The Western Flanaess Trading Company was created in 596 CY by Lord Regent Ellis Lorinar.

He appointed some trusted nobles to sit on the board of the company including adventurers to help manage the company in the West. The company also has a need for explorers to further its interests in distant lands, guards to protect its trade caravans, and merchants both abroad and at home to buy and sell its goods.[1]
