History

Artisans & Crafters Incorporated has been a staple in Verdraxis since it's establishment in 847 A.D. In it's inception, it was a form of union of various trader's, crafters and smithies wishing to protect one another from being taken advantage of by not so savory customers. Since those days, it has grown into a large conglomerate with a hub in every major city and smaller establishments in smaller hamlets scattered throughout the land. Artisans & Crafters Incorporated has helped supply most start up towns and has made a name for itself by trading indiscriminately. The views of this Guild of Traders stem from a Capitalistic stand point, as long as they stand to make money, they will barter with most anyone. There have only been a handful of situations throughout history in which the Guild has declined monetary compensation, favor, or bartering to deny aid to any one person, but only because aiding them would have caused the Guild undue harm. The ACI is governed by 7 Permanent Masters who rule over the guild leaving no defacto leader and a counsel to deliberate everything from it's affairs, patents, new inventions and day-to-day operations. The 7 people are chosen every other year to serve a two yea term and are chosen from the pool of current Guildmasters.

Diplomacy is a disguised war , in which beings seek to gain by barter and intrigue, by the cleverness of arts , the objectives which they would have to gain more clumsily by means of war.
