Greetings Carants!  It's time for another lore post! Today, we delve into the Merchant's Congregation. We're sure you recognise them from the first GreedFall game - they were the very faction your character was from. Ready your feathery hats and get ready to dramatically open some doors. We've got a long one here for you. A MERCHANT CITYThe Congregation of Merchants is a league of multiple relatively autonomous city-states. Their power has long been based on trade, the nation ruled by a merchant class via the Council of the Congregation. Remaining neutral despite the various conflicts breaking out over the rest of the continent, they continue selling goods and weapons to all who would buy.  Yet with their overexploitation of natural resources, the Malichor plague, and the increased battles for influence between city-states, their power and influence have slowly been declining for many years.  EXPLORATION IN NEW LANDSThe first nation taken to Teer Fradee by the Nauts over a century ago, they attempted to conquer the island to no avail: when trying to exploit the land, the natives retaliated and drove them out of the land. Ashamed of the defeat they suffered, they paid the Nauts to keep their failures along with the existence of the island a secret. Continuing to pillage the island, they’d often take natives captive.  One such native gave birth to a child aboard a ship during the voyage back. This baby was then taken and given to a continental woman who raised it as her own.  CONSEQUENCES AND RETURNTaking the child would have its consequences, however; Naut tradition was infringed as those born at sea must join the Nauts as ‘sea given.’ This voided their contract, and though they didn’t disclose the Congregation’s previous exploits, they soon sold the location of the island to other factions who proceeded to colonise it.  This left the Congregation with no choice but to return. Lady Morange, a woman versed in diplomacy and passionate about foreign cultures became the first governor sent to the island. Creating a city, New Serene, she began establishing diplomatic relations with the other nations and natives living on the island.  Later, by order of the Prince d’Orsay, Constantin d’Orsay took over this role.  ON THE D’ORSAYSThere are two main subfactions within the Congregation: the d’Orsay and the de Vespe. The first hails from the city of Serene, one of the most important cities in the Congregation, with Lord Claude d’Orsay, Constantin’s Father, as its Prince Elect. Dominating Serene, they hold incredible influence over the Council of Congregation to the point where they’ve become synonymous with it.  On top of that, Prince Claude’s reign has seen his family become even more prominent since they spearheaded the foundation of a colony on Teer Fradee. That said, they are not without their rivals – due to the young Constantin’s follies, other factions have begun aspiring to leadership, leading them to be particularly vigilant.  ON THE DE VESPESLead by Prince Alexander, this house hails from the city of Peren, the former capital of an ancient empire. Powerful in Peren, their influence has been stifled by Seren’s and the house d’Orsay’s rise. They’ve long since held power on the council due to the seniority of their house, but since having to bend the knee to the d’Orsay, this has been lost along with any means of reclaiming their position. Unaverse to assassination, espionage, and blackmail to achieve their goals, the de Vespes have a rather sinister reputation within other Congregation cities.  While Prince Alexander mostly avoids direct violence, the ambition he instilled in his children has led them to resort to increasingly extreme means, leading many to succumb to family infighting. His only remaining son, Octave, outlived his brothers due to his penchant for both violence and terror, along with his tendency to destroy all opposition: the Misa, Peren’s River, is said to flow with the blood of his enemies.  THAT'S ALL, FOLKSWith this post, we’ve now talked about all the factions you can meet in the game! Thélème, Deutan, the Nauts, the Coin Guard, the Bridge Alliance, and finally, the Congregation of Merchants. You’ll be able to meet all of them in GreedFall: The Dying World, and we look forward to seeing you discover more about them.  Follow @greedfall and join the discussion:DISCORD X REDDIT FACEBOOK INSTAGRAM

Greetings Carants!  We have something a little different for you today! The world of GreedFall has many different and interesting facets to it, including its very own language: Yecht Fradí. Created by Antoine Henry, linguist and video game language conceptualizer, and Jehanne Rousseau, the creative director of GreedFall, it’s another major part of the world that brings it to life. You’ll find it spoken by the natives scattered across the island of Teer Fradee, including the character you incarnate in GreedFall: The Dying World.  The video below delves into this very aspect of the game. You’ll find it filled with information on the language and its creation, all explained by Antoine Henry himself, as well as details on certain words.  We’ll be back in February for more on Yecht Fradí with a little event we’ve made for you. We hope you’re ready to get your hands on the language yourself!  Follow @greedfall and join the discussion:DISCORD X REDDIT FACEBOOK INSTAGRAM

Greetings Carants! The year rolls to its end, a new one on the horizon. With that one ABBA song blaring everywhere, it’s time to pop some champagne and get ready for the New Year! What joys will 2026 bring, I wonder? Only time will tell. Either way: All we know is that it’s New Year’s Eve, the streets quiet before they burst into life come midnight’s toll. That doesn’t mean we’ve stopped working over here, though! No, we’ve come to celebrate – celebrate you, specifically. The fandom, our fans, and those who have supported us throughout the years.  This is a year review of everything you’ve done. Memes, art, photos, everything. I bet you didn’t think I’d saved them all, right? Wrong! They have their own dedicated folder.  Buckle in, Carants. This is going to be a long one.  HAPPY NEW YEAR, HAPPY NEW YEAR!It’s been a year of memes. Glorious, glorious memes. How you come up with some of these is beyond us, your chaotic minds too big for us to comprehend.  With so much choice, it was hard to pick out ones to share. You all seem to have a favourite character when it comes to them, too: Nilan, your crowned King of Memes, arrived to the party nearly every single time. I wonder what he thinks? Let’s check in with him. Everywhere I go, I feel his judgmental stare. Uh. Hm. Well, moving on.  This divine judgement was captured by pinklemonade from our Discord.   Nilan was too busy thinking about fighting others to notice his friend exploding.  Oh dear. Will VG be okay? It doesn’t seem like Nilan is too keen on helping him. Shéda, meanwhile, appears to have vanished. Hopefully, she’s gone to call an ambulance.  This unfortunate sequence of events was shared by Cain from our Discord.  Hey guys. Where’s the nearest hotel—why are you all looking at me like that?  This poor Nádaig was travelling the world and simply wanted directions to the nearest hotel. Sadly, it met its end at the hands of De Sardet after they misunderstood its intentions.  This tragic moment was captured by ofek_cat_ofek from our Discord.  Ludwig was just trying to enjoy his drink, but Safia wasn’t having it.  Safia, please. Please. You don’t need to threaten him like this. He’s a semi-innocent man, you must understand!  This moment of near-violence was witnessed by TheGreatLark from our Discord. What incredible pictures. They truly bring tears to my eyes. Speaking of, has anyone seen Kurt? I heard he was locked inside a jar by someone from our Discord. I wonder if he’s been freed yet... I’ve heard De Sardet is looking for him. THE PHOTOMODE RIDES INWe also had a fun little event some weeks ago where we asked you to share pictures you’d taken in Photomode. Many of you rose to the challenge, and we wanted to dedicate a section to it – though we couldn’t include all of them, we loved every single one we saw.  What a vicious looking fellow! I’m not sure I’d want to be on the wrong end of those teeth... A good thing this one is docile and allowed this player to get a close-up.  Shared by halkuonn on Discord.   Beautiful, lush forests! An idyllic place to stroll and take a breather when you just need a break.  Shared by Captain on Discord.  Who could forget this moment of your initiation? Well, here it is, immortalised, with the world’s most grumpy ( yet lovable ) man at your side. Shared by Natascha on Discord. A new update means a new adventure. Peren stands tall, welcoming this VG into vast, mysterious lands. I wonder what they discovered here...  Shared by Damsel of Distress on Discord.   Overlooking Olima for a moment's peace is always nice. Sometimes, it's even enough to make you forget the horrors of what you've witnessed thus far. Shared by Ravenfeeder on Discord.  Gazing out over the sunset with your beloved. Could there be anything better? Wait, what was that-- you also want to fight crab-like monstrosities in the sewers as well? Oh, lovely, we have that too.   Shared by CONSTANTIN D'ORSAY #1FAN on Discord.AND FINALLY, ART Art! It breathes life into this world in a true celebration of creativity. Be it the artwork you’ve created or through cosplays, we wanted to take a moment to put it at the forefront.   This amazing Aegis cosplay was created by the wonderful Master-Kankuro and their partner. You can really feel the love poured into it - we're very fortunate to have someone so dedicated taking time to craft these and share them with us. Vasco makes his return thanks to Halkuonn's stunning artwork! Is he preparing a bit of poison to use on his blade? Who can say. All we know is that we're blown away by this piece. The linework is gorgeous - I feel like I've just eaten a 5 course meal but for my eyes! This beautiful piece features CONSTANTIN D’ORSAY #1FAN's OC Victoria and our beloved Constantin being incredibly sweet together. That said, De Sardet doesn’t seem so keen on the public display of affection. Maybe a new hat will distract them? A huge thank you to the artists who let us use their artwork in this post. Your creativity has shone through this year, and we’ve felt incredibly lucky to have such a skilled fandom. We’re excited to see what next year will bring! THANK YOUFrom the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for all your support and laughs this past year. We’ll see you next year for some news – until then, Carants, we wish you all a Happy New Year! May 2026 bring you all joy and happiness!  Follow @greedfall and join the discussion:DISCORD X REDDIT FACEBOOK INSTAGRAM

The Steam page will also be updated in the future to reflect this change.Release dateIn January, we’ll also have an important announcement regarding the game’s release date.
