Junker Prince

When a Junker becomes powerful enough to man two vessels, she ostensibly becomes a more powerful Junker, yet a tradeswoman she remains. When she hires other captains, she has entered an agreement of trade as she has always in her past. However, when she has a large number of ships and wealth, she will become opulent. Whether that opulence is portrayed in a wealth of jewelry, a wealth of knowledge, or a wealth of problems, that opulence makes her a Prince of the Junkers.   The Junker Princes claim their rule of the Junkers by claiming a large swathe of the Junker's possessions. Noone has to bow before a Junker to be a Sigilian trader, but they definitely hold their monopolies on their trades and will eventually raise prices, offer wealth, or send "privateers" after Junkers who don't swear fealty to a Prince.   These Princes understand that they do need to allow newblood to rise to run their organizations. This has led them to various different ways of working to get everything done. They may initially hire young members directly or hire out Junkers after they have started on their own, whatever works.
