# [[Bildrath Cantemir (and Periwimple)]] ![[Bildrath Cantemir-1779383449882.webp|right|250]] [[Bildrath Cantemir (and Periwimple)|Bildrath]] is the straightforwardly business-oriented proprietor of [[Barovia (Village)#Bildrath's Mercantile (E1)|Bildrath's Mercantile]] in [[Barovia (Village)|the village of Barovia]]. His mess of a store is the only place in town where people can purchase goods from the outside. He seems to work hard at not asking too many questions about how his suppliers (especially the [[Vistani]]) obtain the merchandise he sells. In [[003_20260520 Session 3|Session 3]], we learned from the barkeeper [[Blood of the Vine Tavern and Inn#Arik|Arik]] that [[Bildrath Cantemir (and Periwimple)|Bildrath]] is so cheap, he didn't even pay to have his own mother buried. #gossip In [[007_20260711 Session 7|Session 7]], we learned that he - doesn't leave town (has no interest in seeing the countryside) - is more concerned that [[Mad Mary]] has no money to spend at his shop than that she suffers from her crippling addiction - has no qualms selling [[Dream Pastries]], if it means increasing his profits - is proud, bordering on megalomaniacal, that his business is so established, calling himself only second to [[Strahd von Zarovich|Strahd]] in influence ## Periwimple
