<h2>Beliefs</h2>
<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>The Union, along with the numerous smaller trade unions that originally united to create the larger Wayfarer's Union, was formed on the notion that even the humblest artisans, craftspersons, merchants, or business-owners can withstand the pressure of giants if they pull together and all contribute to the wellbeing of one-another's businesses. By banding together and speaking as a single voice, they believe they can have enough sway on the markets and the people who engage in them to thrive even when larger players are trying to push them out. Their collective resources lets them protect one another from the more insidious tactics, and gives them more leverage to to making favorable deals with partners. They also believe this banding together allows them to easier and more fluently trade and make business with one another, allowing one to secure stable &nbsp;supplier and customer relationships that are a lot harder for third parties to disrupt than if they each were on their own. While the Union has changed a lot since its original inception, this core belief in mutual gain through deep and friendly cooperation between members still holds firm.</p>

<li>Believes that by cooperating, those of small and medium businesses are able to survive even in a market that include giants. Lets them protect one another from their more insidious tactics.</li>
<li>Power in numbers. Many small contributions can stand against a monolith.</li>
<li>Banding together gives them greater influence and sway on the markets. Allows them to resist attempts by larger enterprises to push them out. Also allows the Union to make more favorable deals for its members, since they represent such a large volume. Being members of the Union also lets members more easily cooperate and trade with each other (such as a merchant selling raw materials to a craftsperson), allowing both to further facilitate their business.</li>
<li>The Union is, in a way, advertised as a family. Where the Union will aid you, and you are expected to aid other members of the Union. → Wont save your business per say. The Union will aid you in the sense that they'll give you an environment where you can secure steady suppliers for a good price, and can often find steady customers of your goods within the Union (thus having you also act as supplier for someone else).</li>

<li>Org/history note: The small unions that eventually formed the larger Wayfarer Union were initially formed by fellow artisans etc so they could pool together their resources to protect and support each other from other larger enterprises.<ul>
<li>“The Fulcrum's increasing dominance in Marcandrian markets caused numerous groups of artisans etc to band together, creating small unions where they could all contribute resources to help protect and support one another, and to have them all speak with a single voice in the market, thus giving their opinion/voice more influence and weight in it.”</li>
<li>A member of the Union cannot refuse doing business with another in the Union, as that defeat the point. Does not mean they are forced to do business with them, as it does of course have to be lucrative to them as well. it simply means they cannot refuse business due to personal reasons. Consequently, those who do not play nice with other members of the Union are kicked out.</li>
