The Artisans (clique)
Representing the combined interests of the city's guilds and experienced tradespeople, the artisans are a diverse clique whose membership ranges from the Path Blessed Guild of Gisreddean Shoemakers to the Esteemed Brotherhood of Brewers and Vintners, and even include the Sisters and Brothers of the Rose - the city's remarkably influential courtesans guild. United mostly by their need to ensure a steady flow of raw materials and patrons, they will tend to support any policy which ensures access to both. Conversely they will be highly resistant to policies which could break their stranglehold on finished goods. As the common people are usually associated in some way with these artisans, they are represented within this clique as well.
