The Trading Companies
Image

Although hated by pirates outside of the Sea of Thieves, they nonetheless have found means to operate here. Many Trading Companies operating in the Sea of Thieves really have no choice but to do business with pirates and sailors of ill-repute. Almost every Trading Company values profits over honor anyway. While a majority of the gold, silver, and gems in the Sea of Thieves have been claimed, the Trading Companies all have found their own ways to make profits, and many pirates have found that doing work with the business-savvy Trading Companies provides them with a fairly reliable source of income to continue funding their own expeditions, or their fancy wardrobes and ship liveries.

The Gold Hoarders
Image
The Gold Hoarders are a Trading Company that values and hoards all that glitters. Perhaps one of the first companies to be established in the Sea of Thieves, they have representatives at every outpost. They hold almost all the keys to the various locked chests buried throughout the Sea of Thieves, chests which cannot be opened by any other means. They'll contract pirates to bring these chests to them, and they'll share a portion of its contents as payments, although they can be persuaded to buy anything that has an illustrious glimmer to it.


The Merchant Alliance
Image
One of the oldest companies on the seas, the Merchant Alliance can be relied on to get anyone anything from just about anywhere, and the Sea of Thieves is no exception, as their representatives can be found on the docks of every outpost. As you can imagine by what the name implies, the merchants don't do much sailing on these waters themselves, and instead they contract pirates to retrieve goods (such as animals or ship supplies) or ship cargo across these hazardous waters. Of course, they're sticklers for time, and will only pay for service that can meet deadlines or keep cargo in good condition. They'll also be willing to buy excess supplies in good condition, but they'll only pay handsomely for wherever the demand is.


The Order of Souls
Image
The Order of Souls is perhaps the most esoteric of the Trading Companies, working to uncover the secrets of the Sea of Thieves, a profitable business venture. They can uncover the memories of long-dead captains through the skulls of their undead skeletons. As such, they have representatives present at every outpost who will pay handsomely for skulls that brim with the occult power that keeps their memories alive, and will post bounties for skeleton captains they have special interest in, whenever said skeletons have been sighted. They'll also be willing to buy anything else that stimulates their occult interests.

The Sea Dogs
Image
The Sea Dogs are a company unconcerned with any trade but the trading of blows and cannon-fire in their glorious Arena. Founded by the son and daughter of the Pirate Lord himself, DeMarco and Lisedi Singh and their company host an annual competition known as The Arena, a competition where several pirate crews are challenged with finding and redeeming as many buried chests of silver as they can find, be it digging them up themselves, or stealing it from the competition. The Sea Dogs value showmanship and intense, tale-worthy competition above all else, and offer extravagant prizes for the victors. Performing certain feats can also earn a pirate commendations that come with additional prizes.
