''Some of the Warmasters and Seneschals surrounding her
at the table had traveled for weeks to answer her summons,
sent by their Princes to hear her proposal. “Friends,” she
said, “I have something you want very much. Let’s talk about
prices.” She hadn’t the sway of a Prince, but she didn’t need
it, not tonight. Because in the end, blood was a commodity,
too, and everyone would want to buy.''

At its most basic, Commerce is the practice of buying and selling. However, all the intricate details that go
in to getting goods to market also factor into this skill:
knowing trade routes, evaluating the quality of the goods,
negotiating their prices, keeping track of who might want
what, and what they’d be willing to pay for it. Because
understanding the value of horseflesh doesn’t completely
correlate to, say, the value of silk, you should choose a
field of expertise during character creation. Additional
fields may be purchased with experience or freebie points.
Attempting to deal in a good outside your field of expertise
is treated as though the Skill is at 0, and rolls begin with
their difficulty increased by one.

Not all Commerce is legal; in fact, some of it delves
into the downright inhuman. Trade routes exist for stolen
goods, drugs, and slave trafficking as well as spices and silk.
