Sennong: The most ambitious, some would say most insolent, of the lesser Lintha septs, the Sennong keep their secrets well and have covertly amassed a great deal of wealth. They have managed to gain control of several An- Teng trading interests, fleecing the princes and then sending armed fleets to reclaim the goods from the buyer. While they realize that this approach will not be effective in the long run, the technique has made them immensely wealthy in a very short time, and the temptation to continue things as they are is difficult to resist. Their new wealth has allowed them the freedom to expand their interests and invest heavily in more lucrative concerns that, once underway, will allow their sept to increase its standing in Lintha society and perhaps vie for Greatsept standing. Because much of their wealth has been gained secretly, the Sennong have not been able to flaunt their affluence and, thus, increase their status among the other septs.
