The Argentum Trade Guild (Japanese: アヴァリティア商会, Avaritia shōkai, lit. Avaritia Company) is a Nation in Xenoblade Chronicles 2. It is mercantile organization based in the Argentum Titans, particularly the largest Titan Goldmouth. The Guild grew up on a ship attached to this Titan who serves to navigate like a balloon. It is a consortium of crafty merchants that is enriched by skillfully taking advantage of tensions between nations and by exploiting the trade of war. It is one of eleven such Nopon Guilds, and the only accessible one.

Emblem

This trading hub is home to a wide variety of people, many of whom are Nopon. It is full of salvage and trading stops and is not affected by the Cloud Sea. The Titan is only large enough to hold the manmade structures of the city—there is generally no wildlife on the Titan itself. Shops are often run by Nopons and usually crowded with business people. Some of them headed by Bana are searching for the legendary Blade Aegis, Pyra, in order to earn a lot of money.

Story

The Guild's history is discussed in Adenine's Heart to Heart, Walking Encyclopedia. Captain Nopopon was a legendary sailor who allegedly conquered all of the Cloud Sea and founded the Nopon Trade Guild. One of his descendants was a Driver that founded the Argentum Trade Guild. This Driver used his Blade as a trade associate, and by forming trade relations in areas affected by the disaster, the Argentum Trade Guild grew to new heights.
