|---|---|
| The Coin | Traders, bankers, and brokers bound by contract and self-interest — no oaths, no roll of members, and a great deal of leverage. |
| The Root | Not an organisation so much as a habit of the countryside: people who handle their own affairs outside official channels and prefer to be left alone. |
| The Steel | Sellswords, veterans, and drillmasters who sell competence to whoever is paying — and guard their reputations far more carefully than their politics. |
