Sashenstar

The Sashenstars were a noble family of Baldur's Gate that had a long association with the city's Merchant's League. They owed their considerable wealth to their interests in commercial shipping, mining operations, and the textiles industry.

History
During the Iron crisis of the mid–14 century DR, the the Merchant's League was wholly unable to restrain the greed and political machinations of the Iron Throne and even allowed their Baldurian estate, overseen by Aldeth Sashenstar, to be infiltrated by a group of Throne-controlled doppelgangers. As a result, the city's Council of Four banned the Merchant's League from operating in Baldur's Gate entirely. While the Sashenstar family renounced the organization in public, they maintained a working relationship with the league in secret.
