The Grand Merchant Collective was refounded from Hashani Merchants of the Crown, which was founded previously from the Magi-classed Guild of the Sorcerers. Today, The Grand Merchant Collective aims to unite the merchants of Achaea under one banner from the town Delos. 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.
