Earl Erhendott

Earl Erhendott is an unseen minor character whose involvement in a currency speculation incident indirectly caused the central conflict between Chloe and Lawrence, with Holo by association. A noble of Trenni whose jurisdiction includes Pasloe and vast wheat fields, the earl is well known in the region for his progressive policies and his eccentricities, which include working in the fields alongside his subjects. For these reasons, he appears to be a popular ruler.

In an attempt to further improve the economy of his county, Erhendott aided Medio Trading in an attempt to covertly manipulate the value of trenni silver and obtain concessions from the king of Trenni, especially the lifting of a heavy wheat tariff. Although rival company Milone Trading first obtained the concessions due to the actions of Holo and Lawrence, Medio Trading was able to acquire the coveted privileges through hasty backtracking and negotiation, bringing brighter economic prospects for both Erhendott and his subjects.
