Cheesemonger's Society
From Dreams of Hope
The blandly-named but powerful cartel that wields substantial power in Rauviz City and the surrounding area. Composed of most of the great merchant houses as well as the largest agricultural factors and transport companies throughout the former Council Lands, its halls are the truest halls of power in the region.
