Overseas Merchant Guild
The Merchant Guild of Vatenrelm, the Overseas Merchant Guild is known across the land for its naval power and shady buisness practices.
Public Agenda
Publicly, the OMG has been established to promote free trade, open markets, and spread wealth throughout the realm. However, the increasingly harsh business' practices quite plainly show that the goal of the OMG is simply to increase the coffers of its rich owners, regardless of the damage they may cause to small islands or family-run shops in the process.
Assets
The OMG has the offical backing of the Kingdom of the Waves, and thus has ample ships, resources, and manpower.
History
The OMG has its roots in the foundation of the Kingdom of the Waves. After the Titan Rebellion, the newly formed Kingdom was struggling to remain stable and distribute the resources of its island states, mostly due to the many islands all trading in different currency. A group of pengu from Mörglænd quickly realized the potential business opportunity, and banded together to form the OMG using their personal finances. Immediately gaining the backing of the Kingdom by offering them incredible trade deals, the OMG swiftly took over the coin-minting business', and soon non-minted Mele became useless currency. This granted the OMG incredible access and control over all the trade in the realm.
