Lady Imara Duskveil is the influential head of Middleton’s branch of Thorne’s Merchant Guild. She specializes in luxury goods, rare imports, magical items, adventuring supplies of unusual provenance, and expensive favors disguised as business opportunities.

With raven-black hair, piercing blue eyes, and impeccable taste, Imara is one of Middleton’s most powerful economic figures. Nobles, adventurers, caravan masters, and foreign traders all pass through her office eventually.

Imara is poised, elegant, and formidable. She rarely raises her voice because she rarely needs to. Her true weapons are contracts, exclusivity agreements, debt, and the ability to know what someone wants before they admit it.

“Everything has a price. The interesting question is whether you know what you are actually buying.”
