The Merchant's Convocation

Members are referred to as “Economists”.

This guild is commerce. And the guild does cover that as a whole, supervising commerce to a degree, especially land and sea shipping. The people of this guild are salesmen, private security, treasure hunters, artisans looking to ply their trade, and anyone else that is looking to make some money.

In the interest of trade, this guild is also responsible for the maintenance of trade routes (shipping lanes, major roadways throughout the empire) and employs a number of rangers for that purpose.
