Atrikoi (pure clique)
The Patrons or 'Atrikoi' is a general term for the mercantile appendage of the order, consisting of both trade-minded Calystianites as well as merchants on good terms with the order. Willing to fund or support mercantile endeavors in exchange for a share of the profit, the Patrons receive not only monetary support but also access to Calystianite maps and knowledge of the sea, as well as the threat of Liberators unleashing brutal reprisals on any pirates who dare attack their ships. The goal of this is not only to gather resources for the order, but also to economically disincentivize slavery, as the Calystianites refuse to do business with any merchants that are known to engage with the slave trade. Should a slave trader gain access to the benefits of Patrons, they would theoretically benefit greatly from their information on the Liberators' activities, though surely no honest Calystianite or merchant would provide them with such information...
