Mahaan houses

The Mahaan houses are the nobility of the Oderan Wilds that oversee and manage the region. They are centralized in Jrusar, with upper members of the Mahaan living in the Aerie Spire, but they are present in other cities in the Wilds. There are dozens of houses, and nine individuals from various houses are members of the largely anonymous Chandei Quorum.

Ariks Eshteross believes that some in the Mahaan houses are doing as much they can to protect the people of Jrusar but others are "insidious" in their pursuit of power and abuse it. The houses are often targeted by the Hubatt Corsairs, who seek to expose the identies of the Quorum.

Known members

 * House Lumas employers of Oshad Breshio
 * House Maysoon, owner of the Mahaan Maysoon Trading Company and producer of maps
 * House Treshi, owner of three guilds, led by Armand Treshi, who is also a member of the Chandei Quorum.

Trivia

 * "Mahaan" is likely derived from the similarly pronounced Gujarati adjective for "great" (મહાન, mahān or mahāna).
