Port Nyanzaru is ruled by seven merchant princes. Each family started as small traders and, over generations, ended up with a monopoly on its trade. They tolerate each other at a distance and are never in the same room unless there’s a crisis. Each has its own guards and its own livery in the Grand Souk. Zindar keeps the port running for all of them.

Licensed goods are sold in the Grand Souk; the Red Bazaar is the unlicensed trade they ignore.
