Their way of trading
Everyone joining the merchant faction first gets a summary of all the rules by the leader. He will always emphasize on how important it will be for them to never try and get more from their trades as they need, and always be mindful enough, to think about if they would buy their goods for the prices they are marked at and back off otherwise. This became the most successful practice to achieve a comfortable life by means of trading during all his years of experience. "A peaceful life is guaranteed, if you have enough wealth to enjoy good food and drinks and don't need to fear someone else’s power ruling over your path or even ending it." With this the leader will assign someone he deems worthy of conveying practical experience, before being ready to start a merchant’s life.

The main camp is regurlarly used for lush feasts where everyone contributes their favourite foods and drinks and enjoys being part of a group of like-minded individuals. But appart from these gatherings most live individual lives. Trades are kept secret, as knowledge about them could ruin friendships. Also, help is always offered by means of time or knowledge and never money, further preserving their friendships.

It’s lacking cohesion. Focus on what they have in common and what they share. Move away from the idea that everyone is entirely individualistic and instead think about what unites them, enabling individuality while still maintaining a shared culture. For example, are there bands that combine wildly different instruments? Do they embrace a melting pot of traditions and practices? Picture a culture already formed by the blending of other cultures.
