Merchant Lords
It is not unusual that power goes hand-in-hand with money in Khavica for there are many places in Lamera (and elsewhere) where that is true. What is unusual about the way things work in Khavica is the extent to which this relationship is embedded in laws. The Merchant Lords are the ruling council of Khavica, comprised of a single representative from Khavica's seven wealthiest houses.
Structure
The Merchant Lords are a council of representatives from the seven most powerful merchant families of Khavica. The most senior member of the council serves as the Demagogue, effectively the speaker of the Hall of Lords.
Public Agenda
The ultimate goal of the Merchant Lords is to ensure the flow of gold through Khavica at all costs (and into their own pockets.) They seek to maintain the balance between the profits brought in and regulating any conflicts that threatened to disrupt this prosperity.
