Byzaris Merchant Guild Roles and Roster

The Byzaris Merchant Guild#

The guild traces its origins to the Murrian people who prior to the imperial conquest established the foundations for the port of Byzaris.

The trade routes created by the Murrian people allowed for foreign merchants to travel to the trade post and ply their wares, the lack of organised commerce and exchange rates effected the local craftsman, a few of the craftsmen who felt they were being taken advantage of by the traders decided to collectivize and thus what can be considered the early years of guild activity in byzaris began.

In recent years after the imperial conquest of the port ,foreign craftsman began to travel to the post, because of the strong culture of guilds in the west and east these new arrivals cultivated the necessary desire in the local artisans to gather and properly formalize a guild





Adopting the many titles, etiquette and traditions from there former homelands these new craftsmen put together what the Byzaris Merchants Guild is today
