====== Merchants Guild ======

The Merchants Guild is a pivotal organization at the core of trade and commerce within the Arcanex galaxy. Established in the year 2207, the Guild was initially an initiative to develop trade routes between the different species of the galaxy. Tasked with not only charting safe trade routes but also establishing secure trade "highways," the Guild plays a crucial role in defending these routes from threats such as outlaws and pirates. It was the Merchants Guild that transformed inter-realm, faction, and species trade into a safe and reliable endeavor.

The Guild's influence extends beyond trade routes. It is responsible for the standardization of the [[world_content_info:currency_economy|Unified Gold Coin (UGC)]], acting as the primary authority on trade across the galaxy and serving as the central bankers and custodians of the UGC. As the heart of all commerce, the Merchants Guild ensures economic stability and growth within the galaxy.

Operating from the [[locations:aurum_prime_star_system|Aurum Prime star system]], the Merchants Guild's headquarters is located on the [[locations:realm_of_luxara|Realm of Luxara]]. From here, they oversee all trade activities, ensuring that commerce flows smoothly and efficiently across the Arcanex galaxy. The Guild's presence and influence are felt in every corner of the galaxy, making it an indispensable force in maintaining the economic vitality and interconnectedness of the various realms and factions.
