| 288 | Hello there
There are refernces to bakers, butchers, carvers, brewers, gem cutters, etc, etc and then of course we have Merchants.
What I am looking for (if it exists) is something that confirms if bakers, brewers, etc are considered castes in their own right or, if they sell their products, are subsets of the caste of merchants ?
If a baker or brewer is a caste how/could they become a "Merchant" ? Would a Baker that owns and runs their own shop be a Merchant ? If a brewer built up a name and had trade deals with other cities would they now be a merchant ?
A lot of questions I know, sorry. In short - what would be the difference between calling a person a Baker or a Merchant ?
Thank you
PS - Kudos for keeping this site going
Answer
Basically all the research has already been done for you.
If you go to Castes you’ll find all the castes mentioned throughout the series.
To more explicitly answer your question concerning if the Caste of Bakers is just a subcaste of the Caste of Merchants, you can go to Bakers, use Crtl F and enter the word Merchants in the search field.
The result shows there is no mention of the Caste of Merchants as they relate to the Caste of Bakers.
If indeed the Caste of Bakers were a subcaste of the Caste of Merchants, it would be shown on the Bakers page.
