Trade and Merchant Guilds have always existed but in the shadow of the apocalypse wrought by the power of the sword, the power of gold has become a far greater influence in the affairs of state. The Head Merchants have now centralized, controlling all trade. Caravans, tariffs, mines and marketplaces operate by the grace of the Commercium alone. Independent traders in outposts and remote villages still exist, but trading in towns is not without its problems or dangers.
There are a few dozen guildmasters, but some have more weight than others.
Master Strabos runs the Maadoran branch - the central and most powerful branch. All other guildmasters report to him.
The head of the Teron branch is Linos.
The head of the Ganezzar branch is Athanasius.
