Challenging the Directorate and Sovereign's monopolistic grasp on resources, the Merchant Princes have earned their wealth and influence by trading with, and meddling in the affairs of the mortal races. Exploiting their wealth, influence and even their vast fleets of airships, these ruthless individuals are not to be underestimated despite their lack of physical prowess or Biomantic skill. Their presence on a battlefield means things have come to a head, they are collecting debt or exerting leverage with the same ruthlessness that has allowed them to challenge the status quo which has existed for millenia. HOW THEY PLAY: The Merchant Prince utilizes guile and intrigue to manipulate the battlefield, commanding their forces and deceiving the enemy. When cunning intellect is not enough, the Merchant Price may make use of everything in the Spires' disposal to ensure absolute devastation of the enemy.
