Name: Lord Cedric Galahad
Race: Half-Elf
Age: 90

Lord Cedric Galahad serves as the current Master of Coin, the crown’s chief steward of the kingdom’s treasury and financial stability. A senior member of House Galahad, the powerful mercantile house that governs the trade city of Hearth, Cedric was raised within a world defined by ledgers, trade contracts, and negotiations that stretched across the thirteen routes of Llithe. While many nobles pursued military command or political influence, Cedric displayed an early aptitude for mathematics, commerce, and the complex economics that sustained the realm’s markets. As a young man he traveled extensively with Galahad caravans, studying how coin moved between ports, markets, and noble estates. These journeys taught him that wealth was not simply measured in gold, but in the systems that allowed trade to flow without disruption.

Over the years Cedric built a reputation within the Galahad Trading Guild as one of the most meticulous financial strategists in Llithe. He reorganized taxation records tied to caravan tariffs, negotiated standardized trade duties across multiple regions, and introduced new methods for tracking currency circulation between cities and ports. His work helped stabilize the kingdom’s treasury during several years of fluctuating trade when external markets and Mana influenced technologies disrupted traditional commerce. Cedric believed that a stable currency required more than strong coffers. It required transparency, reliable accounting, and constant awareness of how wealth moved through the kingdom’s infrastructure.

When the crown sought a new Master of Coin, Cedric Galahad was appointed to the royal court in Reach. In this role he oversees taxation, treasury reserves, royal expenditures, and the delicate financial agreements that sustain the kingdom’s trade economy. Cedric works closely with both the Galahad Trading Guild and Organization XIII to monitor disruptions that could threaten Llithe’s financial balance. Though he carries the calm demeanor of a merchant rather than a court politician, those who work with him quickly learn that Cedric views the kingdom’s economy as a living system that must remain carefully balanced. In his mind, armies may defend the realm and rulers may guide it, but it is the steady circulation of coin that keeps Llithe standing.
