Menagerie Market

"We live and breathe trade."―The Menagerie Market MottoThe Menagerie Market is known for its presence across the former state of Ohio, most notably around the cities Cleveland and Columbus. Sometimes they would have merchants originating 
from the market to as far as Ontario, Canada. 
Established in year 2142 by a group of tradesmen who thought it be more beneficial if they supported themselves as an established corporation. The founders consisted of a blacksmith, a clothier, a fisherman, and an architect. Becoming the pillars of this market, they would hide their identities as well as their families to avoid the direct influence of unions who would wish to harm them to take advantage of their thriving business. Only the most cunning could discover who these influential members are. 
During the years 2154-2163, the Menagerie Market has since become an influential group that controls several establishments related to unaffiliated tradesmen and has consistently challenged values set by unions as well as more influential factions like the Coalition. To date, many in the industries that the Menagerie Market participates in would always consider the general pricings the market deems products they themselves sell.
A darker side to the Menagerie Market is their practice in selling and trading creatures of strange origin as well as exotic-foreign animals. And some off-branched groups under the market name would also sell slaves or eldritch. Hence the name, Menagerie, though the origin of the name came from the promise of different people coming together—no matter the origin or talent, to sell and protect their rights from union influence. This is still a continued promise to those who swear loyalty to the market which has made their reputation substantial in all business of commerce.
The location itself is also named after the group, sporting several large tents with a tall building between Columbus and Cleveland where the company resides. They are heavily defended with their own militia with established training in counter-eldritch defenses as well as fending off raiders or any attempt at infiltration by unions.
Menagerie Market also has docks parallel to the southern tides of the Sunrise Islands. There many traders and merchants are gathered. A special currency used by merchants considered members of the market is Golden Cards which are priced at around 100 ND each.
