Transcontinental Merchants' Guild
The Transcontinental Merchants Guild began shortly after a group of marooned adventurers stumbled upon a site of ruin in what is now called "Summervale" Unable to make use of their newfound riches as they were, they set out with the sparse supplies they had remaining and sought to sell what they could carry along with information about the remaining treasure lost throughout the wasteland continent. After earning enough to survive and afford a return expedition, the band of now-seasoned merchants took over the development of Summervale as a blossoming port-town and led expeditions through the continent to find long lost artifacts and knowledge as well as to boost sales and exports to wealthy collectors and others with the means to purchase unique goods. Within three generations, the Transcontinental Merchants Guild had spread to have promintent figures and chapters in every continent. By the early 1600s, they earned and maintain the status of becoming one of Alterra's most influential guilds.
