Commerce and Communications Company of Felonil/Halcyon

The Waterdeep Commercial Company, or WDCC, was a large company that controlled many trading-related things in Waterdeep. They were established in their earliest attested form in 1142, as the brass merchants known as the Waterdhave Zinc and Copper Trade Company, one of many trading companies in the city. In Halcyon, they were officially a large part of the Commerce and Communications Company, responsible for telegrams, post and as the central shipping authority.
Their uniform was dark grek with a gold badge of a bugle and a flat-top cap.
Most notably in the modern day (1500s onward), they acted as the highest shipping authority, with access to all the port manifests and technically owning all the piers, which private companies and crews could use. They also were responsible for the upkeep of telecommunications in Waterdeep. They maintained both the telephone and telegraph lines of the city.
The telephone was only able to be used for internal affairs within Waterdeep and its close environs, since the cable was expensive for cross-country. 
The telegraph was used for documents and private communication among those who could afford one, but also for international messages, since it was reliable and cheap over long distances, but slow and expensive to hook up to a grid for every house to have one.
== Waterdhavian Telephone Codes ==
These numbered codes would usually be entered by the knowledgeable operator, as you could just say 'Narrows' followed by a number, or even just a place if you knew it. Waterdhavian phone numbers were four numbers after the district code - so for example, The Loft was 4 3450, or Dockward 3450.
