<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><strong>FULCRUM TEXT, FOR REFERENCE:</strong></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>

<h2>Goals</h2>
<p>asd</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>Protect one another from being pushed out of the market, done through numbers power in numbers.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Organization</h2>
<p>The Wayferer's Union exists in a middle-ground between a federation of merchant, craftsmen, and artisan guilds that are lead by a delegate assembly; and a business jointly owned by three powerful Marcandrian families.</p>
<p>The Wayfarer's Union traces its origin back to a large number of small local guilds spread among Marcandrian settlements. These were formed by smaller merchants, craftsmen, and artisans of similar professions, typically all operating in the same settlement, in order to protect themselves and allow them to compete with larger companies and organizations — most notably against larger businesses that were part of <a href="/HBW/Eirus/Marcandria/Factions/Fulcrum">the Fulcrum</a>. These local guilds provided a level of organization and support that helped members set fair prices for their goods, better negotiate with suppliers and consumers, and establish standards for quality and craftmanship. Through the guild's shared resources, guild members could pool their resources to invest in new projects and ventures, and could provide mutual support in times of need. This helped the smaller businesses of its member create a more level playing field, and helped prevent its members from being pushed out of the market by larger competitors.</p>
