Free Traders' League
The Scape's merchant network — neutral by policy, present everywhere, and aware that economic access is its own kind of leverage.
Commerce, Neutrality, Access
Tier 2 Political/Guild Power — a neutral economic faction whose independence is itself a position
Merchants, traders, and independent operators who work across faction lines precisely because the League's value depends on not being owned by any of them
The League does not align with armies or scrolls or divine allegiances. It aligns with exchange. Where goods and information move, the League is present. Where the League is present, things move.
Professionally neutral, practically indispensable. The Free Traders' League has survived long enough to understand that the most durable position in a world of competing powers is the one that all of them need.
Gatebound arrive with unusual resource profiles and unusual needs. The League finds both interesting and does not editorialize about either.
