History
Before the, yuan-ti followers of Sseth were tasked with infiltrating mercantile organizations of the Sword Coast in order to fill the void in trade left by the Shadow War, and spread the snake god's influence and become the shadow rulers of the region. Sa'Sani helmed the Mercantile House, the most successful trading company in Samarach, diligently spreading the influence of her house into the Sword Coast through her associates in the Crossroad Keep.

In 1374 DR, House Se'Sehen betrayed Sseth and House Sauringar by pledging their allegiance to the interloper deity Zehir. The yuan-ti of House Se'Sehen started attacking the Sauringar, slaughtering many and taking control of the Temple of World Serpent. And unbeknownst to Sa'Sani, her loyal business associates started sabotaging the Mercantile House. A group of adventurers, along with Sa'Sani's business associate, famed Volothamp Geddarm, sailed from the Sword Coast to Samarach aboard the Vigilant. Luaire Farwander, a merchant under the employ of Sa'Sani, secretly a yuan-ti pureblood of Zehir, was onboard the ship and successfully caused its wreck through sabotage. Suspicious of the ship's destruction, Sa'Sani hired the adventurers for their own protection from the xenophobic Samarachans and to pursue her won goals. She sent the heroes to investigate the shipwreck under the false pretense of insurance investigation. Eventually, the investigation lead to Luaire's exposure and death.

When the news of Luaire Farwander being a dreaded yuan-ti reached the Elite Guard of Samargol, Sa'Sani claimed that even association with the scaled menace was dangerous for her business. Captain Dajos promptly informed Sa'Sani that due to her association with the snake-folk she was to leave Samargol by the following day's sunset and do not return while the yuan-ti menace was investigated. Her authority was withdrawn by the the Council and the Mercantile House's control – given to Osi Tchaluka. Sa'Sani used her contacts with the gnomes who ran the Lantan-Samarach portal to flee to the Crossroad Keep on the Sword Coast, away from Samargol's laws. There, with the help of the adventurers, Sa'Sani continued growing her mercantile empire and continued investigation into strange disappearances of her allies and numerous sabotages of trade along the Sword Coast.

Subsequently, Sa'Sani manipulated them into attacking and destroying House Se'Sehen.
