Mercers' Guild

Description

The Mercers' Guild oversees the trade of luxury goods, including silks, spices, dyes, and refined imports like salt. Often the wealthiest guild in a city, it commands great political influence to the detriment of local nobility. This Guild gains an additional powerful ability when at least 4 population units are assigned to Commerce. -- The Worshipful Company of Mercers (London) and the Arte della Seta (Florence) are historical examples of such guilds.
