==Activities==

==History==
Staring around the , and continuing on to the Iron crisis that afflicted the Sword Coast in the , the Merchant's League was to compete with the rising Iron Throne mercantile group.

As a result, the city's Council of Four banned the Merchant's League from operating in Baldur's Gate entirely. While the Sashenstar family renounced the organization in public, they maintained a working relationship with the league in secret.
