of the 3 merchant families in sunset valley, True power lies not in there martial ability but in money and as the saying goes money answereth all things hence the young masters of his family can afford to hire the best guards, court the most beautiful women and purchase the best martial arts. Through hundreds of years of careful planning by the patriarch the family has been able to secure a stable footing in the county and also amass a better than average martial library which is open to members of the clan excluding the slaves.
