Watchmen of Gold

The Watchmen of Gold  Na Cosantóiri Óir (Raidhsénian) is a merchant's guild that was established in Raidhsénia during the Wánna war, sometime in the year 2 TFD, notably by the wealthy ghrgii breeder, poet, former politician and raconteur Dáb Fatháin.
The organisation exists for several reasons. At its foundation, it is intersupportive of the Solastic Eaglais, cementing interests between the religious elite and powerful private figures. Its members, who are invariably wealthy, seek to use their economic influence to bribe and cajole other tribes, weaker nations or individuals for various objectives. Usually it is to recruit mercenaries from either domestic or foreign sources in order to acheive military and/or political objectives, without burdening the state or its resources.
The guild does not operate with the sanction or approval of the Raidhsénian state however its affiliation to the Eaglais prevents it from acting contrary to the interests of it. Occasionally government attaches will operate co-operatively with watchmen of gold merchants.
