By becoming the Guild Leader of the Blacksmith Guild, he could set the price for the goods he brought to Parviga.
In guild-regulated cities, it's not the buyer or seller who determines the pricing, but the guild.
The guild assigns a value to your goods, and that's what they're worth.
Therefore, the power of the guild within its industry in the city is great.

"He gave me this information."
