Welcome to the guild. You will find food and refreshments lacking in taste while mandatory items in adventuring are overpriced, but there is no better place to travel leisurely or dangerously in the current world.
Honestly, I would be happy as long as The Stranger's Dream don't have the Windbag who keeps doing Pickaxe Whirlwind! xDD
These guys were horrible to deal with~

Like with everything here are different conflicting way the World of Tonia works.
I have usually not enforce any of my ideas by trying to canonise them , because I think This is and MMO if an idea is interesting people would just latch on, and I can continue to lazily not worry about the Library myself, coz I am lazy busy
That being said, this is how I'd like the guild to work but NOT necessary IS how it works.
There are various major guilds in Tonia, and while all players refer to them as the something all united and powerful, guild by their nature is secretive and are actually full of factions, on the surface they appear to be a superpower and refer to themselves as such, in reality whoever you talk to may be as powerful as some one that control the whole western region, or some pleb that only look after the third street in the slum district of a back water town.
IN the specifics of the META-organisation known as the Merchant's guild, I envision an organisation that live and die by money, live by numbers and spread sheets, to incur its wrath is to make a number less pretty for some one in a back room somewhere.
And the nature of this guild is one of indirect intervention, in my head canon, all grand gulds can do ANYTHING, but the merchant guild is more. sinister. If an adventurers' guild want major change it makes quests with S-class heroes, if assassins guild 's want the same they murder a bunch of folks, and stealing with theives guild, but the merchants' for me are more insidious.
For example if one wanted to end a country, the assassins might start killing the royal line till they are all dead, the who ever ascends the throne kill them too, that's what assassins do. But merchants, the will not do that, the will not even murder anyone, or might not event bribe any one.
My ideal of the merchant guild in this case is that they lower the prices of wheat, of some village two countries away, and over the course of a few years lead to a rebellion that turn a country from a Monarchy to a republic...
The MO is all the cogs/ agent and merchants themselves are investing, they are doing things where the end goals are really far away.
To summarise, some time ago Luna joined the Merchants guild and became an informat/ associated, in a recent Freestyle, Luna became an agent and have a mission to cripple the Golden Rose criminal organization.
the Rose are buying up tin, making it harder for gelderholm to produce bronze for whatever reason.
The Merchant guild wanted this resolve coz they like Gelderholm for some reason. So luna is to infiltrate a powerful criminal "banker"/fence's villa during a ball to look at a ledger to find out who does business with the Golden Rose.
after-which the Mer. Guild will make it so Roses can no longer trade or acquire goods in any form without being heavily exploited by the Merchants.
Or better yet -- is it worth it for the guild to redirect adventurers in Gelderholm to Fuyu Machi? Since @Bochi has been there recently, would you support the guild pulling adventurers from Gelderholm to send them to Fuyu Machi? If yes, why?
Are those talismans and mana ores worth the lives of dwarvs?
From a bussiness standpoint, wouldn't this actually be a perfect bussiness chance involving all three? Gelderholm needs logistics/resources, which the machi has, and the guild can benefit by being the intermediary for the two
Sounds nice. Are they willing to trade it? What would they want from us? Fuyu Machi seems to be quite a wealthy country. Are they willing to trade it for anything that we have?
Finally pushing this up. Please like thispost if you approve of these prices. Frown or something else to veto!
