The Pearls

The Pearls (Marekh Sabban, Azhaya Drudach, Emerald Ward, Calimport) This is the private home of one of the few female pashas in Calimport Above. Pasha Vanda Volahrn (LE hf M6) is the half-Calishite daughter of Samiir el Volahrn, the recently deceased powerful owner of the Pearled Harp trading coster. Vanda survived only as she was living with her mother, a courtesan in Suzail. She was recently informed of her birthright as the sole surviving child of the pasha, and granted his status in Calimport provided she threw the full support of her trading coster into trade alliances favorable to the syl-pasha (whose agents put her on this pedestal). As her resources are now vastly improved, she is content to continue her magical researches and leave the day-to-day operations of the coster to others in Cormyr and here in Calimport. She does not, as some assume, remain ignorant of the political landscape and she knows who among the merchants’ circles want her dead for preventing their takeovers of the Purple Pearls coster.
