Located
on Market Street near the Bank, this guild encompasses the trades and
businesses in Gahlen. Arguably the most powerful in the economic sense
of all other guilds, the Merchant Guild is a guild of both necessity and
controversy within the realm.
Merchants
are both vain and humble, powerful and weak, in the same step. They can
buy up armies or live in poverty at the turn of a gem or gold piece. While
the guild boasts of its own riches and strength of commerce, it also is
a victim of its own vanity in that the other Guilds are leery of such
power, and a safe merchant is a fair merchant.
The
Guild is not easy to join, since becoming a merchant is dependent on the
economical strength of the Kingdom. The Merchants have complete responsibility
of the food system in Gahlen and also run the ship yards.
