A elegantly written flyer is hung around Felsen. It reads: "I am in dire need of an enchanting table or at the very least, some obsidian. If you can provide such an item I will compensate you fairly. Please send a bird if you are interested." -Julius Weston ((Benben582))

A note is scribbled across onto a piece of parchment and posted across Oren. I am looking to hire a blacksmith. Not full-time just be able to place orders when I need them. Skill is not my priority reliability is. I will be making lots of tools and you will be paid. I am looking for some farmers, fishermen, and lumberjacks to supply my stocks. I have a farm for you to use and a warehouse as well. You will be paid according to how much you work. The more work, the more pay. You can find my stead in Erochland. I am also looking for chunks of rare obsidian rock. Signed, Julius Weston

(Username:) Benben582 Name: Julius Weston Age: 57 Branch of choice: (Marshal/Savant/Guildmaster/Undecided) Guildmaster Reason for joining: I am seeking a cause to benefit. The Brotherhood seems like something I can get behind. There is nothing I'd like to see more than it prosper. So I wish to help in anyway possible. Prior experience/relevant skills: I am a versed merchant. A minor enchanter. I've worked as a foreman for a labor force before so I know what it's like to manage money. Do you swear your life in service to the Brotherhood? (PK Clause upon appropriate RP) Yes.

Glad to see some business owners seeking some aid! (already spoke in game or I'd have you come in for an interview). Hope to do plenty of business in the near future.

Accepted! Come in for an interview anytime.

Thanks! Hope to bring fresh, fun RP for anyone involved with the guild. Hope to see you around!

OOC Purpose: Our goal is to revive trade RP in LoTC. Merchants will travel the roads, not allowed to use a soulstone on a company mission. We will be actively selling and buying wares all throughout Athera. We aim to promote financial roleplay with businesses, lending institutions, misc. We strive to bring you the immersion we all know and love. Location? We are located in Petrus. As you walk through the gates take the road on your left, it will bring you straight to us.

Duties differ. Loyalty? (part-time or full-time) Your loyalty to us determines if you are a full member of the guild or not. If you have full loyalty you qualify to be full member of the guild. If you are only part loyal you remain what I consider an ‘affiliate’ of the guild. You can live another life, but are apart of the guild and will go on missions with us, your duties are limited. Payment: All full fledged members will receive payments weekly. The amount is based on performance during the week, amount of duties carried out, and bonuses on site when a mission is carried out with success All part time members receive payment on site based on length, difficulty, and success of a mission. (Laborers are considered part time and are paid based on materials brought in/work done. Services we deliver: As a guild full of merchants we offer both goods and services. Our goods vary depending on our stock but we can assure you that we have almost anything that you desire. As for services there are many things we can do. We offer services for citizens, business owners, and settlements. Good(s) delivery, loans, debt collection, guild protection, tax collection, trade runs, and merchant events sums up a good portion of what we have to offer. How does this help you? Will not have to travel far, or at all for new goods. Access to our trade channels, sometimes finding buyers for your goods for you. Protection from harm. Borrow minas or supplies to start up a business. Services list: Merchant Duties: When signing as a full merchant to the company you are given duties that should be carried out in a timely fashion. They are a requirement to becoming a full fledged member of the Dalavician Merchant Company. You will be paid weekly based on performance of your duties and are expected to be present when needed.

This is excellent. We need more of the newer player's opinions. Thanks for the feedback, +1. As for the economy, I am starting a rather intricate merchant company soon. There will soon be many goods delivered everywhere so that shouldn't be a problem soon. Also lots of jobs available, however not to Uruks as much unless you are friendly with pinkiez.

"This piece of land is perfect to for housing workers. I am in dire need of a place to set up shop and bring on the load of workers I need for the new Dalavician Merchant Company in Petrus. I swear to you that this land will be put to good use." - Ben Avice

Ben Avice stumbles upon the note and writes a response and mails it off, "I, Ben Avice, would like to start a merchant's guild. Knowing that many have tried in the past to make such, I assure you I will be able to manage such an operation. I have much previous experience in trade. I'd like to help fuel the trade runs, hire merchants & salesmen, and also manage a location for laborers to be payed for their efforts." - Ben Avice
