A Maze of Grain+Group 4+Non Player Characters+House Doriavo

The House of the Navy and Trade.

Twenty years ago this ancient House was on the verge of collapse.  Crushed by scandals and looming debts, many members considered exile before Didem the Elder convinced them to try one last desperate gamble.  With the help of Xu Quon, he discovered the northern passages had been opened by Wryllen's Fourth Blooming, and established a thriving trade through the now open waters.  Together, they built Ohma's first sailing fleet, restoring the wealth of House Doriavo, but not its honor.  A bloody Purge was conducted to regain the trust of their fellow citizens, reducing the family to only its untarnished members.  For this (and bringing great spoils to the city), Didem was awarded the titles of Consul and then Dictator, and used them to defend the scattered descentants of the Ohmani in other lands.  These actions brought the Grasvaran into the fold and many others before his untimely death in battle.  Today his son Marko Doriavo is Consul, Grandmaster of the Navy, and Master of the House.
