el-Hadid

Guilder of the Port of Call Exchange operating in eastern Avonlae   The merchant, el-Hadid, hates to spend his money, but he will if doing so gains him greater influence.

El-Hadid owns the Port of Call Exchange. He came to Avonlae about 12 years ago (1639 MA) with a ship full of spices and silks, creating an instant demand for the luxury items. Ever since, he has maintained a reputation as the best supplier of fine Khinasi goods in the Eastern Marches.

El-Hadid has a fleet of several ships that continuously make the run between Rockwell and Ariya. With the money he  makes from his shipping interests, he has slowly branched into land interests. He's making headway against his  competitors, especially Siele Ghoried, who seems a little too naive for the business. Orthien Tane and Guilder Kalien remain el-Hadid's most pressing opponents, as neither is above using a little judicious muscle to back up business interests.
