You need an update of your history lessons Andrew. The Merchants in (late)
Medieval Times were much more than just simple traders. As to the other side
of the Globe, the emperors of China were also traders in their own right.
They effectively monopolised the salt trade. The Italian traders, the Dutch
and the English afterwards all owned huge estates and titles that came with
it. So when you are comparing Olympia to the Medieval days, do it properly.

Just to set the record straight, Hugh is not a Guild of Merchants in
the way any medieval person would understand it. He actually controls
a sizeable domain on Krussos complete with castle and army. This free
trader stuff is a good cover I suppose.
