+-   Conglomerate of harbormasters, ship captains, and mining companies who practically control the trade between nearly 100 ports on the [astral plane](../index.html).
     -   Ports include portals to dozens of material planes, multiple to each elemental plane, and even a handful to various transcendental planes.
     -   This area is called the **Astral Trade Zone (ATZ)**.
 -   Maintain excellent maps of all of the astral currents that run between affiliated ports which only their licensed navigators can use.

+-   More properly known as **The Grand Consortium of Arcanists, Enchanters, Sorcerers, Summoners, Thaumaturgists, Warlocks, Wizards, and Others Practiced in Arts Elrditch and Magickal**.
+-   The "guild of guilds" for most arcane spellcasters (although [Bloodmages](/classes/bloodmage.html) are strictly disallowed).
+-   Trade in omnium pieces, a secret coinage made from a magic-infused, quasi-metal substance that can be used to make magic items.
+-   Typically work with the [Astral Trade Union](./astral-trade-union.html), although many of the guilds within are known to work with other factions to further their own agendas.
