Shops and Jobs

When The Saebjorn Crew arrived, the town of Hofborg was in dire financial straights. Money was absolutely crucial to the town's survival, and the Captain of The Saebjorn invested money not just into repairs but into hiring townsfolk and craftsmen. At this time, most of the town folk either run their own private shops or work for the mercantile arm of The Saebjorn known as the Company.
