The Crowns

Gold and Glory

CobaltDM - September 20, 2022

The Crowns are a band of wealthy smugglers and unscrupulous traders that control many trade passages from the southern coast of The Isatisian Confederacy to The Nassa Archipelago and The Republic of Tekoril. They are led by a single Halfling known as Lord Antoni, surrounded by a council of five powerful merchants that make up the Gold Council. Their abundance of wealth causes them to have a surplus of mercenaries on hand, ready to defend against all threats.

Above All, Coin

Seeing the other factions as savage in nature, The Crowns understand that gold is what makes the world spin. From their rise to power nearly 15 years ago, the guild prioritized developing a friendly relationship with merchant ships passing near Nassa. They act as armed escorts, ready to defend against even the gravest threats with their slow but powerful brigantines. Word of their favorable terms and business-first mindset has spread across Mytkora, causing many traders to seek them out when attempting to travel through Nassa.

Living Near a Golden Sea

Life under the Crowns is rather pleasant according to most living near Umori, their primary city. Travelers of all kinds come and go, leading to a healthy dose of many cultures being present in the marketplace and the surrounding streets. Many small villages stocked with farmers or loggers can be found across the two main islands. While the coastal settlements are sometimes prime targets for raids from Silver Scoundrels or Baron's Blood, The Crowns do a good enough job of protecting their subjects to maintain the support of the public.
