Guild Bank

The Guild Bank, commonly referred to as "the Guild", is the richest bank in the world. It is based in Palinor, but there are several branches around the Commonwealth that hold accounts for the Guild. As well as dealing with deposits, the Guild has investments in almost every trade and has a strong foothold in the court of the Commonwealth. Unlike other banks, called "holders", the Guild has been granted by the Commonwealth Exchange the exclusive right to loan large amounts of money overseen by Bailiffs. Authorized moneylenders are called guilders.
The vaults were built by the dwarves of Deen Morith to be the most impenetrable structure in the world. The walls and door are made from solid adamantine. It is the only bank thus far to never have been robbed.
The Guild has a fearsome reputation when collecting debts. When a king defaults on their debts or are foolish enough not to honour their agreements with the Guild, a new king appear with the Guild's support.
