It can involve the creation of new products, gathering of resources, delivery of items, anything a merchant can do. Commissions can be done through art submissions, rp participation, or drabble posting. Any member can request and host a commission, and rewards are given to all participants from requestor or system.
Sub-Plots
The world has different stories outside the merchant guild happening on the side not necessarily related to the plot or the merchants. These subplots are significant enough to affect society. Subgroups may exist that have their own plots (e.g. Circus, Mercenary Guild, Pirate Crew). Subplots and Subgroups must be defined first before it is made canon in the group. They can be hosted as a normal RP, a commission, or a big event that requires Event Pass. Subplots can be announced in the Astraea News as well. Subplots can occur any time.
