Jorvan Eltharion
Description
Jorvan Eltharion is a well-dressed man in his mid-fifties with the practiced ease of someone accustomed to buying rooms with his presence. His clothing is expensive but not ostentatious — the quiet wealth of a man who no longer needs to prove anything. He speaks plainly and moves negotiations forward without ceremony.
Role
One of the Merchant Princes who control trade in and out of Slew, Eltharion oversees contracts along the northern frozen routes, including the road to the gem-trading villages. His influence is economic rather than political, but in Slew, the distinction is largely academic.
