Spice lord

A spice lord was an individual of authority in spice trade. At one point, it was rumored that a spice lord resided in ruins on the Moddell sector planet Sarafur. In a more specific meaning of the term, the spice lords of Sevarcos II were the most revered and powerful of the clan lords of the Sevari people, and were delegated vast stretches of land by their people. They were devoted to trading spice and making interstellar profit from it in the names of the clans they represented. The market price on spice was ultimately set by the spice lords who also regulated the production, negotiated trade agreements, and selected regions for spice mining and extraction.
