For those who have not completed games in the 异度神剑 series, this page contains spoilers regarding the plot. Discretion is advised.

The Argentum Trade Guild (Japanese: アヴァリティア商会, Avaritia shōkai, lit. Avaritia Company) is a Nation in 异度神剑 2. It is a mercantile organization located amidst the Argentum Titans, carried by the largest Titan in the area, Goldmouth. The Guild itself is built upon on a ship attached to this Titan, who serves to navigate the Cloud Sea like a balloon. The Argentum Trade Guild is a consortium of crafty 商人 that has become enriched through it skillfully taking advantage of tensions between nations and exploiting the trade of war. It is one of the eleven 诺彭商人 Guilds found across Alrest, and the only accessible one. According to the quest 诺彭 Doubloons Ahoy, six 其它 guilds are named in the game: 诺彭; Larus; Momon; Nardron; Pyrithium, the smallest; and Voltis, the second largest. However Argentum's rise to dominance has left the 其它 behind.

Emblem

This trading hub is home to a wide variety of people, many of whom are 诺彭. It is full of salvage and trading stops and is not affected by the ever-changing tides of Cloud Sea. The Titan floating above the Guild is only large enough to support the man-made structures of the city—there is no wildlife on the Titan itself. Many of the shops in this area are run by 诺彭, and are usually crowded with customers.

Story

The Guild's history is discussed in Adenine's 牵绊, "Walking Encyclopedia". 队长诺噗噗 was a legendary sailor who allegedly conquered all of the Cloud Sea and founded the 诺彭 Trade Guild. One of his descendants was a Driver that founded the Argentum Trade Guild. This Driver used his Blade as a trade associate, and by forming trade relations in areas affected by the disaster, the Argentum Trade Guild grew to new heights.

At the beginning of the story, Chairman Bana of the Argentum Trade Guild is approached by Torna in need of a leftherian Salvager for a high-paying job. Rex ultimately accepts his offer and helps Torna bring up the Ancient Ship. After venturing inside the vessel, Torna and Rex find Pyra, the legendary Aegis. Before Torna can take Pyra for themselves, Rex becomes her Driver, and the two escape the Ancient Ship on Azurda. Bana then informs Dughall that the Aegis is headed to Gormott Province.

The party later stop by the Guild to get a ride to Mor Ardain. They were forced to chase a Gormotti child back to Gormott Province after he stole Roc's Core Crystal from Rex. After the helping the Gormotti kids defeat bandits, they bring Rhys and the 其它 Gormotti children back to the Guild to work.

After Bana is found supplying Torna with 未知 weaponry, he goes on the run, and Niranira is appointed the Acting Chairman of the Argentum Trade Guild. He attends the Ruler's Congress in Indol alongside 领导 and representatives of the 其它 Nations. Bana later plans to assassinate Queen Raqura with Giga Rosa, but he is stopped and captured by Mor Ardain. As punishment, Bana is put to work operating Goldmouth's generator, and Niranira is officially appointed to Chairman.

Niranira begins to look into Bana's schemes and finds out that Bana was secretly funding 琳dwurm, a terrorist organization aimed at destroying nations such as the Empire of Mor Ardain. After stopping Don Dondon, Bana's 父亲 and the 领导 of Lindwurm, Don Dondon is captured and is put to work on Argentum's generator along with Bana.
