One of my players is an ex-agent for a yet to be determined house. It's time to decide what house he worked for, so I've been looking through the few accessories that I have trying to compile a list of who they are/where they are based/etc.

I was hoping that one of you already has a list of the trading houses of Athas that can be PMd to me. Or maybe which accessories I should look at so I can download them.

Dune Trader is the book you must look into. It contains all the info you could want about the trading houses of the Tyr region.

It describes the major Merchant-House of each city-states, some minor trading houses plus some elven tribes and non-human traders. There is also a chapters on building a trader campaign.

Hope that will help you.

Great List Torack, did you creat more, like all Elf Tribes etc.?

I'm not sure but you could add the Merchant house of Amketch.

Anyway, thank you for the list, it's very useful for me .

Haven't gotten around to reading Elves of Athas yet, so it's incomplete as of yet.

Those I already did so here they are in the same format you used:

TSR 2423 Elves of Athas
Wind Dancers tribe: Raiders
· Airhunter
· Breezechaser
· Three extinct clans
Star Racers tribe
Sun Runners tribe
Sky Singers tribe: Trading, market in Nibenay
· Dayjumper: Traders
· Dawnchaser: Herders
· Twilightcatcher: Deals in contrabands
Silver Hands tribe: Traders, Silver Spring oasis
Night Runners tribe: Shadow arts (Intrigue/Espionage/Murder)
· Dark Moons: Assassins
· Full Moons: Combat
· Half Moons: Magic; Two half-moon (Symbol, Tattoo)
· Lone Moons: Trading and thievery
· New Moons: Espionage
· Quarter Moons: Raiders; Two quarter moons (Symbol, Tattoo)
Silt Stalkers tribe: Raiders
· Fire Bow: Scouting and wilderness skills
· Fire Dagger: Defiling, thievery and assassination (lost near Guistenal)
· Fire Sword: Warriors
Water Hunter tribe: Hunters, Gatherers, Utbo Grove
· Raindancer:
· Poolrunner:
· Lakesinger:

I also used an old lexicon of athasian elven words to create the names of the most known tribes, in elvish, for flavor :

Clearwater: Uutobol-Dai
Night Runner: Utkotuu-Dai
Silt Stalker: Jura-Dai (I can't remember where I read that these were the Jura-Dai)
Silver Hand: Uttramut-Dai
Sky Singer: Koguu-Dai
Swiftwing: Kuualko-Dai
Water Hunter: Bonuu-Dai
Wind Dancer: Dukkee-Dai
Shadow: Nomihe-Dai
