of Saphirdorf to be rented out to other merchants creating a ultimate market place for all buyers and sellers.
With all of the attention building around Saphirdorf it was only natural that the central government of the A.W.E would come knocking looking for its own cut of the profits. With Rox holding a position in the Draekar lineage he was obviously more than happy to help with their initiates - provided he got returns from their endeavors. So when the A.W.E requested loans for its expansionist war against Azenfjord in Rathnir Rox agreed to finance it with a condition for a personal estate in the countryside of Azenfjord. The war would be won with Azenfjord being annexed by the A.W.E with Rox Draekar being granted ownership of a town in Azenfjord which was quickly renamed to Saphirdorf. Unlike its Eldham counterpart Saphirdorf in Azenfjord never expanded into a large market mostly staying as a vacation home for Rox. The A.W.E-Azenfjord war would lay the foundations for a relationship between the A.W.E government and Rox Draekar as a war profiteer. While the A.W.E silently ramped up its militaristic endeavors
