Tempest Trading Company

The Tempest Trading Company is the merchant company that splits business throughout Elloría. They run cargo through both land and sea.

Structure

The overall structure of the organization looks like the following:

• Grand Commodore (or Chief Commodore): The ultimate authority, overseeing all major decisions, naval fleets, and trade negotiations. They ensure the company's dominance on the seas and in ports.
• Harbormasters: Responsible for overseeing operations at major ports, negotiating docking fees, organizing trade schedules, and ensuring smooth shipments.
• Sailmasters: With deep knowledge of weather patterns, trade winds, and the seas these skilled navigators and experienced sailors manage the fleets and trade ships. They may double as recruiters for new crews.
• Envoys & Negotiators: Diplomats and businesspeople responsible for forging alliances with other merchants, governments, or noble houses. They specialize in high-stakes deals.
• Trade Agents: These mid-level employees work directly with clients, securing deals, and ensuring the successful execution of contracts.
• Quartermasters: Manage the supplies, finances, and crew contracts. They ensure the company's assets are well-maintained and profitable.
• Captains & Sailors: The backbone of the company, handling everyday trade, shipments, and sailing routes. 
  
  

The two most notable positions within any merchant company running around Elloría are the Head Merchant and their Captains. The Head Merchant is in charge of all the contract work that get presented to the company. From there, they deal out the information and contracts to their Captains. The Captains are the heads of the vessels transporting the cargo, they deal with keeping the ship running on time to ensure deadlines and quotas are met.

Culture

Tempest Trading tends to shift around their crews more frequently than other companies. They follow some intense form of analytics to analyze the best crew setup for whatever specific job is scheduled. This obviously tends to create a multitude of crews, thus resulting in constant change for shiphands and Captains alike.

Public Agenda

Much like their rival company, Pinnacle Mercantile, Pinnacle is non-discriminate when it comes to business partners. The more goods flowing, the richer the world gets.

History

The company has been around for some time, but has truly picked up tracking following the conclusion of the Centurion Wars.
