Lysa Marr is the factor of House Marr, the Velkris merchant house that dominates the city’s trade in people, slaves and debt-workers below and bonded service above. In the DM’s world brief she is a tiefling woman known for warmth, charm and contracts no desperate person should sign, and one of the five factors of the Council of Factors in the Silent Hall. Her house’s saying is “Marr always offers a way out. The price is the trap.” She has not yet appeared in play, and the party has not visited Velkris.
Disambiguation. This is Lysa Marr, the tiefling factor of House Marr in Velkris. Not to be confused with Lysa, the eight-year-old girl met on a roadside orchard between Umbrafall and Eldwythe in session 12.
