Nope. I can command said guard to a degree, but my priority is the protection of the King.
Let's take a little hypothetical trip, shall we?
Let's say, you're a baker. You set up your shop in the market district and start from scratch. The Marketmaster is going to be the one to make sure you get grain and flour. You're going to make your bread for the public, but you also may make some bread to trade out. The Marketmaster is going to take care of that also. He may hand it to a merchant and send it down the road or hand it off to the Harbormaster.
The Harbormaster essentially does the same thing. Very simple. It's just a series of "Ok. This ship is taking this product here. We expect this to come back." Then repeat. The more ships we have, the more this goes down.
The Marketmaster has taken a portion of the bread and sent it to the Harbormaster for shipping. He's also taken a portion of the bread and sold it to the Church on your behalf, should you want that. The Clerics and Paladins eat your bread, but one gets sick. He ate the bread a week after it was fresh and now has to go see a hospital physician. A physician who was probably trained at Agravaine Academy. Agravaine Academy also teaches provisioning. So a student may have graduated and started to work at the Blue Rose, which just bought a shipment of your bread straight from your bakery.
I've gone from kingdom to kingdom for various reasons. What I have noticed is that everyone knows what they are going to do, but they don't know who to work with. So, I'm waiting for the day I come across a town that has ten bakeries and one butcher haha.
What I want to see in Tyria, especially in the capital, is this constant circular motion. To properly sustain a city, even a nation, you need more than the flow of money and trade though. You need communication and care. Therefor, I put together these positions with that in mind. The circular motions of one hand gently grazing the other as trade is done.
