Personality & Reputation
Kullas Aureus is one of the chief deities worshipped in the Commonwealth, and a large part of their culture. She oversees all exchanges, smiling down on fair business conduct and taking note of any foul play; Aureates believe that even the greatest of deals, if not satisfying to both parties, will not be blessed by Kullas, and thus aim for fairness in all their dealings.

Kullas Aureus was once a mortal woman living in the Commonwealth of Aureum. An all-out civil war over trade disputes was brewing when this unlikely character stepped onto the stage. Kullas was a young entrepreneur whose plain street clothes looked humble, almost raggedy, compared to the finery of the merchant lords whom she addressed at a meeting of the Parliament of Guilds. Her words were as plain as her appearance, but carried the weight of conviction, inescapable logic, and sheer commercial genius.

Kullas preached that merchants should not sink to thievery, but rather embrace the core of trade: the mutually beneficial exchange of goods and services. At the time she was still an unknown quantity and was laughed out of Parliament by the loudest influentials, but her arguments would stay even with the most obstinate commercial pirate. Opinion gradually shifted in her favor, however, when people saw just how capable she was. Without anyone having really noticed, she had come to run a business empire. She had no home and no office, instead going where the business was, “unfettered by possessions”, as she put it. Everyone she dealt with saw their fortunes improve, and this was a mighty incentive to emulate her.
