The Determiners of the Eight Winds is Olvunter's largest trading company, with trade routes stretching across the globe. They played a large part in Kara's entrance to the world stage and remain Kara's largest trading partner.

==Background==

The Determiners of the Eight Winds is a mega mercantile company formed by the Merchant Princes of Dormas. These princes were wealthy individuals and families who formed the loose federation government of Dormas. They use DEW to connect the world with trade and further each of their specialties to gain even more wealth and power. The Determiners have a hand on every continent and in almost every port west of [[The Adredahn]], connecting and facilitating the flow of goods and services across the seas. Positions as Merchant princes are not based on hereditary lines but instead on the merits and wealth of each individual. Within the last century, DEW has increased its interest in sovereign trade posts in the [[The Wilden Wood | Wilden Wood]] and south of [[Yariel]], forming colonies as they grew.

Recently, DEW became increasingly interested in some items only found in Kara. They set up a program and reactivated their trade post within Kara to export as many unique items as possible. They hired many Karans and caused a massive influx of silver into the economy.

Soon after, the export program started to wind down, and Kara was informed that a delegation from The Determiners, including the Commodore of the Accordant Archipelago, would be arriving soon. The whole affair started with a [[Determer's Gala | masquerade ball]] to introduce the representatives from DEW to Kara while hiding their true intentions for their visit, which was the recovery of a “Command Stone” stolen by a group called [[The Figh |Figh]]. A mire of intrigue, secrets, backstabbing, and backroom conversations followed, leading to [[Face Stealer Conflict | war with the face-stealer demons]]. The Determiners ultimately worked with Figh and the [[Stone Bay|Kingdom of Stonebay]] to rid Kara of the [[Face Stealers| face-stealers]] and undo the damage caused as best they could, all while sprinkling their influence into the minds of Karans. This combined effort and an act to preserve The Dermerners Of the Eight Winds' connections with Kara led to the signing of the “Command Stone Accord” between all three parties, restoring peace and trade.

'''[[Vulmar Dorlana]]''': As an enforcer of DEW, Vulmar was seen as the most active in hunting for Figh, even if Kara didn't know that was his goal at first. He worked to track down “Pirates” and other smugglers and bandits while collecting information on potential members of Figh that were known to have made landfall in Kara before The Determiner’s arrival.

'''[[Habagat Punongpuso]]''': Habagat to Kara seemed the least involved in the “Command Stone” situation. Coming to Kara shortly after the main DEW party, Habagat sold luxury goods, mangos, and soup to Kara and bought up items from the population as long as ~~you~~ could sell ~~her~~ on it, introducing large amounts of DEW gold into Kara’s economy. With her previous “personal” connection to a member of Figh, those who spoke with Habagat would be given a unique perspective on the organization. Habagat, during the war with the “face-stealer” demons, performed a ritual to reach out to her God, one that brought many concerns to Karans. This ritual led to hints on defeating the demons and their connections to the Obelisks.

'''Nimora Bloodwell''': At the time, the Mayor of Hollow Creek, Nimora, was hired by the Determiners to be their “Procurement Officer” for Kara. She was also tasked with preparations for the recent visitation of DEW representatives leading up to the war with the “face-stealers.”

Later, she was elevated to "Station Chief" for the Kara branch before the general dismissal of all Karan employees. She was also tasked with preparations for the recent visitation of DEW representatives, leading up to the war with the “face-stealers.”

'''Anders Mackay''': Hired around the same time as Nimora during the procurement campaign, Anders was tasked with the trade post’s security and setting up a DEW guard force in Kara.
