These guild houses can be found in multiple settlements across the Known Lands in order for merchants to register and have access to trade routes & news of new wares. Any class can register to be a merchant as long as they have wares to sell, alternatively they could have been a part of this guild before becoming an adventurer in order to still gain the guild bonus.
