An individual with Master Financial Influence may choose to create a group that is a sister-organization to one of the Financial Institutions used for the Proficient Financial Influence check-in skill. They should inform their branch with an Action Request (below) of this decision and state which Financial Institution they choose to ally with. This is separate from using Master Financial Influence to request a module. (pg 119)
Financial Institutions for Crystal Creek
TWIN SUNS
Specializing in transporting cargo along the coast and up and down the waterways of Crystal Creek the Twin Suns have expanded past ships, but still consider themselves ‘piratical merchants' of the Riverlands.
Founded by Rovers they take contracts and matters of their word very seriously. Many of them wear scarves even if they’re not Rovers and they all have a crew tattoo.
tarbucks trading co.
Morally absent at best and depraved at worst, they trust no one outside their faction, and will generally work with the highest bidder until it no longer suits their interests.
Saltwise, Baywalkers. No dominant faith presence. Denizens wear a short length of rope around their torso like a sash to identify their own as well as a crew tattoo
The Regal Families
These are the surviving Pure Blood Families, traveling together with their retainers and wealth. They provide a faction that is always willing to spend money instead of do work themselves, always looking for a good trade deal and are just a little disconnected from the realities that others view.
The 4 different Pure Blood families that make this group work together to generate capital, reputation, and good working relations with those in power.
the guiding hand
A subsect of the Sainthood of Ashes this group was mostly comprised of Rovers and Nation of Accensors, but lately many Townies have flocked to the group.
Since the Great War they have become a trading partner with larger groups across the Riverlands. They all still wear the same patch and focus on helping Blue Birds and those still new to the wasteland.
Coleman caravan
Mainly Rovers, but they hire other strains to help with guarding and other tasks. They also are fairly apolitical, but have a good relationship with Crystal Creek due to their alliance during The War. All of the Rovers are atheists and wear a particular scarf. While they are apolitical, they have many dealings with various groups across the wastes.
Wanton Waverider Entertainment
They are allies with anyone who will do business, and especially like working with farmers, because they’re always in need of herb. They don’t particularly like the Tarbucks Trading Co. crew, because they tend to cheat at cards and start bar fights. There is a heavy presence of Hedons, TV’s, and Kings Court. This faction runs out of a large ship that travels the bay as a mobile bar/brothel/casino.
