The Merchants' Guild of Adria

[Jonificus 2711]

The Merchants' Guild of Adria

Established on the 11th of The Grand Harvest, the year 115 of the second age

 

The City of Velec has been declared a free city and bestowed upon the old Gradic rights, and with such in order we shall see the bourgeoisie flourish. The Merchants' Guild is there for you, the Adrians who put their life into the hands of the market. You have taken risks greater than most will ever come to truly appreciate, but we know the toils of our life. Together we will work towards maintaining healthy competition within the city, fostering good relations between ourselves, settling disputes, discuss further development of the city and many other important matters. Our united voices will advocate for a better standing for the merchant class, and ensure our members' needs are tended to.

To achieve all we desire, and to maintain what we've obtained, we must all consent to cooperate. To breach our internal agreements or to intentionally mislead the Guild is an offense that will see your membership at the hands of a tribunal. It is paramount that for an experiment like this that we all look to our mutual interests, and do not fall for short-term benefit at the cost of your fellow members. Our work will be hard and ceaseless, but the rewards will be worth every effort.

 

If membership is something you seek, come to Velec and speak with myself or our other established members. A letter will do you better, in most cases, so we can coordinate times to meet one another and discuss our shared, prosperous future together.

 

May we join in business soon, friends.

Written and signed,

Guildmaster Mithius Dalma
