Swaggin's Chocolate Company
The Swaggin's Chocolate Company is based in the Capitol City of Ardenholt within the The Kingdom of Arden. It's sole goods are based around the companies patented chocolate recipe, and many different bars and forms of chocolate are sold throughout Arden (especially to the Noble Houses). After starting out as a single shop, the Company currently holds several buildings within Ardenholt, all dedicated to the production of various forms of chocolate.
Being partnered with the Highwater Shipping Co., the success of the Company has gone from strength to strength, with the closely-guarded family recipe being passed from one generation to the next. The current head of the company, Dilbert Swaggins, has only strengthened the profits Swaggin's Chocolate Company, and seeks to start investing in selling chocolate to other empires and countries.
Perhaps the most famous product produced is the Grungo Bar, aptly named after the frog-like Grung that were first seen using Cacao Beans many years ago. A small bar of chocolate, shaped in the image of a Grung, is sold in most of the Cities and large Towns of Arden, although at a price that is far greater than the average peasant can afford.

History
With the growth and success of the Highwater Shipping Co. over the centuries since its foundation, it wasn't long before new and exotic goods found their ways to The Kingdom of Arden. Amongst these, was the Cacao Bean. First discovered in the Calidian Islands, the Cacao Bean was found being used by the frog-like Grung natives as a form of medicine. This was soon bought to Arden for similar means.
As the Cacao Bean became more and more common throughout the Kingdom, it became a popular medicine for the Noble Houses, with its bitterness being thought to represent some healing qualities. It was not long before others started experimenting with Cacao Beans, including the Halfling Rolo Swaggins. An avid inventor, Swaggins tried to unlock all manner of suposed qualities of the Cacao Bean over the course of many years. It was not until sometime around 760 AF that the Halfing started grinding up the beans and combining them with other ingredients. Chocolate was soon invented using a secret recipe, and was an instant hit amongst locals within Ardenholt and the wider Nobility.
With this success, Swaggins set up his own company to produce and distribute chocolate, and fast became the chief importer of Cacao Beans in to Arden. The Company has enjoyed widespread success over the years, with the Swaggin's family passing on the reigns from generation to generation.
