Gajui: The current ruling Greatsept, as the Lei Kiangi is of the Gajui Greatsept, the Gajui possess one quarter of the Lintha wealth and maintain 24 pirate fleets and seven slave fleets, in addition to sponsoring several independent ongoing piratical operations throughout the West on sea and on land. They them- selves have a minor interest in swordplay, with a few of their ranks holding honorable places in the Sword Broth- erhood, the preeminent martial union in Lintha society. Most Gajui remain in Bluehaven and attend to their family’s economic interests through agents (mostly those of lesser septs under their employ). Paradoxically, they are the most cosmopolitan of all the houses, as they keep hidden pleasure palaces in distant lands and are willing to do business with anyone with enough gold. The Gajui have the most eccentric personal habits of any of the septs, being famous for sexual adventures of unheard of proportions and feasts of staggering indulgence. They also tend to be one of the most tolerant of the septs, and do not reject anyone as a friend or business partner based solely on his sept or politics, which probably, at least in part, accounts for their great wealth. Wari Fan is the current elder grandmother of the Gajui Greatsept and the Lei Kiangi. She has a reputation as a wise and shrewd thinker, as well as being a renowned poet and painter, and she takes frequent vacations to places west of Bluehaven, always returning with curious baubles.
