Dûsh Bank

Founded in 1526 by the orc necromancer Dûsh, the Dûsh Bank is a prime forefront of money lending in Bataf. The loans provided by the bank are generous but often come at a great price, for if the loan is not repaid the bank gets the right to the body of the money lender upon death. The bank establishments are run by alive relatives of Dûsh, with deliveries and messages being carried out by a small group of undead thralls. In addition each alive relative has a undead relative as a personal assistant.
== History ==
Hailing from a rich trading family Dûsh was send to the University of Alásháran to learn the art of necromancy. After which he would become an adventurer for a couple decades. Using the gold earned during his adventuring he financed a small bank within a city, which initially loaned out money against a certain interest rate. Dûsh had several children one of which would become the eventual heir to the bank and would start the more predatory practices the bank is known for today. This was his daughter Tûma, who also studied at the University of Alásháran. Tûma the most shrewd of Dûsh children saw a way to circumvent the strict moral rules set out by the university to prevent the raising of unwilling death. Tûma would expand the contract system, adding a clause that if a large loan is not repaid the bank would earn the rights to the lenders body and be able to raise them. Over time the specific clause would be printed in fine print and hidden well within the contracts filled with technical jargon. Aside from that the loans with this clause are very generous and often a tempting target for someone who needs gold quick. Some people have tried to scam the bank by borrowing a large sum of gold and then trying to flee the country, since then a special squad has been setup to deliver potential scammers an untimely demise.
