Acquitor

An Acquitor was a sanctioned position in the Kingdom of Lether for someone who worked as guide/factor when dealing with non-Letherii people.Midnight Tides, Glossary The number of Acquitors in a region was strictly limited by treaty, and no merchant could enter non-Letherii lands without one. Only seven served the entirety of the Tiste Edur lands, for example. Merchants bid heavily on their services often contracting their exclusive service for a period of years.Midnight Tides, Chapter 2, US SFBC p.59
Acquitors were required to remain neutral and not to speak their own minds nor interfere with the aims of others.Midnight Tides, Chapter 11, US SFBC p.351Midnight Tides, Chapter 5, US SFBC p.168-169 They did not take part in any negotiations that might occur between their employer and their non-Letherii contacts.Midnight Tides, Chapter 7, US SFBC p.168-239-240 They were expected to know every trail, old barrow ground, and holy site in their territory.Midnight Tides, Chapter 19, US SFBC p.581 They were skilled at reading tracks.Midnight Tides, Chapter 19, US SFBC p.578
