Revision 1

Overview

Edmond is a vendor who operates a Livestock Black Market at a farmhouse in the Hernand region. Unlike the legitimate merchants found in Hernand's town center, Edmond deals in questionable livestock trades that sit firmly outside the law. Nobody in the area knows where he came from. He appeared out of nowhere one day and began buying up livestock, and his real identity remains a mystery to the local farmers.

Because Edmond operates illegally, interacting with him carries risk. The Law System in Crimson Desert tracks criminal activity, and purchasing from black market dealers can affect your standing with local authorities. Players who value a clean reputation should weigh the benefits against the potential consequences before doing business with Edmond.

Location

Edmond runs his operation from a Hernand Farmhouse, located in the rural outskirts of the Hernand region. The farmhouse sits away from the main town, surrounded by agricultural land. His setup is deliberately remote to avoid drawing attention from House Celeste authorities. Grimrak operates a Back Alley Shop at the same farmhouse location, making it a small hub for illegal trade.

Inventory

Edmond specializes in livestock trades. His exact stock and pricing fluctuate, as black market inventories tend to change based on availability. The types of animals he deals in are not found through legitimate vendors, making him the only source for certain livestock in the Hernand area.

Players looking for specific animals to use on their farms or for quest purposes may find Edmond the only option, especially for breeds that the official Hernand markets do not carry.

The Law System and Black Markets

Edmond's Livestock Black Market is one of several illegal trading operations scattered across Pywel. The Law System monitors player behavior, and repeated dealings with black market merchants can lower your standing. If guards catch you in the act or if your reputation drops far enough, you may face penalties ranging from increased vendor prices at legitimate shops to being refused service entirely.

The other black market operators in the Hernand region, Grimrak, Groks, Prox, and Serge, deal in different goods but share the same legal risks. Players who want to use black market services without too much exposure should spread their purchases across multiple dealers rather than concentrating all their illegal trades through one vendor.

Tips

• Edmond shares the Hernand Farmhouse with Grimrak, so you can visit both black market vendors in a single trip.

• If you need livestock for a quest and cannot find it through legitimate channels, Edmond is likely your only option. Check his stock before resorting to hunting in the wild.

• Keep an eye on your Law System standing. Buying from Edmond occasionally is manageable, but frequent visits to black market dealers can compound penalties.

• Edmond's mysterious background suggests he may be tied to a quest or storyline. Pay attention to dialogue and rumors from nearby NPCs for potential leads.
