The Gull Syndicate
The Gull Syndicate is a merchant organization that has all but monopolized trade to and from the old world. Their main priority is to exploit the resources and people of the new world for profit, only offering a token acknowledgment of morality to appease the more sensitive members of society. Their great fleet of merchant ships, the Gull Armada, initially ferried supplies to and from the old world, but now that Havenport has become mostly self sufficient, they have transitioned into focusing more on exploiting the new world.
Structure
The top of the Gull Syndicate is lead by the Gulls, the leaders of 6 merchant families that founded the original organization, who make large scale decisions for the corporation. Below them are the Albatrosses, the captains of the individual ships in the Gull Armada. The legal team is the Crows, led by the smartest Kenku alivetm. The most prolific Albatrosses, as well as the Gulls, have personal birds that their sailors are known as.
Gull Heinrich Larum, the Eagle, is the only Gull residing in Havenport currently. He is leading the transition from supplying Havenport to taking advantage of profit opportunities in the new world.
History
The Gull Syndicate was a medium merchant organization that managed to secure the contract to supply the exploration of the new world. Between the new contract, and the subsequent near sole mercantile access to the rest of the new world, The Gull Syndicate grew into the largest merchant empire the world has ever seen.
