"Tend well your lands, fill well your hands."
Description
The Union Domestic is a guild of herders, farmers, and merchants. They tend the farmlands and herds within the secure borders of the Heart Realm. Initially, the Union started out as a workforce of farmers and other manual laborers that unionized prior to the signing of the Ambrosia Convention and played a big role in events leading up to it. Now, after centuries of complacency, the Union is rife with new money and self-interest.
It is said that merchants and bureaucrats of the Union are as quick to discard alliances as they are to form them.
Responsibilities
Their contribution to the treaty is mass production of livestock and vegetables, maintaining landlocked trade routes, and waste disposal.
Ranks
Officially, members rise in rank by having a document of “good deeds to the realm” signed by their peers. In practice, however, these writs are freely handed out to anyone who makes a generous enough donation to either The Union Domestic proper or anyone with the authority to give it personally. The number of writs you have claimed equals your rank and are therefore proudly presented within members’ estates. You have complete authority over anyone who is of lesser rank than you, almost like a pyramid scheme.
