THE POWERS · THE SOUTHERN FLATS

House Farroad

The Reshi caravan-trade house that kept faith with the Wheelmoot's caravan-law after the Reshi Marauders turned the southern roads from a trust into a hunting ground.

Every caravan-clan on the southern roads lost kin to the turn — the season the road-reavers who became the Marauders decided the caravan-law that had kept the Flats survivable for generations was a rulebook for marks, not for kin. House Farroad held its routes anyway, hired on guards it couldn't easily afford, and kept running the long hauls other clans quietly stopped risking. It has paid for that loyalty in coin the Wheelmoot's elders have never quite managed to match, which is the whole of why the house wants a Great House's proper standing rather than just another trade-clan's seat at the moot.

disputes{"name":"Guard the Road or Guard the Ledger","summary":"The house's guard-captains want a real standing company, paid whether or not a caravan is currently moving — insurance against another turn. The caravan-mother's own ledger-keepers say that's exactly the kind of standing cost that bled the clans who quietly stopped running routes in the first place; better to spend the coin on faster wagons and better roads than on swords sitting idle between hauls.","sides":["the guard-captains (never be caught unguarded again)","the ledger-keepers (an idle sword is a caravan you didn't send)"]}
