Grey Trading Cartel (SSN 2415) DEMESNE
Description: Rather a pleasant place, the backroom of a worthy Inn or the house of one Merchant or another place of meeting not always pen to just anybody, Grey Trading is run along the sociable lies of more Baronial Merchant Adventurers. A friendly society where everyone is welcome (as long as your names on the door) and where snippets, gossip and little deals are done with a handshake alone. No scribes are invited, nothing written down, it’s all done on trust and threat of extreme sanctions from everyone else present.
Effect: At this level Grey Trading is little more than a lose society where wine is drunk and stories (tips) exchanged. If that information happens to help business, then of course that is a pleasant but entirely surprising benefit…
A character with a Trader or Merchant Demesne may establish a regular meeting place where his influence is felt. He pays for it, as he is the host.
The profits he makes from buying and selling Bundles in that city are increased by 1% for each level of his Merchant or Trader Tag (just the one, mind). If a character has this structure in his own Demesne, then he gains the benefit also in cities where others have built it if he knows where the meetings are held (ie. the local character just adds a nod to the top of his orders).
Prerequisites: Merchant or Trader Demesne at Level 1
Empire and Baronies only – it is built in the nearest city, even if the actual Demesne is more rural.
