Since its successful revolt against the [[Magocracy of Ambrose]] in 1801 NY Conch has maintained its independence and presented itself as a safe-haven to all, a situation which has leads to it becoming a budding cross-roads of commerical activity. In addition to commerce, and the myriad of individuals who flock to enjoy its isolation from external affairs, Conch's location has sported a profitable mining operation which has unveiled a number of interesting finds, some mineral - some not. |

The West Netherese Trading Company is a conglomeration of various Netherese merchant groups who united following the official independence of Conch being announced and the sudden shifting of legal, and social, opportunities. Seeking to monopolize on the power instability following the revolution, they entered into dialogue early with the leading figures of Conch's new government and arranged an exclusive agreement for trade in the Conch region. | The West Netherese Trading Company is a conglomeration of various Netherese merchant groups who united following the official independence of Conch being announced and the sudden shifting of legal, and social, opportunities.

The West Netherese Trading Company has brought with its exploits a great amount of wealth to Conch, not only in the commodities it can draw in externally but also in its frequent use of sellswords. The hiring of mercenaries serves a multitude of purposes with the prime two being the location and exploitation of new trade commodities and routes by which to transport them, as well the role of escorts for shipments; both those by land and river. | The West Netherese Trading Company has brought with its exploits a great amount of wealth to Conch, not only in the commodities it can draw in externally but also in its frequent use of sellswords.
