Thuvia
Source: Advanced Class Origins, p. 15
Thuvia’s prominence in the Inner Sea region is heavily based on the annual auctions for the sun orchid elixir. Because of the auction’s policy of forcing even losing bidders to forfeit their bids, every year eager potential participants hire a slew of investigators to suss out the competition. Since knowing the right time to enter the bidding wars is so valuable, these investigators command a high price. Many also offer their services to protect against competitors’ cloak-and-dagger tactics aimed at knocking their clients out of the auction.
