General Information
House Elariel has maintained a presence in Luthadel for a very long time. While not as financially stable as Venture, the Elariel?s are known for their market diversity which allows them to weather almost any catastrophe in a single financial sector. Politically Elariel has risen through the ranks to become second among the great houses by carefully planning her alliances, never committing to anything without considering the situation from each side.

Home & Wealth
Ancestral Home: Western Dominance
Current Location: Luthadel
Financial Avenue: Unlike most Houses which have made their fortunes specialized, Elariel?s claim to great worth is in the way they have spread their money out. Boasting of interests in fields such as foodstuffs, textiles, and iron ores Elariel works at not being pinned into any one area. If they could be said to have a specialty it would be importing and exporting of goods across the Final Empire.
Contracts
Canton of Resources: They have a large contract to provide most of the foodstuffs to the Ministry. In exchange House Elariel receives a great deal of money as well as a small (very small) amount of atium.
House Marsdale: They have a financial contract with this House for a small amount of their textile production.
House Dautrieve: Elariel has a contract importing a large amount of Dautrieve?s jewelry production in exchange for a fee and small percentage of the profits.
House Bellemont: Ten years ago Bellemont entered into a permanent alliance with House Elariel. Since then the majority of their mining production has been imported and either processed or sold by Elariel.
House Pomeroy: This is another house Elariel deals with to produce and import foodstuffs.
House Rousseau: Rousseau provides boats that move Elariel?s goods down the canals out of Luthadel and into the other Dominances.
House Champney: Champney has recently come into greater wealth buying up several foundries in Fellise. They contracted with Elariel to buy some of their iron ore.
Allies and Rivals
Allies:
-House Bellemont: Bellemont is a powerful lesser house specializing in mining iron. Bellemont has several family members married to some of the more distant Elariel cousins.
- House Pomeroy: Pomeroy has sold their production value to Elariel for a long time; their financial relationship has made them allies.
- House Dautrieve: Elariel allied with this House years ago when Dautrieve came into a large amount of silver. They turned to Elariel to help them sell their goods, and the houses have been working together ever since.
Rivals:
-House Haussau: Haussau delved into the shipping business heavily in the Western Dominance where Elariel has their original residence. They are a competitor for Elariel?s import / export business and a financial rival.
-House Atherton: This is a lesser house based in Luthadel. The Atherton family has been dealing with many of Luthadel?s foundries, some of whom buy ore from Elariel. They have been trying to compete by undercutting Elariel?s prices as they try to get their foot in the door of that market.
-House D?Aubinge: The D?aubinges have been developing their farmsteads and plantations in the Western Dominance, which is cutting slightly into Elariel?s profit margin.
Coming Soon: I hope to add a Great House to Elariel?s list of Rivals soon, I just have to work all the details out.
Keep Description
