Interest group – Orzhov Chamber of Commerce.

The Orzhov Chamber of Commerce was founded on the belief that wealth is power, that structure breeds wealth, and that the Chamber of Commerce creates structure. The Chamber of Commerce operates like a combination of religions, credit institutions, and gangsters. A lavish class of accountants, enforcers, and ghost councillors rules over a crowd of guilt-bound loyalists and indebted souls. Many members of the Orzhov Guild were convinced that their rule was necessary to make Elsa perfect, and they would do whatever it took to gain power. Most of the empire's rulers saw Orzhov as a corrupt institution, but many were lured by their promises of wealth, prestige, and longevity.

The Ghost Council Ojieda:

The Orzhov Chamber of Commerce is ruled by a council of ghostly dictators, Ojieda, who have retained their wealth and power despite being detached from mortal bodies. The members of Ojieda call their organization the capital of survival because they have managed to cheat their mortal fate, keeping their consciousness and their greed out of the gates of death. Most of the members of Ojieda have the appearance of pale aristocrats. They are bigoted and resentful dictators, often trying to thwart ambitious subordinates, crush rumormongers, and spy on potential enemies. They crave wealth, respect, and loyalty. Ojieda rarely speaks directly to people outside the chamber; They usually communicate only through their official envoy, Tessa Karloff.

Association:

Reporting to Ojelda is a network of federations, which are independent operating units of the Orzhov Group. Each guild is in charge of the territories and bazaars of the different cities, villages, and towns on Aisha - usually as executors, and has its own class structure of accountants, lawyers, enforcers, etc. Each guild is led by a merchant who plays a role between a gang leader, a bank manager, and a high lawyer. The guilds will also compete with each other for resources and markets, and try to tie up with Tessa and Ojieda.

Grand Envoy Tessa Karloff:

The greedy Ojieda, as well as the leaders of the various federations that are constantly arguing, are usually not competent spokesmen for the Orzhov group. As a member of the Humans, Tessa Karloff has a special title of "Grand Envoy" and is responsible for the official spokesperson and messenger work for members of the Ghost Council of Ojieda. Tessa is a former lawyer and involved in the development of the current version of the Chamber of Commerce Treaty, and she is entering middle age, and her wit is accompanied by intelligence and insight. She also has her own ambitions; Her unique position allows her to not only express the wishes of the Ghost Council, but also to fabricate the Guild's policies. Tessa is not the official ruler of the guild - Ojieda still occupies that position - but many believe that disobeying Tessa is tantamount to disobeying the entire chamber of commerce.

Extravagant Cathedral of Orzhova:

The synod's guild hall is Ozova, sometimes referred to as the Merchant Church. It is a lavish cathedral with extremely high ceilings, designed to make anyone who enters feel small and disproportionate. Exaggerated stained-glass windows and giant marble statues depict a group of wealthy bishops, angels of law enforcement, and ghosts affiliated with the Chamber of Commerce.

Mausoleum Block Obitov:

When an Orzhov family died, he or she was usually buried in Obitov, a city controlled by Orzhov that was full of mausoleums, monuments, and cellars. Erbitov is guarded by thrulls, priests, and the occasional zombie. The inscription on Erbitov's tombstone is also said to have changed from time to time, reflecting the fortune of the deceased's family.

Vicopa Bank:

Orzhov's trading center was the Velcopa Bank, a massive structure guarded by gargoyles and floating spirits of debt collectors. Not only is the Guild the location where most of its wealth is kept, but it is also where most of the currency circulating on the black market is minted. The core of Vecopa is guarded by a powerful faceless ghost, whose voice is said to curse souls.

Coin Street:

Some of the streets of Ravnica are often home to some of Orzhov's ornate churches, but one street has more Orzhov monks and councillors than any other area. Numismatic Street takes its name from an old foundry on this street, where coins were once made on the black market (now run by Vicopa Bank). But now the name has taken on a new meaning, representing the money and wealth of the Orzhov guild members who trade here. Coin Street is home to many high-end shops and restaurants, and those who don't meet the high standards are frowned upon.

Orzhov member role

Monk: The executor of the hollow religion. Many of Orzhov's middle class occupied positions in a number of religious positions, ranging from low-ranking acolytes to high-ranking bishops. The Orzhov monks seem to be more faithless than the rest of the plane's religions, following their own beliefs, but their beliefs revolve around the distribution of power rather than divine figures. Monks are named for their specific duties. The sinners rebuke those who do not follow the teachings of Orzhov; The forgiver frees his followers from their sins, usually by exchanging them for expensive gifts.

Killer: Professional killer. Being a killer of the Orzhov guild is sometimes complicated and has different names. Some were executioners—giants who carried out papal trials. Some are ghost assassins who will sever "business ties" with whistleblowers and other unreliable business partners. Others are warriors who protect the public by threatening the enemy. If Orzhov wants to finish off someone, whether it's a member of Orzhov or someone outside the Chamber of Commerce, Orzhov likes to send a message to the outside world through murder. Orzhov's assassinations were usually carried out by signing something resembling a military warrant and even being hyped up with elaborate rituals. In essence, of course, most of the killers of the Orzhov Chamber of Commerce have a background in the Blade of Erreis.

Knight: A model of virtue and sin. In fact, it is the more noble class among the Orzhov members, which means that they have somehow proven their allegiance and ability. Every time someone is knighted, his or her name represents a certain noble quality. This quality does not need to be a virtue in the traditional sense. For example, a Knights of Confession may represent the virtue of atonement for the sins of others' past, while Knights of Despair may be those who bring doom to the enemies of the group. Of course, only accountants and businessmen can enjoy the title of this class.

Director: Matter Administrator. The Orzhov Group hired a group of lawyers, counselors, commanders, accountants, strategists, and messengers to run the business and run the guild's activities. Generally, these guild members are called councillors, but they also have many different names. Some are powerful lawyers, sometimes called Dharma advocates, who can verify the truth of someone else's words through a spell called the "Ring of Truth." Some are accountants who are responsible for borrowing money and keeping track of debts. Some of the directors are roadmen, coordinating the flow of resources and planning transactions with other organizations. Others, such as mercenaries, deliver goods or hide items from outposts. Although the Council members are not as well-known as the Bishops or Ojdals, they hold the actual power of the Guild, as they often control how the Guild communicates with powerful forces from the outside world.

Thrurmon: Constructed from carrion and wearing masks made from scrap coins, Thrullmons are at the lowest level of the Orzhov class. They are the servants of the magic creation, they serve their masters, pick up and deliver letters, or guard the entrance to the temple. Experienced Throwl makers can create large Throwl to perform strange tasks - as flying vehicles, coachmen, or mobile vaults. Some of the Orzhov elite used thrullmons as fashionable accessories, chaining them to chains and carrying them with them like pets.

Angel: Unfettered power. Angels are a rare species in the Orzhov Guild. Angels are often the embodiment of faith and collection, so most angels are averse to being associated with the guilds of wealth and greed. But the angels of the Orzhov Chamber of Commerce are actually fundamentally different from the Blazing Divine Servants. These creatures, known as angels, were actually born from the graveyard by imbuing sinful souls with a kind of beast-like man. Orzhov Angels can serve as executioners, commanders, bishops, or other high-ranking positions, but they usually tend to make their own work plans. Angels always soar alone according to their wishes and complete their tasks brilliantly and mercilessly.

Spirit: An undead debt claimant. When a member of the Orzhov Guild dies, the debts he or she owes to the guild are usually not paid. Serving the guild to the death is the price of entering the guild, which also makes the Orzhov guild lead thousands of spirit minions. Note that the situation of these spirit debt claimants is completely different from that of the council members of Ojieda, who have obtained immortality. Only the debtors of the Orzhov Chamber of Commerce will be turned into spirits after death. And when these indebted spirits pay off their debts, the members of Ojenda will grant them pain to their souls for relief.

Michael and York were carried on a stretcher back to the logging fortress.

On the way, although York had woken up, his injuries were too serious, and everyone was rushing day and night to get a good rest. As a result, Michael didn't have much time to meditate to regain his mental strength, let alone heal York and himself.

Lady Elpala cheerfully welcomed the return, though she had been frowning for days.

Jon had been by Elpara's side all this time, but no matter what he tried, he couldn't change Elpala's frown.

Maybe it's because I'm too bad to speak? Or is it true that Elpala hates me? He thought. In fact, Lady Elpara doesn't really hate Jon, but on the one hand, she is a little tired of Jon's frivolity, and on the other hand, she is a little embarrassed to face Jon's relentless confession. Thus, with a somewhat bored look, Elpara was able to temporarily evade Jon's pursuit - and she herself was able to catch her breath.

"Thank goodness! You're back alive! That's a great thing! Elpala smiled, hugged Michael and Joseph with open arms, and then encouraged the others.

However, she also noticed that everyone's interest did not seem to be very high. That's when she realized that there seemed to be one less person in the team. "I didn't see that young man from Luke, don't I..." Elpara couldn't say more.

"Report! Lady! Rook, Rook is here! Pete's voice rang out, and he was seen holding a small money bag in both hands—containing Rook's ashes.

Elpala froze for a moment, her trembling hands trying to take the little purse, but she couldn't make up her mind. In the end, she just took Pete's hand with one hand, patted him on the shoulder with the other, and whispered, "He died in honor, I think." ”

Pete choked up a little: "Yes, ma'am! He fought valiantly, and before he died, he achieved great glory, and he gave a black wolf bird a fatal blow. ”

Hearing this, everyone nodded, and Elpala asked again, "Does he still have a family?" I know that you are like brothers to him, and I think what to do with his remains requires your advice. ”

Pete was silent for a moment and said, "Sorry, thank you, ma'am. Rook has no relatives left, otherwise he wouldn't have stayed at the Logging Fortress. I think... I wonder if you can officiate at a simple funeral with Mr. Michael and Mr. Joseph. In the woods, we had to burn his body and bring back the ashes. However, I think his honor is worthy of a formal funeral, if possible. ”

"Pete, don't worry, I agree to officiate at Luke's funeral. I don't think Mr. Michael and Joseph would mind. Isn't it? He looked at the two of them. One of them nodded, and the other gestured with his eyes. Their demeanor and actions are full of sincerity, unpretentious and unpretentious.
