Nether Region Industries
Nether Region Industries and the Cobalt Grove Mineshaft is a "family" owned business by a kobold Urka who found that outside of dwarves, most creatures did not like to go underground into mines and caves. He petitioned to be allowed to come in and dig in the current mine and expanded it, made it "safer", and brought a decent wealth and prosperity to Braymoor. Because of this he is now the current sitting mayor.
Structure
Nether Region Industries operates with a straightforward hierarchical structure, focusing on efficiency and practicality. At the top sits Urka, the kobold founder and current mayor of Braymoor, who oversees all major operations and decisions. Beneath him are departmental leaders managing three key roles: explorers, guards, and miners. Explorers chart new underground paths, guards ensure safety and security, and miners extract resources. While miners are exclusively kobolds or dwarves, guards and explorers are occasionally subcontracted out to adventurers. Uniforms marked with numbered identifiers create a sense of hierarchy within the workforce.
Culture
The company’s culture reflects Urka’s kobold roots—resourceful, pragmatic, and keen on rewarding loyalty. Employees are issued uniforms with a numbering system that ties to their role and tenure. Promotions are celebrated with permanent stitched numbers, symbolizing an employee’s contribution and commitment. This fosters a sense of pride and competition within the workforce.
Public Agenda
Nether Region Industries aims to bolster the local economy of Braymoor while setting new standards for mining operations. The company prioritizes safety, sustainability, and prosperity for the town, using modernized techniques and technology. Its public image is one of reliability and innovation, with Urka often emphasizing the company’s role in Braymoor’s revitalization. Community involvement is a key tenet, as the company seeks to maintain public trust and support through visible contributions to local infrastructure.
Assets
Nether Region Industries boasts significant assets, including the expansive Cobalt Grove Mineshaft, which Urka expanded and modernized after taking over. The company also possesses specialized mining equipment, much of which is tailored to kobold or dwarf use, as well as enchanted tools for efficiency. A small but effective fleet of carts and transport systems facilitates the movement of ore and minerals. The uniform system doubles as an asset, streamlining employee management. Additionally, Urka’s position as mayor provides indirect access to town resources and influence.
History
Urka petitioned Braymoor’s leaders to gain control of the Cobalt Grove Mineshaft, citing kobolds’ natural talent for underground work. He revolutionized mining safety and introduced efficiency measures that doubled productivity. His leadership led to increased wealth for Braymoor, elevating his status to mayor. Urka’s ingenuity turned Nether Region Industries into a vital part of the community, dispelling stereotypes about kobold incompetence and proving their value in a complex industry.
