The Giancardis are a family of dwarven bankers who own and run the Giancardi Bank. They have several branches in the North and are considered among the best bankers on the Continent.[1]
History[]
Pogrom in Vengerberg[]
Originally from Vengerberg, the Giancardi family almost fell victim to a pogrom that erupted in the city, had it not been for the intervention of the sorceress Yennefer of Vengerberg. She saved the family, and they became eternally grateful to her.[1]
Relocation[]
After the pogrom, the family decided not to remain in Vengerberg, and they left. Molnar Giancardi relocated to Gors Velen, where he became the owner of the Giancardi Bank as well as the director of its Gors Velen branch. Other branches were founded in Kerack, Novigrad, and Tretogor.[1] The bank, but the Gors Velen branch especially, became close with the Brotherhood of Sorcerers. In return for their banking services, the mages repaid the family by, among other things, maintaining balance in the gemstone market, upon which much of the family's financial power is based.[2]
