The Pureborn, also known as the Enthroned, are descendants of the Qarth's ancient kings and queens, who rule the city from the Hall of a Thousand Thrones. The Pureborn also command the city's defenses: the Civic Guard, which includes camelry, and a great military fleet. There are three principal merchant groups that battle amongst themselves and against the Pureborn for dominance of the city. They are known as the Thirteen, the Ancient Guild of Spicers, and the Tourmaline Brotherhood. They are notorious for offering poisoned wine to those they consider dangerous.[1]

There is a saying among the merchants of Qarth that states:

"It is easier to milk the Stone Cow of Faros than to wring gold from the Pureborn." [2]
