Sindria Trading Company

Help Magi Wiki by editing this page.

The **Sindria Trading Company** (シンドリア 商会 *Shindoria shōkai*) is the company founded by Sinbad. It is first headquartered in Reim when Sinbad is fourteen years old. The only goods sold initially were imports from Imuchakk but, as Sinbad travels the world, he creates alliances and negotiates trade agreements with previously isolated countries such as Artemyra and Heliohapt.

The company's headquarters is relocated to Balbadd before Sinbad travels to the Dark Continent.

## History

### A Fortuitous Beginning

After Sinbad uses his treasure from capturing Dungeon Valefor to negotiate an exclusive trade deal with Imuchakk and purchase their goods, he heads to Reim to sell the product. There, the booth he and the fellow members of his company set up is quickly shut down for not having a permit from the traders' guild. As they are packing up, a merchant who is part of the guild offers to take the merchandise off their hands for a discounted price.

 In the manga, this merchant is a nameless side character.

 In the anime, this merchant is Rashid Saluja.

While the others return to Imuchakk, Sinbad is left with three copper coins.

 In the manga, a seller accuses Rashid of theft for touching his merchandise. Sinbad uses the money he has left to pay for the product, and Rashid offers to buy him dinner to thank him.

 In the Anime, Sinbad drops a coin, and it rolls over to Rashid, who picks it up. Sinbad recognizes him as the merchant who bought their merchandise earlier and suggests he treat him to dinner.

Sinbad convinces Rashid to become his mentor on the condition that Sinbad gather 100 gold coins by a specified date. He begins to put on street performances to gather money. However, as the date is approaching, he has still not reached the goal. Impressed by Sinbad's creativity, Rashid offers him a bag of gold coins as a "listening fee" for witnessing Sinbad's performance. This enables Sinbad to officially register the Sindria Trading Company with the Traders' Guild.

By performing at the Napolia Amphitheater, Sinbad raises even more money to purchase the building that becomes the company's headquarters.

Within a couple of years of its formation, the company begins looking to expand its partners. Sinbad, Hinahoho, and Ja'far set out to the lands of Sasan and Artemyra, bringing back with them new allies and advantageous trade deals.

### Investment Fraud and the Mariadel Company

While Sinbad is away and Rurumu is busy looking after her child, Vittel and Mahad are left in charge of the company. A number of accidents at sea leave the company with a deficit. Despite Vittel's attempts to rework the budget, he could not find a way to reverse the company's status.

It is then Maader Umm Mariadel approached him with what she called an "investment opportunity." Following her advice, Vittel invested in goods from an emerging market. Although the company did not have the cash to purchase the merchandise, Maader assured him that the exchange was one of good faith, so he requested goods worth more than the company's assets. Soon after, the value of the goods the company invested in dropped to ten times below what they would have to earn to pay Maader back.

When examining the documents, Ja'far, Hinahoho, Vittel, and Sinbad discover that the value of these goods was manipulated by the Mariadel Company. Rather than take their case to the Merchant's Guild, Sinbad decides to discuss things with Maader herself in an attempt to resolve the issue before the company's assets are seized. Maader refuses to null the contract, claiming that the drop in the value of goods was a normal market fluctuation. Maader offers him the chance to fight her gladiator in a sword match in exchange for forgiving his company's debts. If he loses, he will become Maader's slave.

When Sinbad loses, he entrusts the company to Ja'far. Rurumu returns around this time and suggests that everyone must work together to rescue Sinbad. She suggests that they turn to King Rashid for guidance. After sending Ja'far to meet with Rashid, Rurumu takes on the position of head of the company. She also asks the guests Sindria Trading Company has taken in, Serendine and Drakon, to pitch in.
