Master Trader Hurdll Crost and his 11 overseers and officers live in this complex. At least half of their time is spent indoors in an attempt to escape the choking dust of the nearby sea. As is typical with House Shom, each man's room is lavishly decorated and far larger than necessary. A short walkway extends out over the marketplace. Crost and his overseers frequently view the merchants below from here. There is always at least one guard posted here to watch for trouble or fighting in the marketplace.
