Originally founded to create trade caravans and subsequently protect them from bandits and raiders, the Merchants Guild has grown into a mufti headed hub of trade throughout the land. It has many offshoots and is now more an administrative body to the other tradesmen's guilds than one itself. Its crest is a set of Scales weighing gold and grain. It has, over time, accrued several contracts to mint currency and set exchange rates for each kingdom; giving it immense weight in political circles. It is not uncommon for the Merchants Guild to call upon sellswords to protect the Guilds' interests.
