Mobile Trade Stations of House Malor
Posted on August 4, 2025 in Steel-Realms
House Malor monitors some of the trade across the Nanford River and over the pass into Tarmysia. To this end, they set up temporary “House Stations” for lodging and work. They are NOT there to keep order or enforce the law per se, but merely to observe and report back to their order on the stability of the current methods and processes. They do not intervene in any disputes unless the Duke of Dunstrand orders them to. They have been known to intervene when the flow of trade is disrupted, but never consistently take a “side” in anything over thousands of years (much to the dismay of all parties). It is believed that they are virtually immune to bribery, because it has been tested.
Faction within the Order
The “Mercantile Maids” of Dunstrand as many derogatorily call them, are a faction of 6-10 wizards with some training who perform the trade monitoring. These are some of the lower ranks of the order’s members, and after a year or two they often move on to more important positions. The amount of traveling involved assists them in gaining more knowledge of the duchy.
Rhylan High Traders (Rhyl)
Posted on August 4, 2025 in Steel-Realms
The west of the Grand Duchy of Rhyl is dominated by a conglomerate called the Rhylan High Traders. In addition to the open roads outside the forests, they and their affiliates in the wooded areas have come to finance roads and repairs for the benefit of all. This generated much good will initially, and turned them into a power unto their own. Now they have a stranglehold over much of the trade west of the Red March itself. The conglomerate itself is registered as a Trade Organizations/Institution of the Realms, though not all it affiliates.
They have minor political power and great economic power. They determine a lot of which mercenary companies are in favor and hired in their territory, sometimes at odds with the supposed neutral Mercenary Guild of the north.

Omachaen Partners (Rhyl)
Posted on August 4, 2025 in Steel-Realms
On The Red March within the Grand Duchy of Rhyl, simply put, the Omachaen Partners handles the buying (very little goods are sold) of the supplies from the local area and from the port at _ that travels along The Red March itself. They are a registered Trade Organizations/Institution of the Realms.
Originally, it was the previous baron of Redmark’s brother, but the split in bloodlines goes back over a thousand years and there is loyalty only to the mission of keeping supplies to North Gate Garrison flowing – and they have proven themselves many times over to be willing to sacrifice to ensure it.
So important is the stability of the flow of manpower and goods along The Red March, this trading house is known to directly interface with the “Mercantile Maids” of Dunstrand faction within House Malor there.

Norblan Hostelers and Haulers (Rhyl)
Posted on August 4, 2025 in Steel-Realms
In the east of the Grand Duchy of Rhyl, on the land, the Norblan Hostelers and Haulers are the dominant merchant business and a registered Trade Organization/Institution of the Realms. There are a few small ones, and for the most part, the equilibrium that they managed to settle on has stood for over 400 years and does not look to be changing any time soon. The Norblan Hostelers and Haulers are the most recognized and known merchant organization in the County of Dunaine, all the way west to the The Red March in most cases.
Up against the mountains, the higher danger and higher cost smaller merchants dominate, but taking to the larger markets and to the Red March, the Norblan merchants handle the trade.
In addition to trade in eastern Rhyl, Norblan Hostelers and Haulers operate several hostels in major towns and cities.
