West Company

Overview

The West Company began as a small trading caravan traveling the western reaches of Quassus. The company has since grown to become a large guild with multiple shops in all corners of the continent. Despite this growth, largely spurred on by competition with its rival guilds, the organization has retained the "Company" part of its title. It is now unified with the three other cardinal companies in the Union of the Cardinal Directions.
West Company is currently lead by Valmeila Althadin, who took over the guild with the blessing of Alice Greenpath.

Company Founder

West Company was founded by Nirjvar Greenpath, along with his brothers who each founded the other three cardinal companies. The entire venture began on a bet between the four brothers on which direction would be the most profitable. The drive to win this bet ultimately sprung four of the largest guilds on the continent.

"Cardinal Specialty" - Extraordinary Herbs

The inhabitants of the western reaches of the continent are unusually skilled in the cultivation of various plants. Perhaps it is no surprise that the West Company developed a specialty in growing and selling the most unique plant specimens the continent has seen. These "Extraordinary Herbs" have a variety of uses from medication to creating special fragrances.
