Azreidel

Azreidel is a moderately-sized merchant oligarchy in Northmarch. Of the three states that border Jana's Peak, Azreidel sits squarely in the middle in terms of geographic size and has unquestionably the smallest dedicated army, instead relying largely on mercenaries in times of war.

Houses
Azreidel is run by a number of wealthy and influential merchant families with holdings of numerous sizes within the state's borders.

House of Mir
The Mirs control a fairly large region in central Azreidel which is mostly farmland. They are most remarkable for the large prison built in their territory which they operate privately, accepting prisoners from the domains of all other houses. This has made the House of Mir a cornerstone in the Azreidel justice system. Their home city is not currently known.

House of Strell
The Strells are a house known for being ostentatious. Not satisfied with simply being wealthy, the Strells make a point to flaunt their wealth, and so maintain a museum for displaying the family's rare and exotic collections. Their home city is not currently known.

House of Vask
The House of Vask is a relatively small house that controls the border trade city of Dakan and surrounding territories. They are very wealthy despite their size, as trade in their city is very profitable.

House of Cormont
Through the city of Kaj'vett, the Cormonts control the Inlet, the major gateway into Azreidel from the east. They are known for being looser in the regulations on trade they permit in their domain than are the other houses of Azreidel, but they generally heavily tax goods that are forbidden in the domains of other houses.
