<p>The members of the Wayfarer's Union are what one could consider the typical merchant, artisan, craftspeople, and business-owners, that one can find all across Marcandria. They can come from any facet of Marcandrian society. Anyone are welcome to join the Union so long as they pay their fees and adhere to the Union's rules and regulations.</p> <p>The members of the Wayfarer's Union are what one could consider the typical merchant, artisan, craftspeople, and business-owners, that one can find all across Marcandria.

<p>The workers who are employed at the Union Offices — and the Union's other facilities (such as its warehouses) — also come from the regular populace in Marcandria. This include people from both the middle- and lower-class in Marcandria, depending on what type of position they have within the Union. They typically live in small tenement apartments. The roles of these employed workers are varied, each playing a role in making the Union function and capable of providing benefits and services that would entice people to become members. These roles include human resources personnel , bookkeepers, accountants, auditors, treasurers, quality control inspectors, compliance inspectors, trade negotiators, market analysts, receptionists, secretaries, liaisons, cleaners, laborers, porters, warehouse workers, inventory clerks, and administrative assistants.</p> <p>The workers who are employed at the Union Offices — and the Union's other facilities (such as its warehouses) — also come from the regular populace in Marcandria.

<p>Lastly are the Union's delegates, who lead the Union. While originally an assembly of hundreds of elected representatives from the different locations the Union operated in, this system has since consolidated down to having only three members. These three in practice now co-own the Union as if it was their own enterprise. They and their families are among the wealthiest non-nobles in Marcandria, and enjoy a wealthy lifestyle akin to that of nobility. Their vast influence makes it so their family members are able to mingle and stay in close contact with the Marcandrian nobility.</p> <p>Lastly are the Union's delegates, who lead the Union.

<h3>Visual identifiers&nbsp;</h3> <h3>Visual identifiers&nbsp;</h3>
<p>Most members and workers/employees look like typical lower- and middle-class Marcandrian citizens, though many use their fine attire as work attire in order to look more proper and professional when dealing with suppliers and customers. Workers who do non-physical tasks, such as receptionists, liaisons, bookkeepers, and so on, are typically required to wear finer looking attires while working — again to portray a more proper and professional look. Workers/employees will typically wear a pin with the Wayfarer's Union's sigil — a practice which is also common among the merchants, artisans, and craftsmen who are members of the Union.</p> <p>Most members and workers/employees look like typical lower- and middle-class Marcandrian citizens, though many use their fine attire as work attire in order to look more proper and professional when dealing with suppliers and customers.

<p>The delegates and their families wear attires typical of the wealthy upper-class, being made of the finest material, filled with embroidery and embellishments, and typically includes multiple pieces of jewelry. The level of luxury in their clothing is very much on par with that of the nobility.</p> <p>The delegates and their families wear attires typical of the wealthy upper-class, being made of the finest material, filled with embroidery and embellishments, and typically includes multiple pieces of jewelry.

<p>The Wayfarer's Union members do not share a common set of religious beliefs. Though, as an organization primarily located in Marcandria with primarily citizens of Marcandria in its member base, most tend to pay homage to the Marcandrian worship of the <a href="/HBW/Eirus/Marcandria/Religion">Diostri</a>.</p>

<p>FULCRUM TEXT, FOR REFERENCE:</p>
<p>The Fulcrum's members do not share a set of religious beliefs that bind them together. The organization's primary concern is not the origins or beliefs of its members but rather whether those beliefs pose challenges to the organization's operations. While members of Marcandrian nationality tend to have a close affinity with the Marcandrian Diostri, especially the goddess <a href="https://wiki.strixhab.net/HBW/Eirus/Marcandria/Religion">Meranzi</a>, who embodies commerce, trade, and exceptionalism, religious beliefs are not a central focus. The Fulcrum generally adheres to meritocratic principles, holding individuals who have achieved success and demonstrated exceptional skill in high regard, often recognizing them as peers.</p>
<p>The Fulcrum's core purpose revolves around enhancing the wealth and influence of its members. Individual members may have additional personal goals beyond amassing wealth and market influence, with the aforementioned often being the means to their other goals, though the Fulcrum itself does not concern itself with what these additional goals are so long as they do not pose a threat to the Fulcrum's endeavors. Many members subscribe to the Marcandrian concept of striving for the pinnacle of society, with most members of the Fulcrum viewing economic power as the most effective means of achieving this goal. Economic power is considered the most versatile form of power by Fulcrum members, often surpassing other forms in its ability to enact their will.</p>
<p>One of the fundamental tenets of the Fulcrum's belief system is that securing an undisputed market dominance or even a complete monopoly is the most effective way to safeguard their positions within the market. This conviction leads them to make strategic decisions, even at the cost of operating their businesses at a deficit for a period, to bankrupt competitors and establish market supremacy</p>
<p>Image holds immense importance for the Fulcrum. They aim for respect from others and often desire that their competitors view them with a degree of fear. They also value their public image, though not in a universal sense. The Fulcrum strives to maintain positive relationships with business partners and seeks to sustain at least a satisfactory rapport with customers, ensuring they do not shy away from their products. As for those businesses that fall victim to the Fulcrum's aggressive pursuit of market dominance, they are often perceived as failures by Marcandrian society. This societal perspective is fortunate for the Fulcrum, as it results in minimal public backlash against their practices, provided they remain discreet and that their actions do not negatively affect the general customer base.</p>
