Nazdakaida (pronounced nahz-dah-KAI-dah), or Nazdak to his acquaintances, is a copper dragon who lives within the Kurzag Mountains, southeast of Cedarwood in Tamkaranu. Like most copper dragons, Nazdakaida has a whimsical streak and is perfectly willing to engage in conversation with visitors, though most come seeking not his jokes but rather his financial expertise and services.
Similarly to most other dragons, Nazdakaida strongly values his hoard. Unusually, however, he prefers to hoard items that grow in value on their own. As such, rather than simply collect coins, precious metals, gems, and expensive wines, he uses these items to purchase stocks in mercantile operations. Nazdakaida owns shares in merchant ships, Tamkaranu trade coalitions, and other endeavors that span the Chaska and Kilche seas, and reaps a continual profit as a result.
Nazdalaida's hoard is physically smaller than those of most other copper dragons, but in value is vastly higher.
The dragon is known for his financial shrewdness and breadth of knowledge about trade, and he is sometimes sought after by those who desire advice in their own investments. Nazdakaida is generally willing to freely provide this type of information, though he is careful not to undercut his own interests.
Though he currently lives in a restored ancient cliffside complex of dwarven design, Nazdakaida traveled far in his younger age, across the Taizzan Expanse and the entire southern coast of the Chaska Sea. He continues to maintain a small network of acquaintances in places as distant as Amshan, Eretrebus, and Mostagedda.
