Khimera; Merchant Princes

Merchant Prince is a gender-free title unique for Khimera Kingdoms.
Granted for dozen richest merchants at time, this title ensures hight respect and recognition of personal skills for the holder.
Indeed a Merchant Prince, or more commonly, a person appointed by one as their substitute, holds a chair in the Assembly de Ivora; the ruling organisation of the Kingdoms, making up one third of Assmebly representatives.

Due to requirements of holding the position, some of the title holders only bear the honorific year or two before being replaced by someone more successful, while others bear it from the moment of granting to the day they die or retire. Its neither uncommon for a merchant to gain the title, lose it and regain it later as their influence raises again, or that of other's reduces.

The following list contains current Merchant princes in order of years of holding the title (shown as number after the name) from one to hold it longest to the newest supplement. The order does not relate to the magnitude of each Prince's wealth in any way.
