The Grand Merchant Collective was founded from the previously Magi-classed Guild of the Sorcerers. Today, The Grand Merchant Collective aims to unite the merchants of Achaea under one banner. Weaving together the paths of Tome, Wanderer, Blade, and Sovereign, the House strives to retain balance in all walks of life. Each path offers training through which any member can seize and wield opportunities for success. The Merchants achieve strength by working together and respecting each other's differences at all times. Each member is therefore bound by a code of honour, one that emphasises loyalty, integrity, and dedication to unity through mutual respect.


Founding

Drazik Lokelinde (born 12 Lupar, 221 AF), originally a prominent Druid, left the forestal Guild to found the Sorcerers after becoming a citizen of Hashan. In the year 398AF, the Sorcerer's Guild officially became a house, restructuring as the Merchants of the Crown. In the year 633AF, the house struck out on their own, leaving Hashan and moving to Delos so that they could extend their reach in uniting merchants from all over the world under one banner.
