The Phanariote Network
Within the narrow streets of the Phanar district, a new class of Greek merchant diplomats has risen to prominence. Putting their literacy and linguistic skills to work, these families have made themselves indispensable to the administrative machinery of the Mediterranean powers. They serve as dragomans, governors, and financiers, creating a shadow empire of influence that spans from the Danube to the Nile. Their secret correspondence provides our state with unparalleled intelligence and diplomatic leverage.
