Elemental Plane of Water

The only family of merfolk that has gained any respectability is that of the chief, now called House Elsinore. Chief Malefon is head of the house and on ofthe few who lives in the city. He leases the basement of a fortified manor from a lesser marid noble. While the manor serves as a library for both the shah and the courthouse, Chief Malefon has filled the basement with water. Located on the outskirts of Alcazar, this residence is staffed with genies in the service of the marid landlord. Malefon infrequently allows the rest of his family to visit him, but these calls are short and scheduled so as not to interfere with business. Rumor has it that the chief hasn't even been outside the dome in five years. Chief Malefon makes most of his money by trading fresh seafood harvested by his people. He also collects 15 percent of the fees garnered from dome cleaning and waste disposal. He invests much of his takings in fine works of art, which he protects jealously.
