persianpenname1st character idea: Daughter of the ivory merchant
For some reason, the ivory merchant is amassing huge stockpiles of ivory, probably from several sources. I'm picturing someone who has a network of contacts, hunters and fishers in the north for mammoth and walrus ivory, poachers in the south for elephant ivory, and for dragon ivory he sets out on Expeditions his own self whenever he hears of a dragon he can reasonably expect to get to.
The ivory merchant isn't noble, but is solidly Upper Middle Class, and one of those folks that hobnobs with nobles at the low-to-middle-fanciest parties, and he wants to move up in the world. After all, the first king of this line is said to have become so by hunting the Big Dangerous Dragons (that sadly were all wiped out) back in the day, so a minor earldom for just a shit-ton of Draconis Minoris skulls isn't necessarily out of the question.
