Faction Ranks
|
| • Favored: Rank 1. You are a favored member of the House. If you are a scion of the House, you have pleased the patriarch sufficiently to gain his notice. If you are an agent or retainer of the House, your efforts to aid the House have gone well-noted. • Lynchpin: Rank 3. You are given a position of some responsibility in the House's operations. If you are a Husteem, the patriarch considers you one of the favored scions of the House, and consults with you on matters of House importance. If you are an agent or retainer, your contributions and skills in service of the House have won you a position of no small regard and respect in the patriarch's eyes - although that may earn you the jealousy of his blood kin who are less favored than you. |

History
|
| Ethnicity: Chondathan Founded: 1251 DR Previous Eras: 1354 DR |
A house of singular devotion to the moon goddess, House Wavesilver's sailors and navigators tend to consider themselves adventurers first and foremost. The years have been kind to the Wavesilver name and fortunes, as that boldness has let them weather some of the horrors that have nearly destroyed other Houses.
Today, the Wavesilver merchant fleet is highly regarded, and the House quite prosperous.

Members of the Family
- Lord Albordrim Wavesilver: Patriarch (Rank 10) • 65 years. Called by Waterdhavians "the Lord of Silver," Lord Albordrim was a sea captain and fleet master for one of the Wavesilver fleets in his day. He is also a cleric of Selûne, and has spent much of his life in close alliance with the clergy of the Moon Maiden in Waterdeep. Recently, though, the loss of his dear daughter and heir Tennoen has cast him into grief, and he seems very focused on finding someone who can bring her remains to him, believing his beloved goddess will raise her from the dead.
- Sethress Wavesilver: Consort (Rank 8) • 58 years. The Lord of Silver's beloved, age has gifted Sethress with a head of long, silver-white hair, which she frequently wears in looping braids, with small silver chimes woven into them. One of the pillars of Waterdhavian society, Sethress has often negotiated her husband's eccentricities, but his latest obsession is beyond her control. He refuses to name a new heir, certain he will recover Thennoen, and for her part, her own grief leaves her little to fight him with.

- Resources Limit: If necessary, House Wavesilver could probably generate about 32,000 gp in liquid coin and valuables within a month.

Perks
Scions and agents of House Wavesilver in good standing might receive the following benefits:
- Living Quarters: Rank 1+. Those in good standing with the House are given quarters within the House's Waterdhavian villa appropriate to their role in the House.
- Living Expenses/Salaries: Rank 1+. Those in good standing with the House also receive a stipend of 1gp plus 5sp per day per point of Rank. This is not actual cash, but simply familial credit towards payment of Lifestyle costs. This stacks with the same kind of familial credit received from the Waterdhavian Noble Background (see Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide).
- Business Opportunities: Rank 3+. Lynchpins to the House's operations receive access to a variety of business opportunities within the House's money-making endeavors. This is handled as "Running a Business" in downtime months. This does not incur a business expense, but if too many of the character rolls results that end in a loss of money, he can and will find his Rank in the House reduced.
- Heir or Consort (Title): Rank 3+. The holder of one of the legal titles Heir of House and Consort of House, as recorded with the city of Waterdeep, is entitled to an additional 2gp per day in familial credit, per the "Living Expenses/Salaries" entry above. The heir is also accorded certain privileges within the legal system of Waterdeep, including the ability to speak on behalf of his House in some legal proceedings and the like.
- Wealth of the House: Rank 10. The patriarch of the House is in total control of the House's finances and various holdings, established by the laws of Waterdeep.
