Public Agenda
To engage in trade and mercantile business through out the world. As well as maximize all present profits and assets.
Assets
Unbelievably various and manifold. From coin, goods, and contracts. To manpower, mercenaries, and ships. The Company has the resources to be a nation unto itself. With political influence through out the world. With the exceptions of The Skaari in Bulgaard, who abhor wealth, finery, and excessive luxury. And the rigid and isolationist policies of The Ramian Empire. Who at every turn seek to usurp the Company as the dominant economic power.
History
First established in the Fourth Aeon 79 A.E. under the reign of Vaeldemar Palimon to establish a transcontinental trade cooperation between the various and rival merchants guilds and their investors. The Shattered Sea Company was established in the Shattered Sea for the centralized cross traffic between the Burgeoning Heartland Realms, and the rich and mysterious Eastern Kingdoms and princepalities of The Great Abkari Desert. Operating under the same Charter since its founding. The Shattered Sea Company has conducted business on nearly every shore of each continent ever since.
Originally established to kickstart the economy of the Heartland Realms, and to end the rivalry of the various Merchant Cartels that arose from dissolvement of The Ellician Empire. Having maintained and even horded various financial connections and trade routes that kept the Old Empire running. But their rivalries made life for the common people difficult. To the point of wide spread starvation, sickness, and danger from the various bandit gangs that now plagued the common people without recourse.
