The Fulcrum operates two grandiose meeting halls—one situated in Vessina and the other in Revanna. These establishments serve as meeting venues and joint headquarters for both the Fulcrum and numerous members. They host discussions, meetings, and serve as focal points for the social, economic, and political activities involving the Fulcrum. These opulent venues also play host to banquets, celebrations, and are the primary locations where the Board of Nine and the committees convene. They serve as central hubs for members to conduct their business, particularly for those engaged in trade within Vessina or Revanna but are not permanently based in these cities. These guild halls are renowned for their grandeur, symbolizing the vast wealth, power, and prestige of the Fulcrum.

 

Relations with other factions

+

The Fulcrum is widely recognized for its longstanding rivalry with the Wayfarer's Union, which was originally established as a counterbalance to the Fulcrum's ambitious industrial expansions. This complex relationship is characterized by a multitude of deals and trade agreements between their respective members. However, beneath the surface, both factions harbor a deep desire to outmaneuver and surpass the other in order to gain dominance within the Marcandrian economy.

Similarly, the Meranzeum occupies a unique position as both a rival and a business partner to the Fulcrum. Given the Meranzeum's status as a religious organization with considerable influence among Marcandrians, it acts as an imposing entity that may oppose the Fulcrum's initiatives in one aspect while providing support in another. This duality hinges on the Meranzeum's perspective of each specific endeavor. Consequently, the Fulcrum regards the Meranzeum as a somewhat intricate business partner, with decisions contingent upon predicting the Meranzeum's stance on their various undertakings.

The Fulcrum vehemently condemns any affiliation with organizations involved in the black market or the trade of illicit goods and openly refuses to engage in business with them. This unwavering position is rooted in pragmatism, recognizing that Marcandrians generally despise illegal dealings. The Fulcrum fully understands that any hint of involvement in illicit trade would lead to substantial public backlash and potential boycotts. Consequently, they consider the risk far too great to even contemplate engaging in such activities. While a few Fulcrum members clandestinely engage in unlawful transactions, the organization swiftly expels any members caught participating in such activities.

 

Stance on Succession conflict

The Fulcrum's official stance is that of neutrality when it comes to the Marcandrian succession crisis that started in the wake of the royal family's murder in the winter of 1349 AD. However, as the crisis progressed, an increasing number of Fulcrum members have started voicing their favor of de Vesci's claim.
