The Jade Dragon Trading Company is a roleplaying platform that gives merchants a network to sell their wares through. It's a monthly RP event for FCs, individuals, and more to gather, exchange RP, and immerse oneself in the world of Final Fantasy XIV.Employees of the Jade Dragon are volunteers who are willing to facilitate and make the market happen each month.The Jade Dragon Market occurs on the
First Sunday of each monthFCs and individuals interested in holding a stall at the Jade Dragon Market each month should join our discord and look at the "#acquire-a-card" channel to acquire a red card. A lot of flavor has been built around the Jade Dragon Market, but none of it is mandatory to participate.
Market Rules (IC)
No fighting whatsoever. Patrons that break this rule will thrown out by the Keisatsu. Merchants and Shonin who break this rule will have their cards revoked.
You must be issued a Red or Jade Shonin card to sell at the monthly market.
As we are a legitimate business, only legal wares that are permitted to be sold in Eorzea are allowed to be brought to the market. Do not bring anything that skirts or violates these rules.
If a Blue or Jade Shonin asks something of you, please comply. If a Keisatsu asks of you, comply, at threat of being expelled from the market.
Market Rules (OOC)
Please don't fight or be disruptive. We get it, it's the overworld and we can't force you out like we could in a private house. Ultimately, behaviour has to run on the honor system, but continued misbehaving will result in disciplinary action.
Illegal goods are allowed, but must be kept undercover. All of our businesses are completely legitimate, so yours must look that way too. The Keisatsu patrol and enforce the legitimacy of our businesses (but yes, you are allowed to fool them).
While there is no limit on how many Red cards may be issued, there is a limit to the number of stalls at the monthly market. First come, first served.

House Oshiga
Sui-no-Sato is home to some of the most reclusive people in the world.But with the Ruby Princess freed and the door to trade open to the world, the Oshiga clan seized the opportunity. Once, they were fishers beneath the great blue deep for their city, a humble family getting by; but on the surface, their catches were exquisite and incredibly valuable.This sudden burst of wealth to the family sent them to the surface where they rooted themselves in Kugane. Their goods were desired so far and wide that eventually their network became more valuable than the product themselves, and they began to move product for other merchants and companies. The resultant scaling of this business yielded tremendous wealth.
Tsumiko Oshiga, who later bacme known as the Hisui Princess, then took control of her family's estate and wealth after some disagreements and have dramatically expanded the Jade Dragon Trading Company across the seas, touching many places between Kugane, Thavnair, and Ul'dah.House Oshiga now employs a variety of Shonin, or merchants, traders, and administrator who see to the company's operations. Currently, the Princess has gone into reclusion following personal affairs, but she has entrusted the company's wellbeing to her most trusted of Shonin.The Jade Dragon does offer its own supply chain of goods and products, but the bulk of its services and revenue come from opening its network to other merchants and traders.
