Factions and Organisations
Main Organisations
Eitra
The formal name of individual global guilds.
Independent guilds are virtually extinct, having been systematically bought out by the #Florini.
The Eitra of Drapers
A specialised guild branch responsible for cloth production, textile weaving, and the garment trade within Terra Calamarea, primarily based in the town of Dijendam.
Once an independent collective of traditional weavers, it now operates as a unique joint-chartered entity split among all three great Florini families.
The guild serves as the industrial link balancing Van Raccolto's raw fibre supply, Orolumen's clockwork loom technology, and Salvaren's exclusive distribution of the finished cloth bolts.
People
Florini
The Florini are the three elite, ultra-wealthy merchant dynasties (or great houses) that rule the global economy of Aarderra as massive corporate syndicates.
They systematically absorbed nearly all independent trade guilds into their pipelines, creating an absolute monopoly on the world's resources, manufacturing, and commoditised magic.
The primary three families being the #Van Raccolto family, the #Salvaren family, and the #Orolumen family.
Van Raccolto family
Mining, Raw Materials & Refinement
House Van Raccolto specialise entirely in deep earth mining, heavy resource harvesting, and the primary refinement of the elements before they are shipped to the capital.
Salvaren family
Distribution & Logistics
The Salvarens maintain absolute authority over the physical movement of goods, managing the vast transport networks, shipping ports, and high-speed trade corridors that span the world.
Orolumen family
Artisanal & Manufacturing
The Orolumen syndicate hold a monopoly on artisanal craftsmanship, taking refined metals, fibres, and components and transforming them into arcane machinery, textiles, and practical consumer goods.
Molisyni
The global mercantile church and central banking empire of Aarderra, serving as the primary custodian of civil society. Worshipping Forestii, the God of Justice, the Molisyni manages the grand financial lines of the world.
The entire institution is driven by a rigid philosophy of divine stewardship, operating under the theological belief that true societal harmony can only be achieved through a perfectly balanced ledger.
