Company of Merchant Adventurers & Guardians of Sterling

Greetings traveler, and well met! And thanks to thee for visiting our Guildhall. Mayhaps better called a digital guildhall? Virtual guildhall? Works for me. Our Company name is, by admission, quite a mouthful. "The Company of Merchant Adventurers and Guardians of Sterling". Try fitting all of that on a business card! Why, then, the extended moniker?

We were taking these slices of watermelon to Her Majesty, but they kept magically floating away and vanishing into thin air! This is why you don't carry sweet treats through the Forest Walk, you never know when the are going to sneak up on you!

Some of you may wonder - why is Queen Elizabeth I arriving in the small shire of Sterling, also known as the New York Renaissance Faire? Well, traveling the realm was something Her Majesty did every couple of years to see her subjects and the lands she presided over. These trips - or "progresses" took her to towns and manors throughout southern England and the midlands, where she was able to see—and be seen by—a broad cross-section of her subjects....

Four more days! Our Merchant Hall is all prettified and ready for visitors! We've got maps, and sacks...and maps! Did I mention how pretty it looks?

Our porters unloading supplies from the docks, getting ready for the gates of Sterling to open her doors to the public while a pair of merchants haggle over the price of a hat! (ignore the dragon chariot in the background, nothing to see here...)
