The Guilds and Temples in Muden.
A. Guilds
1. The Brecht Seelunkaufen
Controlled by Theofold, the united merchants of Muden are almost everywhere. They supervise the trading of lumber and shipping supplies, and are very powerful. Even the Quick Fingers (see below), acknowledge their superiority. Under the Halfling's command, this band of hard workers has brought to Muden his wealth.
2. Ela (Eloele)'s Quick fingers
This secret guild of thieves is actually a temple of Ela, and provide all the illicit goods on the local market. This 'convenience' guild is not well-perceived by the inhabitants, but a majority of the population is glad (although no one would ever admit it) to have access to these supplies.
3. Pashacht Importers
The Banshegh Domain (Pashacht) mine emeralds in Muden, and controls 2 guild holdings (in Ruelshegh and Tresahlen). The gems are cut in the Banshegh's domain, and then exported to various kingdoms.
B. Temples
1. Ela's Quick Fingers
The temple is an organization owned by the guilds. Actually a thieves' guild, the Quick Fingers have a very lucrative activity, and nobody publicly acknowledge membership to such organization. While major temples are found in the biggest cities of Muden, small shrines are scattered around the domain.
2. Old Father of Forests
Erik is a popular god in the wooden regions of Muden (Ruelshegh is a good example). Under the leadership of Pieter Astriden, the druids are vassal of tolerance and prize those values among their followers.
3. The Sailing Song of Nesirie
Being a fervent worshipper of the goddess of the Sea, Melisande Reaversbane, Captain of the Royal Fleet, builds a temple of Nesirie wherever she controls a Law holding. Those temples soothe the superstition of sailors before they take the sea.
