The Auction House was a vital part that connected multiple branches everywhere for players to gather and list their items to be bought out or to be bid for.
It could be considered the largest organization that makes a ton of money.
However, that was only because of its credibility and approval from the Aetheria Empire.
After all, not every Auction House operated under the same jurisdiction.
Think of it like a fast food franchise. There was the headquarters which controlled most things, and then there were the fast food franchise branches.
Fast food franchise branches are individual business units operating under the same brand name and standardized operating procedures.
They determined their own business model without intervention from the headquarters. But in return, they must pay a hefty fee to operate under their name brand as well as meeting the criteria to become eligible to become a branch.
