The Aureate Mercantile Guild

The Aureate Mercantile Guild is a collective of trade guilds headed by a merchant family of bronze dragons. Its culture upholds craftsmanship above all else, and it maintains a set of maritime trade routes with every other country in the world, although its largest trade partner is The Holy Order of Harthenheim. It controls the entirety of the continent of Amah, as well as a swath of coastal territory in Euchos, and almost all settlements the government bothers investing in are coastal or riverside. 
"The Guild" actually refers to several dozen guilds of various trades, each headed by members of the ruling bronze dragon family. Their 'adolescents' (young by draconic standards but usually older than most humanoid races) typically serve aboard naval vessels, either commercial or military, before earning their homestead in the coastal cities. They oversee business operations and maintain the standards of craftsmanship which the guild has become renowned for.
The decks and docks never have a shortage of work, and the tides dominate life in the coastal settlements of the guild's territory. As such the populus' culture is defined by water based myth and oceanic lore. People's worth is weighed on what you can produce, or what you can sail, with the exception of the sailor profession, which is considered the lifeblood of the guild and held in high esteem.
