Iron Trust

A merchant guild with powerful influence across most large cities. Making bargains with blacksmiths of some skill, entering into long term agreements for trade, this guild weeds its way into almost all civilized lands. Not known for their moral high ground, they often run schemes to stop competition from sprouting up where they find a foot hold.

Structure

Though headed by House Iron, many wealthy merchants have come to join the growing power of the Iron Trust.  While originally just merchants trading in prices of ores and blacksmiths materials, they have become known as business starters and lenders of financial aid.  Often the local member of the guild will just be referred to as 'Lender' or the 'Lend'.

Public Agenda

Control of the prices of ores primarily, secondarily the control of trade routes in general.
