Head House Merchant

Despite the name, this position is usually an advisory one. This position is relatively new in the houses of Llurth Dreier, having come into vogue as trade has increased and Houses have risen and fallen based on their trading income. The Head House merchant usually surveys traveling merchants and other visitors to the city as well as observing prices and how well what sells in the bazaar while knowing what the House has to sell or could get into based on resources. This information is taken to the Matron Mother (or an assigned Priestess as most matron mothers still refuse to accept the full importance of trade and dirty their hands with it directly, As most Houses have little mercantile experience they usually have to hire a drow or duergar from the common population to fill this position. In fact, it is for this reason that the position has been created at all, as offering hired outsiders a position in the House not only binds them to it, but gives them prestige, increases loyalty, and reduces harassment and interference from others in the House and outside it.
