Tidal Merchant Group.
An organization of immense influence across the entire Depths of Banquet, its reach extending even beyond these waters into distant territories.
They were not merely merchants.
They were a power capable of standing toe-to-toe with the greatest forces in the Depths of Banquet.
The group was governed by three dominant families: The Rulman Household, the Waterfield Clan, and the Reinfir Clan.
Together, they controlled the tides of power, wealth, and information across the Depths of Banquet.
The three ruling families of the Tidal Merchant Group were each rooted in different nations.
The Rulman Household resided within the Tarrant Nation.
The Waterfield Clan held its base in the Bodam Kingdom.
And lastly, the Reinfir Clan governed its domain from the Creasant Republic.
...
The following day, shocking news spread across the entire Depths of Banquet.
The Bodam Kingdom had declared war on the Tarrant Nation.
