I was thinking about the new levels added to trading companies, and it seems "wrong" that we can't delve into the company's history within the game. It's also strange that distinctions only give us rings, nothing changes in the interaction with NPCs, in the journeys, or in our participation in the company.
One thing that I think would be cool is to have tall tales for each trading company (those that have distinctions), there would be 2 tall tales per company, being released at lv 100 and 500...
It would be a themed story mission, carried out individually (I think it's better this way, but I'm not sure), telling an adventure of someone who achieved prominence in the company. The story needs to be isolated from the main plot, and can take place in any period of time without affecting current and future directions.
