Seafarer's Guild

"Why aren't you getting things loaded?"
"Guildmaster said we don't move until the tariffs are settled." 
"When will that be?"
"When the city gives her the rate she wants."

The Seafarer's Guild is the organization created to protect the interests of merchants using sea routes in order to trade across Talthei. An offset of the general merchants guild, you'll typically find the Seafarer's guild arguing to try and manage dock fees and set up contract with mercenary ships.
By their nature, guild halls are generally located in the major coastal cities, and almost always within a few minutes walk of a Conductor's office or the docks.

Structure

While there are multiple guild halls, the Seafarer's guild has less an idea of individual city chapters, and more of the idea of a horizontally spread singular guild organization.

Culture

The guild is very results-oriented and is unafraid to try and strongarm a better rate for themselves in the process. While a little more frank than their parent guild, the general focus of noticing minute details and sacking them away for later use is still very widespread.

Public Agenda

The Seafarer's guild's goal is always to protect and control trade that occurs across wide regions of Talthei requiring the use of ships. As such, they seek to equalize and manage tariffs and tariff ownership to reduce the financial burden on merchants seeking to sell goods. As well, they often work with the general merchant's guild

Assets

The Seafarer's Guild is considered one of the richer guilds, even counting in the higher cost for them to operate. The guild itself has several ships that it owns outright, as well as stakes in most other major trading organizations that utilize ships. 
As well, there is a great deal of liquid assets, used for negotiations and building more guild assets, such as guild halls or training of new members.
